@AthrillatheHunt Yup, the potato!
As quoted in the famous (English ;) ) TV series Blackadder, when Sir Walter Raleigh brought home potatoes:
"They're everywhere! People are smoking them, building houses with them - they'll be eating them next!"

@Julien
The leopard in heraldry is traditionally depicted the same as a lion, but in a walking position with its head turned to full face, thus it is also known as a lion passant guardant in some texts, though leopards more naturally depicted make some appearances in modern heraldry. The Oxford Guide to Heraldry makes little mention of leopards but glosses leopard as a "term used in medieval heraldry for lion passant guardant. Now used for the natural beast."[1] Another name for this beast is the ounce.[2]

@Nate931 I'm reminded of the classic line by comedian Frankie Boyle:
"People say that the British Royal Family are really shape-shifting repilians.
It's far worse than that: they're actually a slightly dim German family to whom we have inexplicably given BILLIONS."

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP If that's the Greek and Roman empires as well as the British one, I think you could be right.

@wishforthenight Where's the option for "As long as it's upside down - because you didn't learn that the "D" goes furthest from the pole"???
@HootyTheNightOwl Hey, I don't make the flow charts ;)

@wishforthenight I can't believe they even managed to get the Union Flag upside down, too... I mean, the narrower lines on the top are supposed to help you to not make that mistake - they're like arms.

@HootyTheNightOwl We could do a lot worse than joining the Green Party, honestly.
But you make valid points about Farage. However, unless something drastic happens regarding Labour policy, Reform are almost certain to form the next government UNLESS, and it's a HUGE unless, Labour overhaul the voting system and introduce Proportional Representation, or at least the first-choice second-choice rankings they're thinking of reinstating for the mayoralties.
This would allow Reform into government while forcing them to significantly blunt their agenda.

@wishforthenight There's still the hope that enough people are watching what Reform are doing in the councils they do have control over to see that a Reform government is a bad idea.
In Derbyshire, they closed 5 adult education centres in some of the most deprived areas - 2 days before the public consultation on it even closed.
Now, the problem with that is that DWP is funnelling the unemployed through adult education centres with the belief that they all need some sort of English and Maths qualification to make them look more attractive to Amazon or WeCleanAnyBusiness.com. Yes, that's what your taxes are paying for when the unemployed are forced to attend "job clubs" - that and for them to attend some office in some city to sit at a computer for an hour or two looking through Indeed.com for jobs that they haven't already applied for last week.
Oh... and, even Aldi saw that coming, they bought in a system where further applications are bounced out if the applicant applied for another role less than 2 years ago. You can't even flood them with applications to shut up the DWP.
