Nicky Haslam’s end-of-year tea towel, emblazoned with a list of things he finds common, is now an annual tradition. The latest features Grayson Perry, bucket lists and ordering lobster. But money-saving expert Martin Lewis has taken issue with some of Haslam’s choices.
“Forgive me, but what a twat!” Lewis wrote on Twitter/X in a fit of pique before quickly editing “twat” to “prat”. He was annoyed by the inclusion of “grieving” and the Northern Lights. “I only wish grief counselling had been ‘common’ when I needed it,” he wrote.
