Everyone dressed up as members of the Peaky Blinders, as per Kevin Carr’s post below.

The question is, would a turn-of-the-century gangster have been able to get income protection or critical-illness cover?

X/Twitter picOctober brought with it one of life’s big questions: why did Greg Moss write ‘Bottle 189%’ on an envelope?

He himself posed the question on X.

In response, Victor Sacks wrote: “In a Bosh style? ‘Gotta not lose your bottle and give it 189%.’”
