“Who is he? Who is he?” I removed my earphones just in time to realise my nan was talking to me, not recreating, albeit wrongly, a classic Big Brother moment. “Who is who?” “This Banksy. Who is he?” “An artist. Nobody knows who he is though.” “Someone must know who he is. Where does he … Continue reading Cromer’s Banksy
The door was closed. There was nothing I could do about it. Nothing legal at least. It didn’t mean I wasn’t miffed. The Oxford Bar is the pinnacle of unassuming boozers when seen from the outside. I was parched though. An unseasonably hot September day tag teaming with a hangover had given me a severe … Continue reading Book Locations

I just popped out for some … Continue reading Post-Covid Travel Anxiety
When did traffic lights transcend the traffic flow industry? Look around and they are everywhere. Highlighting the nutrients in the food that we eat, used as a sliding scale to determine how hot that Nando’s chicken we’re about to shove down our gullet is.
