"Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations,..."

We have twin-wall stainless mugs for everyday use. They bounce when you drop them, don't mind being next to the grinder and stay hot for twenty minutes or so - longer if you put something on top.

You can all guess what I read that as.

And as for it being in England - I'm in England and have two kids not long out of nursery age and I've a) not met it in person and b) not actually met anyone else who has had direct experience of revised language being used /at ground level/.

I presume one has staff to clean ones fire and keep it fed.

I liked the Focus Tube - the last one.
