    Earlier this morning, I heard on the radio that the Tory council of an English seaside town painted the town centre... blue and red!  So, I googled it.  Red?  Not quite.

    I popped to the shops this morning and was amazed at the number of teenagers I saw going in and out of the vape shop, which is next to a betting shop, which is next to a phone shop.  Everything that teenagers need...

    Naturally, not a policeman in sight.  Actually, I've almost forgotten what a policeman looks like.

    You need American sweet shops too.  (You find them all along Oxford Street.)  Progress...

    You're not the only one, I fear.

    Which? has carried out a vanilla ice cream taste test.  Here are their findings:

    I'm just back from my Pilates class, feeling as...fit as they come and as puzzled as they come. 

    Every week, after class, 4 of us go for coffee to a little shop nearby, which, on the ground level has a small supermarket section.  One of the friends is from South Asia and often tells interesting stories of her life and family there.

    Today, she told us that she and her husband will be going to Portugal next week to visit her husband's brother, who's a chef there.

    When her husband came to pick her up, as usual, she decided to get a couple of things from the supermarket.  During her absence, her husband told us he was looking forward to the trip but not as much as his wife, as she hadn't seen her brother for some years.  Being a chef meant that her brother was moving from country to country quite a bit.

    We, ladies, looked at each other somewhat confused.  Whose brother was the cheffing man?  Is being a chef in some countries a lowly job? 

    Who was telling the truth?  Surely, not both of them.  Strange world!

    I can see why you feel puzzled.  Both of them can't be telling the  truth.  I imagine, though I have no evidence for it, it's the lady who's fibbing.
    In India, even today, apparently your class/caste matters enormously; so, it may be related to that.  You and I will never know.
