The toasters! The one that looks like a Pikachu-Modok hybrid! Also the one right after that, that looks like one of my mum’s ancient teapots ❤️

Another triumph for brevity and value! Loved the survey of accents put me in mind of Coogan, Brydon and Caine - together at last! Link: https://youtu.be/BeC0-tj_IMA?si=hmGaPSFOlXJjLPvU which I discovered yesterday. Toasters a similar delight! Like the blog about staplers I found the other month!

Lev thanks for corralling all these gems. Tim in Wilts

Thanks Tim! I'd never seen that Caine/Caine/Caine clip (although very much enjoyed The Trip)

Oh that swallow piece! Maybe reforming the prison service should include bird boxes with nest cams as standard.

Lev - re the trees at first glance it seems that the Lea Valley is one of the blank areas for some reason.

Where would we without toast!

I think it's because not all councils have released their data. And yes, toast. Mmmm.

The toaster museum! I would go there. I went to an espresso caffettera museum last year. I get it.
