In February’s Senate trial to impeach and convict Donald Trump for the crime of inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, the modern GOP had one last shot at rescuing its long-battered image as a responsible governing party. It might have reclaimed something of its former standing as an honest broker in the American two-party system, committed (among other things) to the peaceful transition of power, the conduct of free and fair elections, and each federal lawmaker’s oath to uphold the Constitution.

After a capricious few decades of new destination mania, the pandemic has definitely made us long for, and miss old favourites, especially the honeypot allure and old school glamour of say, Capri.
The two-hour French lunch died long before the pandemic
The lengthy gastronomic exploration in taste and alcohol - concluded after the second cigar and the third Armagnac - was already a rarity

There’s something charming about you British feeling sorry for the demise of the two-hour French lunch. Another hallowed French tradition destroyed by the pandemic. Office workers, who previously were barred by our 3,000-page-plus
Code du Travail from eating at their desks in the middle of the day, can now plump down their sandwiches next to the computer in (relative) peace. Cue wails of “this is the end of civilisation as we know it”, “the thin end of the (Camembert) wedge”, etc.
