Good questions, @heidistephens, and not really, no
Supposed “perfect property” is two miles from supermarket, 10 miles from beach and walking distance to pub
But what if you fancy a Big Mac?
MC men leave cafetieres and “difficult” washing up objects un-dealt with in the sink
So they do, @Penandspoon; this is worthy of some investigation
Homemade cheese is apparently the next foodie trend
Enough
Buying something in John Lewis but using a Poundland bag, as @whoismatthew did
How achingly now
Middlesborough primary school bans northern phrases such as “nowt” and “yous”
MCs are nervously saying nowt about this
Motorway sign spotted by @babelmonk: “Take your litter home, other people do”
Marvellously passive aggressive
Harris & Hoole “artisan” coffee shop controlled by Tesco
Freaking us all out big time
Confidently showing used train/bus tickets
As @DrZeds says: a great sport alas now largely spoiled by technology

Leave the cafetiere in the sink. If he wants another cup of coffee, he'll have to wash it. Make your own coffee in a jug. Or buy your own cafetiere.
'Nowt' is actually spelt 'nought' and is a perfectly acceptable word.
