We Brits (I include myself in this category, despite my Dutch heritage) are a really dour and shabby lot when it comes to dressing for inclement weather. I went into Tesco yesterday and virtually everyone was wearing some ill-fitting, drab grey, black, navy blue or shit brown. Go to continental Europe, and Scandinavia in particular, and everyone is lit up in reds, blues, whites - all manner of brighter colours.
Footwear is another area where we Brits are somewhat shoddy in our appearance. The ubiquitous trainer seems to be the standard dress code. We seem unhindered by and bereft of any semblance of chic or style in the winter months.

Saw an article in yesterday's Sunday Times castigating makers of vape flavours for targeting kids with sweet flavourinhs. Hang on - adults like sweets too! Are vanilla, caramel and chocolate flavoured coffee pods specifically targeted at kids? Do they have to make flavours kids specifically hate, such as spinach, red wine or cabbage? Kids like air too and air is a key component of an e-cigarette - should air be banned?
Did you know that identical twins do not have identical fingerprints? I looked it up yesterday and was quite surprised.
