Actually in modern usage that should be the “Lima” flag - diagonally opposed yellow/black quarters. The “yellow jack” has now reversed it’s meaning, and means “my vessel is healthy”. Just sayin’ …

No idea - but eating raw - indeed live - octopus is a thing in parts of Asia

It’s both surprising and depressing how little isn’t, tbh
No, and it is bugging the bejayzus out of me. Rump steak + seafood salad for the girlfriend become ‘a burnt bull’s bottom for me and a raw octopus for my grandmother’.
What could it have been? Language course? Unlikely. Prob financial services - ‘we can’t do anything about the language side of things but other than that, we are reliable when abroad is being bloody and foreigners fiends’.

Well, now it’s bugging the bejaysus out of me, Gus. Do let us know when enlightenment strikes 
I’m off to read - a light little number: ‘Gulag’.

I did a bit of shopping after I had been for the mammogram, so had a very late Lunch anna Flump.
I will rouse myself to send a very strongly worded Email to Tesco -
Tiny Tesco are back to offering baked goods on open shelves.
We had clear plastic boxes & bags after I last complained, but apparently ‘they can’t afford them now.’
This is what our Manager was told…
Effing Disgraceful, & the charges get passed on to us anyway

Five minutes of blessed (and unheralded) rain, with distant thunder.
Coming down absolutely vertically, mind, but better than nothing. At least while it was happening. Now everything is soggy, including the air.

So itizz. Lidl is the same. I’d despair, if I thought it would do Any Good.
Well done on coping with the mammogram

Our Lidl had plastic boxes and tongs to pick things up with, last time I was in there – in the days PC.

In fairness, maybe the goods were in plastic boxes, Fishers, but they were open to the air. I think that I have turned into an über-fussy-bee.

Tiny Tesco has an assortment of grubby- looking tongs ‘attached’ to the counter. The baked goods are in a busy aisle, far from the tills.
Anyone shopping for coffee or eggs, or to get to the 'fridges has to go past them
Yuk
