Diversions this week are discussing classic UK subterranean tourist attractions Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge, and how Matthew’s life could have been different if only he’d been Wookey Hole’s witch mascot. Nate has bought a model kit for one of those massive excavation machines, which he says is “about as big as an Alsatian” and “basically a bin-bag full of girders”. So he is turning it into an Orc sewage treatment plant. Standard week to be honest.
