It's still possible to get trifluoperazine syrup. Or it was until a couple of weeks ago, and will be again in the spring. I thought all formulations were obsolete.

[Who knew it was pronounced gnu?]

"Mud, mud, glorious mud" is actually called "the Hippopotamus" and was written and performed by the same duo that wrote and performed "The Gnu".

[It was the MP for Brigg and Goole, Andrew Percy, for a while. Brigg is a lovely Lincolnshire market-town, but not really "Northern Powerhouse". The "Northern Powerhouse" bit of that particular department has been quietly dropped, it's just "Regional Growth and Local Government" now, presided over by the MP for South Middlesbrough.]

Haha I laughed at the thought of Brigg (a sleepy market town) being a northern powerhouse, Dee Gee 😂 It’s quiet ruralness was one of the things that appealed most when we moved here (along with the village ice cream parlour, which sadly shut up shop soon after).
