Tariffs are having a really bad effect on China. I haven't had a Chinese meal for ages, but I drove back from Kirkbymoorside this afternoon and, after unpacking, CBA to cook, so went to the local takeaway. £7.90 for chicken fried rice. Kinnell!

Ah you are back in god’s own country!

Have you been to Rosedale , down the chimney and had refreshments in the village before visiting Hutton le hole? I am almost home sick!

I love the little church in Rosedale Abbey, always put a few bob in the box.
The only chippy in Kirkbymoorside, the Lemon Tree, has closed  :(

It might have been pigeon fried rice.  :)

A Chinese Restaurant in Madrid has been busted passing off pigeon as duck. Apparently they were catching the pigeons in the street and killing them in the kitchen.  ::)

I suppose Peking Pigeon doesn't sound quite the same.  ;D

Speaking of rats the the size of cats in Birmingham.....

We found a whopper dead in the barn. So big I actually measured it. Eleven inches of body and nine inches of tail when pulled straight.

20 inches in total. :y

So Trumpy posts "This is a great time to buy!!! DJT" yesterday after the market closed on a 10% rally, and he's getting accusations of insider trading from unhinged Democrats?  ;D

Incidentally, the S&P is down 2.69%, the Dow is down 2.13% and the Nasdaq is down 3.14%. So yes it was a great time to buy!  ::)  ;D

No, that would be cruel.

In Trump Tower there is a souvenir shop, selling teddy bears with MAGA hats, etc. Be prepared to pay 125% more for them, they are all made in China  :)
