The things that you take for granted when you shop in Australia - find Betadine throat gargle great for fighting off the lurgy but no equivalent that I can find in the UK

Ive already got 3 of these packed for Tues flight - fantastic product, never travel without

We arrive in the UK on Wed 30th if you want me to mail you some when we arrive to a UK address? We're arriving Manchester but first two nights will be in Liverpool

I am reliably informed by MrMac - (a golfer for 60 years) that once he starts to play badly it's a sign that he needs another club or a new putter. He's been trying to buy his way out of trouble for many many years

I thought so too but I was mistaken badly.

I've been struggling with Taylormade M1 driver for 8 years. Tried out 2 drivers in 2 different shops here and bought Cleveland Launcher II. Driver lasted 4 games in Thailand before cracking but even before then it was nothing special.

Used the M1 driver for last 4 games and it was OK. Also started putting cross handed again and putting slightly improved.

There are more stories but basically it's all in the mind.

When I moved to Switzerland, I quickly realised there's no such thing as self-raising flour over there (in fact, there isn't any in much of the world).

A quick Internet search and an expat forum thankfully revealed it's just regular (plain / all-purpose) flour with baking powder (sold by the tiny packet).

self-raising flour

Its widely available in the English speaking world - except that the USA has Salt in addition to the Raising agents (bicarb soda, and other sodium phosphates ) in their self raising flour.

WCMO - no Speedy crossword on the Guardian website today - no idea why.

When I went to do Wordle this morning it was still showing the 26th and that I'd done - luckily it's refreshed now

WCMO: Upcoming CX flight changes (not sure when) from 1:2:1 J to coughty regional 2:2:2 without warning. By chance just noticed and double whammy, the flight was empty and now all but full. SYD+1 and I are on seperate tix and seperate rows… No options to move…

Fortunately it’s a relatively short “day flight” to PEK.
