Time for your periodic summary of English newspapers

What newspaper to read in England

The Times is read by the people who run the country.

The Financial Times is read by the people who own the country.

The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country.

The Daily Telegraph is read by the people who think the country ought to be run like it used to be.

The Daily Express is read by the people who think it still is.

The Guardian is read by the people who think they ought to run the country.

The Morning Star is read by the people who think the country ought to be run by another country.

The Star, Sun, and Mirror are read by people who don't care who runs the country, so long as they have big tits.

So I might have visited the market downtown this morning and might have stopped at the olive stall 🫒🌶️

The AA (Automobile Association) just auto-emailed me to say that my website message to them, sent in April, just just been deleted without ever having been read. If you ever wanted to know what happens to website "emails", now you do. Th nk for letting me know, AA.

Foretaste of things to come, and it's not even a Bank Holiday here. But Happy Towel Day anyway! #TowelDay

Right. What's the other 11%?

This also explains why Google Translate for years misled Spanish restaurants into mislabelling their link to their menu as "letter" instead of "menu". Carta is also Spanish for a card or a map, and the designers who made Spanish restaurant web sites never checked. Most of them are fixed now.

Google Translate showing Spanish "carta" as English "letter" — correctly except that it also means "menu" among other meanings like "map"

Reminds me of the gravedigger's comment to Sam Pepys, when he enquired where his brother was to be buried: “I will justle them together but I will make room for him;” speaking of the fulness of the middle isle,

Pepys' Diary, Friday 18 March 1663/64
Up betimes, and walked to my brother’s, where a great while putting things in order against anon; then to Madam Turner’s and eat a breakfast there, and so to Wotton, my shoemaker, and there got a pair of shoes blacked on the soles against anon for me; so to my brother’s and to church, and with the grave-maker chose a place for my brother to lie in, just under my mother’s pew. But to see how a man’s tombes are at the mercy of such a fellow, that for sixpence he would, (as his owne words were,) “I will justle them together but I will make room for him;” speaking of the fulness of the middle isle, where he was to lie; and that he would, for my father’s sake, do my brother that is dead all the civility he can; which was to disturb other corps that are not quite rotten, to make room for him; and methought his manner of speaking it was very remarkable; as of a thing that now was in his power to do a man a courtesy or not.

It always reminds me of the Private Eye front cover from April 1965

Private Eye front cover cartoon by Gerald Scarfe, April 1965, showing LBJ having his trousers pulled down by Harold Wilson licking his lips. Title is "VIETNAM: WILSON RIGHT BEHIND JOHNSON" and LBJ's speech bubble says "I've heard of a Special Relationship but this is ridiculous".
