Surprise!

So since the “Thomas describing the boyfriends” and vice versa posts have amused people and have sort of helped me get a grip on my characters, I decided to type up this thing that’s been going through my head for a bit. It’s more of a group interview style, but it has them all answering the question: what surprised you the most about this guy you’re dating?

Thomas: ...we have to start with Chris, don’t we?

Chris: Of course we do! I was first!

Richard: Technically he met me first.

Chris: But he was dating me first, so we have to start with me.

Thomas: Alright. Fine. … … Alright, you have to bear in mind that when we first met I had only actually dated one man in my life and he was a right prick who didn’t care about anyone except himself. And honestly, looking back at it, he seemed to think he was invincible, or at least pretend that nothing to could touch him. Except maybe his mother. And so there were things I’d just...never thought about…

Chris: It was the insistence we use condoms, wasn’t it?

Thomas: Well, Phillip never did! And it’s not as if either of us could get pregnant and...stop smirking, will you? Look, even knowing better now, there’s something about you that reminds me of him – I don’t know what exactly -

Chris: As long as it’s not being a right prick.

Thomas: No, not that. Something else. But whatever it is, I still can’t see him using a condom unless he caught, I dunno, herpes or something, so it was still sort of a surprise.

Chris: Eh, fair enough. I thought pretty much the same thing ‘til my mid-twenties.

Guy: What changed your mind?

Chris: Nothing that couldn’t be cured, thankfully. Was still bloody embarrassing, and some of my friends weren’t so lucky.

Guy: Ah. Yes, that will tend to do it.

Richard: So, Chris, your turn. What surprised you about Thomas?

Chris: Same thing in reverse, really. I mean, I left my Mum’s house soon as I was old enough, flipping the V as I went, and immediately went looking for the pot of men at the end of the rainbow. Finding a man my age who was out of the closet, but had only had one boyfriend, had never been to a gay bar, and thought pregnancy was the only thing he needed protection from was pretty hard to wrap my head around.

Richard: *cough*

Chris: What?

Richard: …nothing.

Chris: Oh, is there a Dick joke hiding behind that smile of yours? C’mon, then, let’s hear it.

Thomas: Let’s not. I can tell from his expression that it’s going to be horrible.

Richard: I thought you liked my sense of humor.

Thomas: Normally, but occasionally it’s dreadful, and this is going to be one of those times, I can tell. Anyway, your turn. What surprised you about me?

Richard: Actually, it’s your turn.

Thomas: Oh, I suppose-

Richard: You’re cuddly.

Thomas: ….what?

Richard: That’s what surprised me the most. At Downton you’re so stiff and formal, even when you aren’t officially on the clock, or you’re making snarky comments about the fussy groom with his hot cousin.

Guy: That was oddly specific…

Thomas: We met when his cousin got married.

Guy: Ah. Okay.

Richard: Anyway, waking up with you curled up against me, practically purring was a surprise is all.

Thomas: A nice surprise, I take it?

Richard: Oh, yes. Very nice. Now, what about you?

Thomas: I was honestly a bit surprised you could cook.

Richard: How else am I supposed to eat?

Chris: The pub and prepared food from Sainsbury’s Local, like the rest of us!

Richard: No thank you. I occasionally like something other than prawn mayonnaise.

Chris: They have more than that!

Guy: Although I do have to admit, I’ve never met a packaged sandwich that was as good as home made.

Richard: At least someone appreciates my talent. Perhaps I should only cook for Guy from now on.

Thomas: It wasn’t a criticism! You’re a good cook. I just didn’t expect to wake up and find you in the kitchen making breakfast the first morning I stayed over is all.

Richard: Mmm, since the point of that was to surprise you, I suppose I can’t be too upset that you were surprised.

Thomas: That would be very silly, yes. Now, Guy’s turn?

Chris: I think it’s yours, actually. You and Richard got turned around.

Guy: I don’t think it matters. I’ll go, so Thomas isn’t doing two in a row.

Thomas: Thank you.

Guy: Admittedly, I can’t say I’ve been really, deeply surprised by much. I was surprised to find out that you went to the International Butler’s Academy, but that was mostly because I hadn’t realized such a thing existed. ...I suppose if we’re being serious, it was surprising to learn you were poly. Certainly couldn’t complain, though.

Chris: I should hope not. It meant you had a chance!

Guy: Precisely.

Thomas: Well if you’d told me as much as a day before meeting you that Guy Dexter, Hollywood’s darling, had impostor syndrome, I’d have not believed it. I’m serious! Leading up to the filming, I don’t think a day went by without walking into the break room and finding the maids watching some interview or other, and you always seemed so confident and witty. Not that you aren’t witty, of course. You are, but in an entirely different way. Honestly, I like you better off screen.

Guy: I’m glad to hear it.

Chris: I like you better off screen too! Onscreen you don’t have beer. Speaking of which…

Guy: It’s in the refrigerator, help yourself.

The Merton Plaque: a plaque showing Nicholas Breakspear, Henry III and Saint Thomas Becket in front of Merton Priory; an English Augustinian priory founded in 1114 by Gilbert Norman, Sheriff of Surrey under King Henry I (1100–1135). It was situated within the manor of Merton in the county of Surrey, in what is today the Colliers Wood area in the London Borough of Merton.

The priory buildings were situated within the Diocese of Winchester (now in the Diocese of Southwark), at the point where the River Wandle was crossed by Stane Street (the Roman road to Chichester), about 10 kilometres outside the City of London. It held cultivated land and pastures there and at other places in Surrey, and held manors and other lands elsewhere in England, including Teign (Canons' Teign) in Devon.

