Why is that whenever I try to buy a Greggs sausage roll I get asked if I want 'pork'? If I want a fake vegan roll, which isn't sausage, I'd bloody well ask for one!!

Do I remember right, did Helena start off by saying she was looking for a man to settle down with? Does she not know her behaviour is mistress (town bike) not wife behaviour? #loveislanduk
Love how Emily says she talks too much and needs to let Conor speak, then she continues to keep talking the same shite anyway so he cant get a word in #LoveIslandUK

I've been out Christmas shopping today. Whilst it was very busy, people were friendly, happy, chatting to strangers in queues and helping the elderly find items they were looking for. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, to my surprise. @AgeFriendlyYork @YopaYork @AgeUKYork

Why is it when I park in an almost empty car park, in the opposite corner to the only other car, does the next car to come in park right alongside me? #herdinstinct
