Just stumbled across some adverts for home offices and cabins by mistake.

The wording of this one, off eBay amused me.



Now that would be a challenge for our post lady! "Could you just help me get it out of my (Tardis) van?

Or "Sorry - your portable holiday home has got lost in the post!"

"Sorry if we've b*gg*r*d your letter box."

Perfect staycation holiday in current circ's though?

Hoping to be chortling soon with the latest issue of Beano, just picked up at the Coop while buying some milk.
It's got an 8-page pull-out section for 'grown-ups'!

A WhatsApp message from a neighbour has alerted me to this astonishing headline.

People 'turn to custard and gravy' in the pandemic.

(From the new Private Eye, but taken from the BBC News website, according to the caption.)

(But perhaps a Pedants' Paradise retort would be that that would be odd only if 'into' had been used instead of just 'to'!)
It made me smile, though.

They've been watching the Sainsbury's Xmas ad then - or whichever Xmas ad is the one where the good old dad figure goes on about loving his gravy? Euphemisms running riot?

That there covid does strange things to a body to be sure... I share your smile although, as you say, the pedants would squash it.
