I've tricked Instagram into thinking I'm wealthy enough to bank with Coutts, and that I'm interested in doing so. I'm neither of those things, but I still click on the links whenever I see their ads, both to confuse Meta and wasting a tiny fraction of the bank's marketing budget.

I made some missing dog posters using a picture of a lovely tabby cat. I printed them out on A4 and taped them to lamp posts in my area. I got a lot more mails telling me it's a cat than I expected. And not from kids but adults.

Last year my parents resolved the Abilene paradox in our marriage. After 7 years we all had Xmas together and I roasted a turkey. They asked why. I said my husband and the kids like it. They all said they were enduring it for me. We all hate turkey. This year we're having lamb.

It helps a lot to actually talk to your spouse. I know it's icky-poo and I gather it's highly un-British, but the upside is you'll avoid many an Abilene paradox.
