Young_Marxist_at_Tescos Lancashire CC have got a player called Jack Blatherwick. If that’s not a case for The Bureau of Northern Cliches, I’ve never seen one.
Young_Marxist_at_Tescos Absolutely staggered to just discover that diesel was invented by a bloke called Rudolf Diesel. Never gave it any previous thought. Obviously a really smart bloke. Died under very mysterious circumstances.
