WORTH CONSUMING!
That’d be “Universal Product Code”. Time for a web-service to look it up. :-)
A story about "Lonely Planet Cycling France (Cycling Guides)" — 4 years ago
I’ve used both the Lonely Planet “Cycling France” and “Cycling Britain” books, in both cases I’ve found that although the books are good, the maps are fairly poor and hard to follow.

A spur of the moment purchase from one of the second-hand book stalls at the lunchtime market.

WORTH CONSUMING!
English, interspersed with French, Italian, German and Latin… I can only seem to take a few pages at a time and then my head swims from Umberto Eco’s use of language. I love the language, but sometimes just have to let it wash over me rather than try to understand it all.
A story about "Death Sentences : How Cliches, Weasel Words and Management-Speak Are Strangling Public Language" — 4 years ago
