    Onlyfans. Being an "influencer" for a living

    Monetising being thick on TV.

    £6.00 at Brands Hatch on Saturday, the food kiosk wasn't busy.

    Looked at a baseball cap in case the sun came out, a mere £48.00. I tied a knotted hankie instead. Classy!

    The raising of television presenters/actors to the status of “super stars”, whose merest utterings instantly make the headlines to titillate the masses!

    This post could equally appear under “General things that annoy you”!

    Cheese & Onion flavour crisps that have blue packets rather than green. Totally weird.

    Agreed.  Also the lack of beef and mustard flavour these days is disturbing.
