24 bit colour is so universal that most people don't know what it really is, including me at one point. It's just a fact of life, like trying to describe water to fish, and it gets confusing that I don't have the vocabulary to contrastingly describe what Pantone is for, or why Sunday Peanuts strips were published in colour but aren't available in "colour" as we know it.

I am in a Sainsbury's. Not a special Sainsbury's. Just my local Sainsbury's. And if you look behind me, you'll see the meal deal counter.

Now, meal deals are as quintessentially British as a cup of tea and a biscuit! 😀

But what if I were to tell you that Meal Deals have their origins not in Britain, but in this remote Portuguese village.

[cut to man speaking Portuguese] subtitles: My father would make meal deals for me and my brothers in the 1960s.
