For years Bristol had fireworks on the downs. The official area cost a fortune for entry and extra for funfair rides etc whilst 20k people would always hang around outside for free. There was an accident in 2007 and the BBC report seemed uncaring saying "the victims were outside the official area"

Being vegan I though the article might be interesting, but when the best overall (5⭐) is cheaper than the best bargain (3⭐) is that really a bargain if more expensive and tastes worse?

Nostalgia (Reform vote?) seems to make people want to bring back factories, but just not for themselves

People seem to feel nostalgic for factory work etc. without a true idea of where we actually are with economic development.
