I realise you're just reproducing it, but that's a truly bizarre graph. What does a negative percentage for York mean? And if it's a score out of 100 for cleanliness, why is it a %? Not clear if it means n/100 toilets are dirty (or clean) or an overall score of the whole service out of 100.

At the moment, Mon-Fri I don't have a car. I get shopping delivered (surely more efficient to have one van than a lot of different cars) and otherwise pick up stuff on my bike.

At a wider level 90% of the BBC's "stuff" is not the shit domestic newscasting, and it'll be that stuff - the Proms, coverage of regional music and events, BBC Africa, the World Service, choirs and orchestras - that will go first

Interesting, when I just heard staff charge £25 per hour for a meeting pod at the Westgate Library.

Also, if you didn't know, it's politer to just let people who stutter speak than try to finish their words for them. Again, because it isn't necessarily that they are anxious talking!

I find this stuff absolutely fascinating, as someone with a (mild) lisp who has to listen to herself in recordings a lot for work and music. Voices are such a core part of our identity (why people hate knowing they sound different to other people).

Enchaplaining. But yes, I can see that it's tricky!

Interesting. I wonder if there's a link between vivid dreams in general and better sleep - I (currently) am pretty good at sleeping and I almost always have very vivid and memorable dreams.

Plus, what kinds of numbers are we talking about? It's a pretty niche shop. If you're talking about 10 people instead of 20 on one day you'd think even small things like a spell of bad weather might do that.

Yes (gas hob).

It's by Christopher Priest, but not the Christopher Priest who writes comics.

Really Christopher Nolan at his best, in my opinion. The book is also fantastic in a really different way!

I am also on Storygraph! app.thestorygraph.com/profile/kast...

Yeah. I mean, 24 hours would be £44 so that probably puts people off without needing anything else.

Yes, you need to pay the congestion charge to drive to the Westgate (unless you have a permit or exemption). www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/transport-an...
It looks like you can pay for up to 24hrs of parking (scroll past the park and ride prices). www.westgateoxford.co.uk/en/plan-my-v...

Interesting, it seems squishier than I would like. But each to their own I guess.

Is it a real pickle? The texture when she bit it looks like gummy candy to me. But who knows?
