Chiefly British

Funny anecdote from my dad. He says that when he was a young man working on building sites, they used to brew tea outside of the hut on a fire. And the men would throw a matchstick on top of the tea because they reckoned it stopped the smoke going in the tea. The head was taken off the match. Sounds very strange if you ask me.

The pigeon fancier thought the injured bird had probably hit a wire.

@peemee I think for some people it’s the opposite.

You can always count on BMW to make an ugly car.

@matigo News to me. I suppose I ought to try it then. I'm not into insects but impressionistic portrayals of flowers can be nice.
