An article about how British people are generally voice-message averse compared to other cultures and not one mention of the fact we find it discourteous to talk on the phone in the presence of others?
That's the reason we don't use voice messages, and I don't need to read any research papers to tell you that. We HATE hearing other people's phone calls, whether one side or both.
Unless you're at home alone, a voice message is never going to make a welcome appearance. 🤣
Lost points in the pub quiz last night for saying Garlic is in the Onion family (Amaryllidaceae in EOL/iNaturalist). The wanted answer was "Lily family". Unfortunately taxonomy of many monocots has been in flux for a while, as wikipedia says "the circumscription of Liliaceae is not monophyletic").
Don't you just love feeling guilty for being the first person to get on the bus, even if you were standing, alone, at this stop long before anyone else showed up...
PSA
If, like some kind of idiot, you accidentally buy sugar free Heinz baked beans and then discover they taste like crap, the following helps greatly.
Knob of butter
Plenty of black pepper
A good squeeze of Heinz ketchup
A splash of Worcestershire sauce
And finally a flourish of grated cheddar.
A colleague bough *skimmed* milk when it was their turn to buy milk for the #tea kitchen.
Unforgivable.
Lies! Is nothing sacred anymore?! #NotMyMonsterMunch
Yesterday the children saw a video about #Muppets, how they're made, and animated. They wondered if we have any puppets, and the answer is: Yes.
Not a Muppet, but deep in a box of my old children's toys, we have Edd The Duck. Terrifying.
