/ but more pain, austerity and suffering, and you think they will help now? No. We cannot be friends. Not until you learn and grow and change. Stop blaming the weak, punching down, and look above you. The answer for what's wrong is right in front of you, and you keep voting for it. 🦃🎄🔪

/ desperate people in small boats are the reason you can't afford your groceries - if you believe that, you're either heartlessly myopic or foolishly gullible, likely both. So, no. If you think Reform is the answer, the same people that sold you the lies of Brexit, which has given us nothing /

I feel like I'm having to do this constantly. It's a bit annoying.

I'd rather my phone just said "no signal" rather than pretend it's got one.

I should add, for context, the machine is A rated for energy efficiency, which is why it takes such a long time - apparently that's more energy efficient overall.

I like my men like I like my washing machine... Quick and efficient

That's so fast! Why is mine taking nearly 4 hours!? 😭
