The doctor asks, 'How are your moods?'She yells, 'FINE!!HOW ARE YOURS?'

The most expensive beach huts in the United Kingdom have eye-watering price tags of up to half a million pounds

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 4, 2023
Beach huts have become a symbol of the British coast, and some are so popular with Brits that they are willing to fork out hundreds of thousands of pounds just to own one. They were originally used to produce clothes as well as other beachside implements, but not intended to be lived in when they first appeared in the mid-18th century. However, a recent series of luxurious beach huts has tried to reimagine the tiny colorful shed-like buildings into something more luxurious, giving people a place to stay overnight. A group of huts in Bournemouth recently went on auction for more than £400,000, though others in the UK's varied from £100,000 to £300,000. For some of the most expensive items that are either available to purchase or can be rented out per night for some obnoxious price tags, we've compiled a list of the most costly ones.

HENRY DEEDES: Remember that Paul Whitehouse character in The Fast Show who found everything 'Brilliant!'?

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 28, 2022
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Harry Enfield, like a pre-war Punch copy, is brimming with a witty satire on subjects that almost no one remembers.

Stanley Baldrick and Ronald McDonald, 1930s Prime Ministers, were taken to gun by Harry.
