@pgktr There are a few theories but I honestly don't know.

@jbminn I worked for a global organisation for 25+ years. Was given notice and 2 days later found my role being advertised in Poland. It wasn't about me, just my location and the market 'price' for resource there.
That's all I was, a regrettable expense on a balance sheet. Not a human, not a sentient being with responsibilities and a right to a standard of living. Just a number.
@woozle Thank you for the PSA

We want the Government to take action to cut down plastic pollution by banning single-use plastic bottles in the manufacture of soft drinks in the UK. We say planet before profits and support us in telling the Government to take action today, ban the use of plastic bottles for soft drinks.

Hi, if you see this and in the #UK please vote for #mocktheweek in the national comedy awards and let the #BBC know they are idiots for cancelling it. https://www.thenationalcomedyawards.com/
@katrinbretscher this thread feels like a support group for people in our collective position. I don't drink alcohol, mainly by choice but, also because it just makes me ill. One of the worst responses I've had is that I " just haven't found the right drink" I have, it just doesn't have alcohol in it. The person who said that cannot comprehend how not being an alcoholic is a good thing.
Katrin Bretscher 💛💙Seasonal reminder: Alcohol is a completely legal drug that destroys lives, relationships and families. Don't make it hard for people who are trying to stay sober to enjoy festivities and functions.

@scrumble_eggs Pinky and Perky got there decades in advance
Pinky and Perky (TV Series 1957–1973) - IMDb
Pinky and Perky: Created by Jan Dalibor, Vlasta Dalibor. With Jan Dalibor, Vlasta Dalibor, John Slater, Stratford Johns. Two pigs run a TV station - but these ones are puppets. Most of the singing and dancing is done by other puppets, but they were joined by guest stars like Frank Sinatra , 'Tom Jones' and Harry Secombe , as well as The Beatles, (who were regularly parioed by the puppet bird group "The Beakles"). Not great entertainment, but then I'm not 5 years old anymore.
@damienowens "Did you keep the receipt" - also not popular.
