I am not proud,it’s not in my cultural background to have pride.Indeed pride,if not the actual sin of vanity ,negates my view that the best thing about my cultural background is indeed my ingrained belief in multiculturalism.

That’s not to say that my background ,environmental influences and genetics have not given me many interesting and valuable traits that inherently define me. Nothing wrong with that.

The most valuable trait is however the ability to accept and understand all the other cultures that exist and to respect them and in turn to gain the respect of other cultures by being respectful of their beliefs.

That is ingrained in me and makes me strong not weak. A vulture will pick at carrion for its’ survival, but carrion is dead.Culture is alive and kicking ;we should embrace it and respect it for what it is Culture.

Heinz Baked Beans…..Love them….we are very close,I can’t walk by them on a supermarket shelf and not buy a four pack.

What is the difference between paid for advice and free advice and which one is best?

We are  a world where advice through multiple channels is available from what seasonal  plants to grow in your garden,to how to build a safe submarine,or indeed who to vote for.

Advice can be listened to or ignored, we have a choice ;I hope.Or are the advice algorithms eliminating that choice?

Let’s face it every loud mouthed nincompoop wants you to listen to them.

So ,with the current situation,I still go back to the best advice I was ever given which has come in handy multiple times throughout my life and that was to memorise my N.I. number.

I can really recommend bananas for energy.An amazingly well packaged fruit,with a delicious sweetness when ripe and a great capacity for storage through transportation from far off places,the closest to us being the Canary Islands just off the coast of Spain.

Bananas!

Ahhh…did you mean music?There are too many so I will plump for this album put together by him indoors containing wonderful photos of his trip to Africa.

Which includes the big Five and lots of beautiful scenic pictures.

I would like to be informed about misinformation.

In reality  I would like a divining rod which would flip irritably when it comes across any form of misinformation.

Turtles know about these things.
