I used to drink Yorkshire tea but someone introduced me to Twinings strong english breakfast and I've been a convert ever since. Noticeably better than any other non-loose tea you can find in the supermarket IMO!

This YouGov poll from 2021 is quite interesting - 70% of respondents say they are proud to be an American. No breakdown by race but the income distribution wasn't what I expected, 54% of those earning under $40k said they were very proud.

Not sure that is true. I don't think the claim originated from any actual use of kitty litter in schools, it's just a random urban legend. Using it as ballast makes no sense in any case - sand would be cheaper and would take up less space.

The UK highway code was updated recently to include a "hierarchy of road users" which states that:
"...those in charge of vehicles that can cause the greatest harm in the event of a collision bear the greatest responsibility to take care and reduce the danger they pose to others."
