Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24-3-2023 — Sir Alan Sugar.

24th March, 2023: Sir Alan Sugar.

It’s officially official: I got up, early.

Hopefully?

I’ll be dressed by the time an old neighbour looks in!

Still being in pyjamas isn’t necessarily a good look, if you’re expecting visitors!

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Santa Maria’s sounds like like it’s something to see, Olga.   I do like an old church, even if I’m not especially religious: they’re amazing buildings.   Saint Thomas’s, the Anglican place off Brentwood High Street, is quite something.

        Have fun, Saturday: it sounds like you’re in for a treat!   (Yes IS Pau using to edit the audio?   I tend to use Audacity, it’s a LOT simpler than Apple’s Garage Band: for me, that’s like using an a-bomb to crack a walnut!)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Does it, Debbi?   Have you thought about amputation?    *Runs away*!   (Actually, on the subject of decapitation?   Have you seen what’s happening in France?   There’s rioting on the streets, people wearing tricolour sashes … and town halls being burnt down.   President Macron may be in trouble, if the phrase ‘Vive la révolution’, gets dug up!)

^        It’s OK, Trevor, I’ll get less potatoes at Sunday dinner.
