As is always the case, the Mince Pie Thread reveals deep truths. Seemingly, @Coco has suffered a psychic split sufficient to activate an inner Trump. Meanwhile, @Wayward is either (A) pissed or (B) high as fuck on nail-varnish remover.
Devon sends minimal regards and inappropriate man-hugs.
I need new glasses.

Bigly, you missed out bligley.
Pate is many things (tho’ admittedly 98% of those things are various synonyms for ‘absolutely fucking disgusting’) - but something that is such a full frontal assault on all that is decent, such an antithetical abomination of a victual, such a sub-barrel benchmark of profound human degradation and depravity, such a god-murdering profanity screamed into the terrified face of ‘Cuisine’… such a Thing as it is: it can never be boring.
To that extent - and that alone - I must defend it.
I do, somewhat, accept the need to up my game. I’ve had my eye on a freeze dryer that will enable the next phase of culinary evolution: ‘powdered snortables’.
You want roast dinner? Get that up your hooter. Trifle? Hover this. Mostly this is nonsense, but I am hankering after the potential to write “claggy nose-feel.”

Clearly, your sense of direction/memory of geography lessons has already been affected. I’m quite a way south west of that mind melting blob, in the clear bit. 
Haha, I read that as Random map of Great Britain
And thought that would be ideal to illustrate any point in any thread here!

Yeah, I mean, just look at it!
Oh dear there’s brain farting in the pie thread again.
If we’re comparing environmental hazards, Plymouth only looks scary until you realise its main environmental issue (radon) is easy to test and fix. Devon and Cornwall have some of the UK’s higher-radon zones, yes, but it’s very house-specific (Mostly on or near a shit ton of granite) it’s usually sorted with a cheap mitigation system.
Meanwhile…
Kent’s big headache isn’t radon —it’s air pollution. Kent & Medway’s own air-quality partnership states that air pollution (NO₂ and particulate matter) is a continuing public-health issue in the region, particularly around busy roads and urban centres.
And then we get to Luton, where the joke kind of writes itself.
Luton doesn’t have Plymouth’s radon problem because it has something far more ‘improved’:
air driven pollution and PFAS “forever chemicals” detected in groundwater around Luton Airport at levels thousands of times above proposed EU safety thresholds.
Local monitoring also shows long-term NO₂/PM pollution from traffic and airport activity remains a notable health burden, with an estimated 1 in 20 deaths linked to particulate pollution.
So what’s the scores on the doors?
Plymouth/Devon: radon hotspot, but easy to measure and fix.
Kent: pollution + patchy water/soil issues.
Luton: chronic pollution + the PFAS situation.
If anything, once you test your house for radon, Plymouth comes out looking like the least hazardous of the three.
Happy Wednesday…
