Buses and cars caught in a traffic jam at Bury Place, London, in 1952.

66 goals in 10 matches on one day, a record surely?

My partner bought a traditional Christmas pudding for us online, it seemed like a good idea. We had 8 people to feed on Christmas day, just add custard and enjoy the advert said. It was $38 (£20) but surely was going to be worth the investment. #Xmas 2023 #Xmas #ChristmasDinner
