More UK-wide i'm partial to Fox's biscuits too:

Empire biscuit - Scotland specific but you might find them south of the bordr. Can be done badly (I'm looking at you Tesco) and come in sizes handy to "I'll never manage that but I'll give it a good try". For reference: https://baynes.co.uk/product/empire-biscuits-2-pack/

A mixed bag but manageable. Think I'm in the middle of an attack of sciatica right now but got a mercifully quick NHS physio appointment next week so we'll see. Best wishes all.

Good luck with your test. Took my third tries. By the third attempt I was used to the drill and went in assuming I'd fail again but it took the nerves away and passed (in truth I think I'd finally got some road sense) .

I'm aged 6 (mouths the word "six" ala the Joker in The Dark Knight) and I see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the first time and think I realised I really enjoyed music and where it took me. I then nagged my Mum for the soundtrack album and tried to work out how to play the tunes on my Grans piano.

You almost have to admire the brass neck of the guy. I mean we've got a long way to go to match the vast crop of Yorkshire grown tea (Ho Ho).

You know what? I enjoyed the Capaldi era and would've been well happy if he had continued for another 13 episodes. Bill was a great companion too with terrific acting chops.

Scotland calling (technically UK but you know...)

Looking forward to this. Originally shot in VistaVision (horizontal 35mm). Thanks for sharing.

Ha. Thanks. Navigating those delicate variations in the shared English language (lollies for sweets, chips for crisps and yet chips are chips. I'll never get that). Oddly my OH says pasta as in parstar compared to my pasta as in..er..Rasta. Language eh.Don't get me started on Yoghurt as in Yowghurt.

I've always said scone as in bone. My Aussie other half says skon so by default I end up saying "scone slash scon". I count this as being billingual.
