@Fawny love the name!!

@Fawny beautiful greyhound!! 😊

@erinwhalen I was hoping you were going to say that! New Hope was my first and favourite; endless rewatches on VHS whilst growing up. We actually had New Hope and Return of the Jedi on VHS but not Empire Strikes Back for a long time, so the big reveal in Empire when I eventually saw it wasn’t much of a surprise to me!! 😊

@erinwhalen original Star Wars, or all the movies?? 😊

@klewlis I’m afraid I can’t offer any explanation for that TV show, it’s as mystifying to me in both concept and execution as it seems to be to you! However, it’s popular and people watch it so they keep making more.

@klewlis Best of luck with the half marathon, you’ll smash it!!
Southend is in the south east of England, not far from London. It’s a seaside resort with funfairs and a pier that’s a mile long!!

@JayRayner
An automatically added service charge on your bill that you would need a level of belligerence that no British person could ever muster to request to be removed = No.
Enjoying the food and/or service, and voluntarily asking for an extra amount to be added to your bill to reward the staff for a job well done = Yes.
