That could be the problem, I mixed sugar afterwards and ended up with a mud of suspended grounds that would not settle.

More than a fifth of UK adults not looking for work
I'm a bit puzzled by "working age" being classed as 16-64. Is that an admission that a very large proportion of those between 64 and the state pension age (66 increasing to 68) are actually unable to continue in employment?

This is the way
If you know whose round it is you can be passive aggressive and gain virtue points by asking "is it my round?".

Digital driving licences to be ‘put on phones this year’
I hope they allow non driving ID to be registered on the app for all proof of ID purposes. I have a niece who cannot get a driving license due to epilepsy and if they are going to expect digital ID for a lot of services it would be difficult if she could not use it.

Why do British people have such a dim view of Automatic cars?
Traditionally automatics were much less efficient, giving a significant power loss and substantially worse MPG. In the UK with smaller cars with smaller engines and expensive petrol this was a much bigger disadvantage than in the USA.
However modern automatic gears have improved so it's not longer a big disadvantage.

Anyone else cracked and put the heating on?
I don't turn mine on, it's set to come on when the indoor temperature drops below 17.5⁰ C in dayrime. It's been coming on some mornings for a couple of weeks, and one day when it was particularly cold it came on a couple of times in the day too. I do live in the North of England, further north than parts of Scotland though.

There are a lot worse things they spend money on, like some churches installing an extra bell so they can play longer rounds!
