Oh my god! I opened this thinking "oh we had a pedal stool in the kitchen when I was little".

It was PEDESTAL my mum was saying pedestal for the tall stool in the kitchen. Makes so much sense now. Why did I not wonder why there were no pedals involved with that stool?

In the comedy The IT Crowd in one episode they made fun of someone who used the term pedal stool but she got her revenge when one of them used the term 'damp squid' instead of 'damp squib'.

I saw it too, really funny, we both know what she meant though don't we ;)

Someone local was selling Christmas tree ball balls.

Euston we have a problem, is one that I saw yesterday.

I saw someone on FB lamenting that their children would miss doing 'chuck a treat' at Halloween this year. Makes more sense than 'trickle treat', I suppose.

To be fair ‘chuck a treat’ works for 2m social distancing 😂
