all unmarked swans in open water belong to the King, but the right is enforced on some stretched of the Thames only.
(Sorry, I'm a nerd).

I photographed it in Windsor, it's fine.
That's OK, then. 🦢
my lock screen is a picture of a swan. I assume I now can't buy anything?
Behind a plant pot, too. Maximum hassle, you're not riding that bike anywhere, are you?
You can make mayonnaise cake, can't see why you can't make mayonnaise bread.
Why would I holiday in a failed state that makes me submit all my social media for scrutiny in order to get an ESTA? Plus, I might get arbitrarily detained or shot.
I don't use the Discover feed, there be dragons. 😁
And it's not like we have a uniform "culture", either. I live in London, I'm not learning Highland dancing.
That innocent face could never do crimes.
It's none of his business and he can get knotted, frankly.
Ugh, I'm sorry.
And if everyone who can is walking, wheeling, cycling or taking public transport, necessary vehicle journeys for those who can't will be quicker and easier. Not to mention ambulances won't get stuck in traffic any more either.
Please stop forecasting bad weather, you're only encouraging it.
swearing at autocarrot, especially when it swaps "duck" for "fuck" will also be compulsory.
"can't complain," is acceptable as an alternative.
If they do, you invoke the Direct Debit guarantee and your bank gets to give them a kicking.
Enforced cultural assimilation?
You must go "wahey" when someone drops a glass in a pub?
both Duchies publish their accounts & last time I looked at the Cornwall accounts, there was a line item for intestacy receipts which were spent in the local area. In England you really have to be going some for your estate to end up with the Crown, there's a workflow here www.gov.uk/inherits-som...
make a will, and you avoid the risk of your estate going to either that horrible cousin you never liked, or the Crown.
If you die without a will and no legal heirs within the boundaries of the Duchy of Cornwall, your estate goes to the Duchy. The current Duke is William. If you die without a will and no legal heirs within the boundaries of the Duchy of Lancaster, your estate goes to that Duchy, held by the monarch.
I am so sorry. AN GUD BOI FOREVER. 🫂
One of each bank note. £85.

Oh, no, I'm so sorry 😿
Tax bill?
Really long paper straw.
Permitted bathroom use carefully calculated to be just slightly less than the average usage of the subscriber.
Where do these people think I'm going on my bike at 7am, with my work laptop in one pannier and my work clothes in the other?
I suppose "techbros inventing renting (but worse)" makes a change from "techbros inventing buses (but worse)."
