"Cooks Tour" I never though of that, I always assumed it was something to do with Cooks going out to search for ingredients...well dang!

Maybe "Crooks Tour" would be more appropriate

I don't think you can count it as British. German/Chinese maybe?

Thomas Cook have been hanging on by their fingernails for sometime now..... They kept a large and expensive network of High Street shops when everyone else was moving online. They also operated on very slim margins.

Yeah, on a later new bulletin they showed a graph of the share price for the last few years. Slippery slope...

You're in Europe, which even includes Cymru! But next year is anyone's guess!

Wales will still be in Europe next year. It may not be in the EU.

Please tell me you don't eat lava bread

Lava bread would probably be better than laverbread, for sure.
The latter is "an acquired taste" which I have diligently managed not to acquire. I suspect the only reason for eating it was that it was the only food you could get back in the day.

Ok didn't know it was spelt in Rods honour - had it once and decided it was the most disgusting thing I'd ever tasted with the exception of jellied eels ( I can't even stand next to someone eating those abominations ) yucko

I'm building a box to house my 3D printer, and I wanted a 12V supply to power LEDs and a extractor fan - so I raided the "dead phone" box and grabbed a barrel connector PSU and started looking for a panel mount female 5.5mm OD.
That's when I discovered there are two types: ID or 2.1mm or ID or 2.5mm.
And a little research* gave me the "official test" to find out which is which.
Grab a toothpick, break it in half. Stuff it in the hole in the middle. Turn it upside down. If it falls out, it's 2.5mm, if it doesn't, it's 2.1mm.
Because there is an standard for the thickness of round toothpicks: 2.1 to 2.2mm
And that's what I learned today: someone, somewhere, documented the size of a wooden stick ... and everybody went along with it. 
* OK, OK ... a quick Google
