Not quite a casein point, but i’ll wager some of those tits lactose because of the cold.

....and of course, it they'd been pectin whilst still on the milk float, not many would have wanted them, so they'd be going cheep... ....(sorry)

Oh wow yes....forgotten...real un-homoginised milk. I remember when the milkman delivered jam, and the blue tits got to work as usual. The tops were all pectin. Quality midweek pun for you all there.

I do not object to the Oxford comma (although I wouldn't use it on this occasion). I just object to the word "all".

It doesn't need an Oxford comma. The full meaning is already crystal clear with no possible confusion. Anyway, that's his opinion. 99.9% of the population will not care either way..................unless, as a result of his complaint, a few (say 2000) get minted with an Oxford comma and released into circulation. Then Sir Philip might experience an unexpected surge of popularity amongst coin enthusiasts. Hey, I just throw that one out there as a wildcard.

Sir Philip Pullman is protesting about the Brexit 50p coin. He is complaining that the "Oxford comma" is missing from the coin's wording: "Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51269012 It's the first time I have heard of the term "Oxford comma" which is a comma in front of the word "and". I was taught at school that comma is optional and I have never used it myself. Let's do a poll on the number of people for and against this comma. Wouldn't it be funny if it is an ironic 48:52 split.
