Just heard a traffic report on the wireless with the unbelievable line "[...] people slowing down to look at Luton."
I kid ye not!

It's a traffic accident.

I thought Luton was described as a trainwreck.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Living across a vast body of water (and glad of it, as you must be, too) I don't know much about Luton.
From this and previous allusions, it would appear to be a uniquely English form of buggery ?

That's no radioactivity, it's the reflection from all the sun beds.

Apparently, that's why people go to Salisbury Train Station, too.

You're in Woking so you misheard the line was probably "People slowing down to look at looting".

I am on the South North side of the canal, that makes us posh dunnit.
Big oops. I get confused sometimes, I live in Horsell [which is North of Woking] but off South Road. I have had a life long brain fart over this, that because it's called South Road [it runs South West into the village] it is on the South side. One day, probably by the time I'm 143, I'll remember that Horsell [the posh bit what HGW wrote about] is to the North of the bomb site.

At the weekend Mrs Wife saw a pair of earrings. She liked the earrings. I bought the earrings.
That is my Christmas shopping finished for the year. I think you'll agree being done by mid-September allows me a certain amount of smugness.

Oh dear. She really got you, didn't she. Hook, ring, and dangly bit.
Keep a record of how many times she says "much nicer than those earrings we saw" between now and mid-December.

No, she's pretty fussy about jewelry and when she decides she likes a piece it is unlikely she'll want something different. Every year I try to get her a new piece for Christmas and she knows this. As a result she looks at a lot of stuff, normally without me, and knows what to expect for my money.
Yellow and white diamonds on a square white gold mount. Very pleasing to the eye and not too painful on the wallet. Painful, but not as bad as it could be.

Clothes for children?

Too right! We feed the blighters and let them inside occasionally, why the hell would I want to spend good gin credits on clothes as well?

A man after my own heart.
I raised mine over chicken-wire. Saved a fortune in bathroom tissue.

I might complain about the price, but not about buying.
