@jonhendry I'd say that depends on how you define the "core customers" of LockMart doesn't it?
So is someone at the Telegraph going to get arrested soon?
@Popehat Can you start a RICO case against a former co-blogger?
@Popehat but if I drink that much the voice just starts shouting louder and I end up agreeing.

Some of the gems...

Phishing Scammer or One of Your Parents?

Eli Burstein jokes about the similarities and differences between absurd e-mails from parents and phishers or scammers.

@Popehat go to a kebab shop where the guy behind the counter calls you boss... It's a joke from the CasualUK subreddit about what authentic things a Brit should show a friend visiting from the USA

https://old.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/1185toq/how_do_i_give_an_american_the_most_authentic_uk/

There are some absolutely great suggestions there, have a read.

IMO You absolutely have to go to borough market and get a sausage roll from the Ginger Pig and your life will be changed for so much the better.

Also go hit up Pelliccis for a full english breakfast with the family if you're nearby, Four Seasons chinese restaurant in Chinatown for crispy duck to die for and Maison Bertaux for patisseries that are simply heavenly.

Museum of London, Docklands. The main Museum of London at Barbican is great, but the one in Docklands gives you a great history of London from being a trading port, through the slave trade, decline, war and rebirth. It's pretty heavy going though as a warning especially the slave trade stuff.

How do I give an American the most authentic UK experience?

Later this year a friend from America might be coming over to visit, and I want to give them a true flavour of the UK instead of all the touristy...

@Popehat it's a shame you left, that mob mentality is toxic and so is the entitlement behind it. I'm sorry you had to leave.
