Similar to everyone else: it was going swimmingly the last couple of days, and has slowed down significantly in recent hours. It's definitely not AS slow as on some previous occasions, but the delay is definitely there.

My hope was for a different understanding. And you missed a couple.

Spills happen in a pub. But there's a difference between saying "I'll just clean up this spill that happened before anyone slips on it" and saying "please don't deliberately tip your drinks on the floor".

And the understanding you're currently giving is that if the patrons deliberately tip drinks on the floor, you'll come along and say "I'll just clean this up".

EDIT: I see that the rest of the spill has now been cleaned.

This is a fascinating thread.  I listen to a lot of British music and there's stuff here I've not heard of.  I shall explore a lot of these works.

Today I listened to the Piano Concerto and Symphony no. 3 by John Joubert.  The pianist is Martin Jones, with the BBC NOW con. William Boughton.

Slow here at this end.  Wonder whether or not that might have more to do with the time of day?

Two eminently lyric quartets by this Lithuanian composer (1884-1941). The First Quartet is imbued with delightful rustic gestures. The Second Quartet is less memorable yet very beautiful.
