Came across a nice review for The Couple In The Photo from an American reader along with a list of foods I’d mentioned that she had to look up. UK-specific refs usually get flagged by my US copy editor but clearly Ribena, cheesy mash, Quavers, malt loaf & poppodoms made the cut!

Read this job title in the wrong way at first 🤣. Tbf ‘patient’ should be in the title of lots of jobs as an adjective
