I have something to say about the garlic press. It’s inefficient, wasteful and a ballache to clean up. Creates more mess and trouble than it saves under the guise of being quicker and easier. It’s duplicitous and it’s been getting away with it for too long.

2,000-year-old face cream from Roman times with ancient finger marks in the lid. Found in London.
"The main constituent of the cream was animal fat mixed with starch and tin oxide (...) the archaeologists who uncovered it say that it appears to have been deliberately hidden."

Perhaps the Mail On Sunday could publish a guide to what professional footballers are permitted to spend their money on without attracting negative attention?
It may be that we need separate categories according to ethnicity and/or propensity to repeatedly shame the government.

It strikes me that on some level, whether conscious or not, all of us are traumatised by the fact of having to participate in an economy where most humans, and most living ecosystems, are exploited so that a few can accumulate extraordinary wealth.
