Am reminded once more of the need for a “No Stinking” compartment on public transport. FFS have a pee BEFORE you go out…
Furious to have been spammed by the Tory party *again*. I see they’re rebranding; there’s a lot of green in their new logo. Don’t be fooled.

Too late to get free t-shirt at new Apple store in Brighton.
