That, Aldi Stores UK, would be a sausage roll (Plain English Campaign). For the unitiated, a sausage roll can be a delicious lunchtime treat probably recommended by Kemi Badenoch as it's mist definitely not a soggy sandwich.

Just had a debate regarding the correct pronunciation of '#Shrewsbury'. I think I'm correct as my thoughts tally with the lyrics of #Blue by Alison Moyet.

Today's random fact: Reading up on Greenland/US situation, I discovered that 1990s Eurocars racer, Lars-Christian Brask is now a Danish MP. Team Brask was also responsible for one of my favourite childhood posters.

Been rereading my forgotten copy of the Graham Hill Grand Prix book. Some grest pictures (can't go wrong with a Theo Page cutaway drawing), and I did like the anecdote of Damon Hill being limited to 30 minutes TV viewing a day.

Have this poster above my desk. To the various successes by drivers, one can also add another Indy 500 polesitter. 2018 Euro F3 was a strong generation PREMA Robert Shwartzman Marcus Simm

Reported a stolen bag from an CrossCountry Trains train Birmingham New Street. Staff said "ok", turned away and found something else to do. Recovered bag by leaping off train, retrieving it from it's new 'owner' and jumping back on before departure - but very poor organisation/priorities.

Not sure that I'm impressed by Autosport using race reports written by employees of the relevant organising club (in this case, 750MC's communications manager). Doesn't feel like particularly impartial reporting.

Received my F3000 book by James Newbold (seen here alongside another good Evro Publishing gem). Only a couple of chapters in (only got it yesterday afternoon), but so far very happy - lots and lots of interesting quotes from a wide spectrum of people, great pictures and stats.

Kudos to Hornby for this well-priced TT set. However, the track is odd. I think that swapping the 3rd radius curves for 1st would mean a point could have be included for a similar price giving more play value, needing less space and allows for future upgrades. Budget Model Railway

Excellent GB3 Championship calendar; and one can't help but be happy that we have such a championship in Britain (although as a minor cavil, I'm not a great fan of big gaps between penultimate and final rounds of a championship).

Have to say that until recently, I've not been familiar with Hamish Shackleton Bailey. However, with insights like the attached on The Race, this will soon change. the-race.com/formula-1/osca…
