UK Government Announcement:

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the government has raised the UK threat level from "miffed" to "peeved". Should the crisis continue, the government will consider raising the threat level yet again to "irritated" or even, "a bit cross".

Re face masks:

If you are a regular user of solariums and forget to remove your face mask you could come out looking like a chimpanzee.

One thing about these times is that it means all sorts of new people are being exposed to our hobby, and maybe this means future increases in enthusiast volume.

Hi folks ,

If your going to use this thread as a proxy for expressing your political opinions it will be shut.

This strictly applies to our American members and any American based political content. In all the years iv been doing this job iv spent many hours dealing with Americans and their hurt feelings , not one second have I spent dealing with any other nationalities in this regard. Believe me we've had content posted regarding UK , European and world politics that was just as partisan and potentially provocative.

i will leave you all to consider why this is.

What is it about American coffee? As an Italian, coffee for me is taken in small cups, 50ml (2oz in old money) at most, not in a bucket as I see most Americans drinking coffee. Also, no milk. Milk is for cows or making cheese, not for adults to drink, especially not in coffee. Sugar is optional, although I don't put any in my coffee (or tea).

Filter coffee is fine if made and drunk immediately, not left seething on a hotplate for hours as in most US offices I've been in. Furthermore, if you're making filter coffee, use a decent amount, if you can see through the coffee, you didn't use enough!

Finally, the very idea of buying a bucket of coffee, then drinking it in a car over a few hours is totally nasty. Coffee should be made and drunk within seconds or minutes at most.

There, I should have upset enough people by now, so rant over!
