I have a cheese grater in the dishwasher.
I was joking when I mentioned pie and mash, but it was because burtabraham was keen on saying his culture had been stolen but couldn’t give specifics so I fell back on facetiousness.

The Corries, who were never off the telly in Scotland in the early 70s, used to do it. We had theirs and the Luke Kelly version in our house.I’ve just been looking this up and listening to various versions; I never realised it was so well known; used to sing it with a friend at school
Yeah, I’ve only thought of it as a girls or women’s song rather than a man’s song, funny either way of course. I remember using it as the background song in Miss Julie in something at college, maybe not very well thought out
Lovely to be reminded of it thank you, I’ve been in a bit of a folk music bubble for the last hour

Apparently it was an actual different language though called 'Latin' or something, so it seems they didnt use English at all believe it or not! All a bit above my head tbf

To be fair he did say the alphabet not the language.
Although (as you probably know) ours in not strictly the roman one and the Romans don't have ownership on the letter forms which are.... Phoenician I think?

If we were really committed to the premise of cultural preservation we should be writing all this in oghams (though even that will have been a development from something before). Or to really keep it trad brit, not writing at all and just singing to each other through the mist.

It's true, burtabraham is a wrong un.
Unfortunately, and ironically, we have a fair few far right migrants over here. Not that he's left the UK, he's never set foot in the country.

Well at least you tagged me whilst speaking about me. I won’t take the bait though. Have a nice evening.

Indian-born CEO of Japanese company says nation needs immigration to thrive
Japan has very few foreign-born CEOs, and boardrooms are overwhelmingly male.
Not all of us migrants are aiming for the boss culture but still, it's certainly one obvious solution to the decline in population.
The population is aging and projected to drop by almost a third in the next 50 years, and firms are already having problems filling vacancies.
Although it has relaxed the rules in recent years, Japan has not turned in a big way to immigration as a solution.
