    Stayed there ourselves one night, near Bar Hill, and that was enough, when looking for somewhere to buy. Ended up just down the road.

    Well made goods at sensible prices is what I’ve always made, as do plenty of others.

    I thought some Doc Martin’s are still made in UK, but with a premium price of over £160 a pair

    But but but, she told me they were all made to the same exacting standards, only an idiot would pay more for the same thing.

    British made Dr Martens aren’t actually very good, they use much thinner leather than they used to, if you want original quality British made Doc’s, then buy Solovair’s instead.

    Most of the Earl de Grey has gone, just the front bit that they're saving that needs to be dismantled...

    My best mate lived in Milton outside Cambridge - had a few nights out in Cambridge. Not too bad.

    Stayed there a few times, and I've lost it now, but I had a couple of brochures taken from a stand run by some Sunday school type ladies, that sneered at the oik giggling and pointing at it.

    It was about days out on the river, and waxed lyrical about how it can be enjoyed by all the family, and they encourage to bring a picnic, and how you can do it yourself, or hire an experienced expert to teach you or to manage the long pole, which is all harmless enough, but the main strap line across the top was 'Enjoy being punted up the back reaches'.

    FFS, someone else giggle so I don't look like the only childish sod.

    There's no law against it, Dutch - and if you don't push back, it's not really gay. Allegedly.

    Be careful you will be offending and traumatising our non-binary,gender neutral and transitioning fans with homophobic words like gay.
