Highly Partridgian. Ramblings on whatever. Urbanism, transport, finance, politics.
Kudos for the Miller’s Toast, the pinnacle of cheese biscuits

We’re very good at arriving at the same outcomes here in the UK. The lack of vision from policy makers is exhausting. HS2 is a prime example over here

You’ve captured it pretty well in these pics - for me it was the fact it was the cradle that birthed the industrial revolution, that spirit of discovery still pervades the place. Like your kid I went to uni in manny and had the time of my life. Ive moved now but damn i would love to live there again

Haha exactly. He’s almost as sanctimonious as Corbyn

What a prickly and bitter interview this is. Clegg’s a patronising and brittle man who can’t stand to be held to account

I know that. I’m British. My question is, rather, is there a specific etymological reason for gob shite or gob smack? Is there something in the act of gob verb?

Often wondered what the etymology of this was