By 1117 the foundation had been colonised by Canons Regular from the Augustinian priory at Huntingdon, and re-sited in Merton, close to the Wandle, where it became an important centre of learning and diplomacy, Thomas Becket briefly studied there around 1130, and later was given to wearing the habit of a Merton canon; as was a successor of his, Hubert Walter.

It's thought that Walter de Merton also studied there in the 1230s. He established a house for Merton scholars in Old Malden, and this was eventually moved to Oxford, becoming Merton College.

Edmond Rich wrote some of his Oxford lectures in the peace of the Priory. In 1205, King John sent a canon of Merton as an ambassador to Normandy, and Prince Lois of France did penance there after a series of peace conferences culminating in the Treaty of Lambeth in 1217.

In 1236 King Henry III held a Parliament at the Priory at which the Statute of Merton was passed, allowing, amongst other matters, lords of the manor to enclose common land, provided that sufficient pasture remained for their tenants. This was the first recorded statute of the first recorded English parliament.

On November 1, 1437, shortly before his 16th birthday, Henry VI had a crowning ceremony at Merton Priory; although the exact nature of this is unclear.

The Priory was demolished in 1538, following King Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. having been valued in the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 at a relatively high sum of £960 16 shillings 6 pence. John Bowles (alias John Ramsey: a Canon of Windsor from 1557 to 1558) surrendered the monastery on April 16, 1538. Much of the masonry was reused at the king's Nonsuch Palace.

The site of the Priory is now occupied by the Merton branch of Sainsbury's: a supermarket chain. Remains of the Chapter House are now a museum under Merantun Way, between Sainsbury's and Merton Abbey Mills.

New Post has been published on All about business online

New Post has been published on https://yaroreviews.info/2023/07/supermarkets-forced-to-publish-live-fuel-prices-to-cut-costs

Supermarkets forced to publish live fuel prices to cut costs

Getty Images

By Daniel Thomas

Business reporter, BBC News

Supermarkets and other fuel retailers will be forced to publish live prices under a new scheme aimed at stopping them overcharging, the government says.

It comes after Britons were found to have paid an extra 6p per litre for fuel at supermarkets last year as weak competition let them charge more.

Under the scheme drivers will be able to compare up-to-date prices online so they can find the cheapest option.

Driving groups say the idea, which is used elsewhere in Europe, is overdue.

Energy Security Secretary Grant Shapps said it would change the law to force retailers to share this information.

A new “fuel monitor” oversight body will also be set up to scrutinise prices on an ongoing basis.

“We’ll shine a light on rip-off retailers to drive down prices and make sure they’re held to account by putting into law new powers to increase transparency,” Mr Shapps said.

Petrol and diesel prices spiked to record highs in the immediate aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but have dropped significantly since then.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been investigating the UK fuel market following concerns that falling wholesale prices are not being passed on to consumers.

According to the watchdog, supermarkets were usually the cheapest place for fuel but competition was “not working as well as it should be”.

Fact v fiction: Five tips for saving petrol money examined

NI fuel cheapest in UK due to Irish competition

It found that:

average annual supermarket margins on fuel had increased by 6p per litre between 2019 and 2022 – equivalent to £900m in extra costs for drivers

Morrisons’ and Asda’s targeted fuel margins for 2023 had doubled and tripled respectively since 2019

Sainsbury’s and Tesco had followed suit and raised their prices, suggesting competition had “weakened”

increased margins on diesel across all retailers had cost drivers an extra 13p per litre from January 2023 to the end of May 2023

CMA boss Sarah Cardell told the BBC: “We’ve seen retail margins increase over the last few years. And that means that motorists are paying more at the pump than they would be if competition was working really well.”

The RAC’s spokesman, Simon Williams, said the extra costs for consumers were “nothing short of astounding in a cost-of-living crisis and confirms what we’ve been saying for many years that supermarkets haven’t been treating drivers fairly at the pumps”.

Asda – which was separately fined £60,000 by the CMA for failing to provide information in a timely manner to the investigation – said it was still the cheapest traditional supermarket for fuel.

Morrisons said its pricing was “extremely competitive”, while Tesco said it was committed to providing “great value”.

All of them have welcomed the idea of a price transparency scheme, of which a successful example is already in place and said to be lowering prices in Northern Ireland.

‘Rip-off retailers’

The government said that under its new initiative, drivers would be able to access live, station-by-station fuel prices on their phones or satnavs.

At present, retailers only provide price information at petrol stations themselves, making it hard to compare rates, although some websites try to collate this data.

The AA said it had been calling for this type of price tracking since at least 2012, when it first investigated similar schemes in Austria and Denmark.

“Sadly, it has taken more than 15 years for a government and competition watchdog to recognise this and do something about it,” said spokesman Luke Bodset.

Nevertheless, he said access to live pricing would be a “huge leap forward” and needs to be in place by the end of the year.

“Drivers will be drawn to the cheaper fuel stations and that will pressure other forecourts to bring down their prices, thus stimulating the level of competition that has been missing for the past three years.”

As of Monday, unleaded petrol costs on average 143.86p per litre while diesel costs 145.54p, according to RAC data.

That is down sharply from the record highs seen last July, but still above pre-pandemic trends.

The CMA is also investigating complaints that supermarkets are not passing on falling food prices to consumers.

It comes as food price inflation on items like bread, cereal and chocolate remains close to a 45-year high, at 18.3%.

Supermarkets deny profiteering, telling MPs last week the industry is “the most competitive we have ever been”.

How to save money on petrol and diesel

Watch your speed: The RAC says 45-50mph is the most efficient speed to drive for fuel efficiency

Switch off the air conditioning: Extra energy is needed to power a car’s air conditioning system and turning it on can increase your fuel consumption by up to 10%, according to the AA

Check your tyre pressure: Underinflated tyres will use up extra petrol. Check your pressures regularly, especially before heading off on a long journey
