    Often it's not that the food is bad - a part of end-of-life is the digestive system packing in so eating becomes painful, and appetite evaporates. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/end-of-life-care/your-wellbeing/changes-in-the-last-hours-and-days/

    Happy Birthday John Tinniswood, 112 today, oldest in the UK (and the world!). No doubt he'll be out on a bender with the lads tonight to celebrate.

    Maria Branyas was born in the USA so technically American. Maybe she will move back to spend her retirement years in Florida or something.

    This is straight out of a 'Derek and Clive' skit. https://derekandclive.uk/come-again/back-of-the-cab/ Derek: Yeah, well I had the same experience. I, er, opened the cab door for somebody who hailed me on the corner… Clive: Who was that? “Hailed” you? Derek: Richard Wagner. Clive: Richard Wagner? Derek: Yeah. Clive: But he’s been dead two hundred years.
