oh now what
I’m just teasing. Look, I have a Starbucks! I’m part of the problem!
Annoyingly you can guarantee it’s the best pesto you ever tasted
You have to play by the rules though. If you don’t like sauerkraut, you go hungry cause there isn’t anything else.
Perhaps I’ll write a cookbook that reflects my own trajectory from the poorest demographic to the comfortable media middle classes via food. For example: always have a large jar of sauerkraut in your fridge.
“Well it isn’t any cheaper once you’ve bought a whole bottle of truffle oil and organic shallots”
My favourite thing in the world is when the economy is bad, middle class people get classic poor people problems but still refuse to listen to the ways poor people have managed said problems, oh, forever. Today: is it more expensive to cook from scratch? If only someone had looked into this before!
If you’re going to say “namely” you do in fact have to name things
Holy shit.

Thanks for the answers! I’m going with ‘everyone was in on it’.
I cannot possibly confirm who it was who hitchhiked with some spare tachograph discs 😇 Not that he was ever a trucker to my knowledge
Ahhhhh
I do like this theory, but I have a very old vague memory of the person giving the disc to the driver. But one cannot in any way rely on a childhood memory, happy to wrong about that.
Who is paying them though? Presumably their regular employer would notice they’d submitted more tacho hours than allowed?
Long shot but anyone know how analogue tachograph fraud worked? Someone I knew in the 80s used to hitchhike holding out blank tachographs and I want to know how that all worked. I know how tachographs worked but not why a blank one was hitchhiking currency.
I was! He is ASHAMED
