Who ever says that the Scots aren’t healthy needs to rethink their stereotyping. While Scotland may be famous for creating the culinary delicacy that is the deep-fried Mars Bar, under the SNP it has evolved into a ‘healthier’ version.
Jim Murphy, who was ousted from his seat by the SNP, has been reacquainting himself with the national favourite in the Scottish Parliament. Alas instead of being deep-fried it is now just wrapped in pastry. However, this change to the recipe still appears to mean that the pudding has too many calories to mention:
Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club, which is set in a retirement village and features pensioners solving murders, was a publishing sensation. (There are now four books in the series, with combined sales of more than ten million copies.) I’ve never read it. ‘Cosy crime’, as it’s called, is either your bag or it isn’t.
