Speaking of sultanas, here across the Pond, there is the issue of the current. Currents, as found in Merry Old England, are banned over here.. So sultanas are sold and called currents but actually they are not true currents. It's something to do with the fact that if currents were allowed to be...

Well, here across the Pond on the old Carol Burnett Show, they do a skit with Tim Conway as Mr. Tudball (the boss) and Carol Burnett as his truly hapless secretary. And whether or not they based Mr. Tudball on Arkwright, he's comes pretty close! Time Conway does the stammer, penny pinching, and...

There are many things happening that we are not aware of. Ethanol, which is another way of speaking of plants (corn, palm oil, etc.), is being added to gasoline (petrol). This really does not sound too alarming but tons of plants are being used in this manner. So the plants instead of being in...
