There was once a little Chinese buffet restaurant in Chinatown called Mr Au. Perhaps for tax reasons, it closed and reopened soon after with a new name, Mr Wu, and after a few years it closed again before re-emerging as Little Wu.

I always imagined that they simply crossed out the names on the old headed notepaper when they submitted their tax returns, but when the restaurant relaunched in it's Little Wu guide, they had postcards printed to advertise the "new" restaurant.

I picked a few up obviously as I'm pretty keen on postcards, and one of these beauties can be yours! These are strictly limited edition, as Little Wu no longer exists.

They are now called MW Buffet...

Elena and I have just arrived back from Thailand, where we complained about the heat. Poor Elena had to endure the heat during her first trimester of pregnancy and was feeling all hot and bothered in addition to suffering morning sickness, so we headed back to the UK.

And guess what we do now?

Yup you guessed it…complain about the cold!
