Don't think I'm meant to like Al Murray, he's right wing I think? But I have LOVED the WW2 podcast he does with James Holland while I've been off work. Politics doesn't seem to come into it, in touch with how horrible it was, going to tank museums and bantering with curators, just dead good

It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.
