@WarnerCrocker my daughter went to a UK church school and even they don't do this. Honestly America is wild. Just weird

#3GoodThings @3goodthings

Daughter and her bf popped round to give me my birthday presents. The presents are VERY cool and include dinosaur string lights for my office.

Daughter confirmed she and her bf are spending Christmas eve and Christmas day here. So we'll be cooking together which is lovely.

I had mince pies for breakfast

Sheesh, must women do everything round here 🙄😉😁

The very point of the game.

Savoury pie culture seems to be British and Australian thing mostly. I don't see America or Europe full of savoury pastry goodness. How's the African continent on pies? Asia, any pies where you are?

Tell me your favourite savoury pastry, I'm a huge fan of a bacon and cheese plait, or a corned beef pasty.

@sheepnik amen. I do wish I don't have people I really like there because I'd love to block it.

Actually @FediTips can you block and instance but keep the people you already follow from there?

@CaptainJanegay I'd love if the anti car tooters (and Twitters and Facebookers) all became pro public transport instead, and talked about accessibility as a use for cars.
But everything is always so definite, "cars bad", no room for any margin around use

And I do use public transport when I can. But not everyone can. It doesn't take much just to acknowledge that.

For example. When I go to London now for work, I drive. I used to get the train and travel across London via the underground or buses, but my disability has got worse and all the different changes and walking between them and flights of stairs and escalators now make this impossible.

As a disabled person I can't lie, I'm getting slightly ticked off about all the "stop using the car" messages that ignore people who wouldn't be able to travel at all without their car.

@Jyoti I must say I use WOB a lot now. And indie book stores https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/pages/about-us

Vaccinated. I was very brave but I didn't even get a sticker!
