With all the variations on fancy burger and fancy fried chicken around the place, you’d think that someone could come up with interesting regional food at a mid-range price
Huhu grub burgers - forestry blocks could diversify to have a nursery grub raising area...

Lorde “Down the back, but who cares? Still the Louvre” and more.

But as Jonathan Swift said back in 1710:
Besides, as the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the greatest Liar has his Believers; and it often happens, that if a Lie be believ’d only for an Hour, it has done its Work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect…
aka Quin's 'dead cat' is still bouncing...
