Did he mean Diggerland where (I believe) Peppa Pig World is now situated?

Or did he really mean Doggerland and it's a metaphor for Brexit?

It's hard to know with him.

As he was talking about wind farms in the north sea, I think we have to assume he meant the aforesaid bit of land that used to join Britain to Europe before the sea rose.

His speechgiving shtick before he was PM involved not bothering to prepare anything or to find out who we was talking to, so this speech also appears to have been unusual in that he did both.

[Well, thank goodness we are getting the improved Boris Johnson these days, Cerrers. I think he missed a trick in not promoting the use of more elephants as dentists, though ]

I often make notes when reading of things that I'd like to come back to later on, perhaps to su...

Hummus recipe:

Proper hummus is served with a drizzle of olive oil, rather than oil being a significant ingredient in its own right. This is what should go in it:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, mashed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• Approximately 2-4 tablespoons room-temperature water or aquafaba, or more if needed
• Optional garnishes: extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, finely chopped parsley or other herbs, whole chickpeas

This particular recipe from thymeandtoast.com but it’s typical of the Middle Eastern way of making it.
