Yesterday I was informed that in most of England when spoken good and food don't rhyme but door and poor do. I'm now confused as to whether it's good or food that rhyme with wood and can't comprehend that poor apparently rhymes with pour.

Has anyone else learned anything vaguely interesting in the last few days?

If poor rhymes with pour, then is it just being pronounced as "pour"?

It's not something I've noticed yet to be honest!

Good rhymes with wood

Food rhymes with dude

Aha that made me laugh!

I have had a number of complaints about how my WFH has interrupted her ‘routine’...quite how me being camped in the study for 8 hours a day interrupts anything has not been clarified but it’s defo a thing as it’s been mentioned once or twice!! [emoji23]

I never realised how much I needed a "man cave" until I set this one up, it will remain in service long after corona virus has left us :greengrin

In fact there will be an ongoing update of spec and furniture, equipment as each month passes.

Virtual pub nights over video chat are cheaper, more convenient and almost as enjoyable as heading down the pub.

There's going to be some bust-ups before this lot's over, I'll be bound.

Sadly domestic violence is expected to increase hugely.

I discovered how the mere chime of the Xbox powering up is enough to instigate a request for a ton of jobs to be done.

Some Supermarkets won't let you buy more than three tins of beans at once, but you can buy one four pack....

Or 3 4 packs and have 12 tins instead of 3!
