Like everyone
It’s not unusual to be greeted by an older male associate asking not how you are, but which roads you took to arrive at their home. Do not ask me to explain this. It is not in my make-up. Well, genetically it is 50% of my makeup based on all data I have to hand.

:C

I can’t be the only one googling where to get one of those towels.
Apparently the answer is Amazon. How very ordinary.
My guess as for the Little household’s no frills hospitality and fixation on roads comes from a lifetime of emergency service dispatch dedication.
Bed Butt and Beyond.
I thought they disappeared into the aether?
You don’t want to turn the towel around go arse about face, although that does appear to be very common!
Well, when you live a life where you might be called on at any time to risk Flaming Death, it’s probably good not to get too stuck up on transient visitors to the home. For, in the end, we are ALL transient visitors here, are we not?
Unless I’ve misremembered the Littles’ line of work. In which case, “Cor, they’re a right cold school o’ fish, ay?”
Not only we’re transient visitors but, as the self checkout of the supermarket notes that there is something unexpected on the shelf when we don’t hurry bagging pur stuff, we all are unexpected in this world.
“Bradley”? Does Claire have a brother we know naught of?
(Also she has a mother we know naught of, but I’d assumed that.)
Maybe two? The stockings say B, C and A and the parents are Matt and Jane. So Bradley, Claire and the mysterious A.
Maybe they misspelled Glurgyn with an A?
Claire’s parents don’t strike me as the time who’d put out a stocking for a guest they’d never met before. Otherwise, A for Aglyn would be entirely reasonable.
That’s just the kind of fires they’re rated for. Claire is actually the A (solid combustibles).
We’ll need to see just how Tackleford this mysterious Uncle Rob is
How are we expected to towel the parts that fall outside the face/arse binary?
Just shake off like a Labrador.
I wonder if this is movie merchandise from the straight-to-VHS sequel to Face/Off?
Can confirm. Choice of motorway routes is the first, or at least second, topic of conversation, followed by a discussion of how they are now compared with how they were in the past.
I know Glenn is a polite young man, but the flower offering to Claire’s mother is a real “wooing your daughter” move. The Saga of Glaire continues…
I remember a character called “arse-face” from the comic series Preacher back in the aughts. Probably not related. At least I hope not. A tragic character, that one.
Ship confirmed.
