Zimtstaub


Hallihallo and guten Tag here at Zimtstaub (/tsɪmt-staʊb/), where you can find a collection of things I find highly irritating about the UK, absolutely wonderful, or weird.

My name's Ellie and I'll be the one making you read dad jokes when you least expect it.

What do you call a magician's dog? That's right. A labracadabrador.
