Fleur @Ineeddentures That's what I can't get my head around. I used toilets like those when I visited places where those were the usual type. When people visit places where other types are usual, they should use those.

Fleur @Ineeddentures You could easily make your own, the pie filling was only the stuff that comes in big cans for catering. If you do, remember to post about it!

Yesterday evening there was a partial solar eclipse visible from the UK, the first since 2017 and the last until 2090. I missed the total eclipse in 1999 as I had moved to the US, and I probably won’t be here to see the 2090...

Fleur It doesn't last long. Personally I prefer watching a lunar eclipse, they are far more frequent as well.

Fleur @Ineeddentures I don't know why they were called that, but a jubilee pancake consisted of a thickish pancake folded over, filled with cherry pie filling and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
