A word that should exist: auvidience

Vidience has already been proposed but hasn't caught on, so I don't fancy the chances of this proposed neologism. Just like mural has been broadened to include pavimental, so audience has been broadened to where the er, audience does not hear the subject.

Besides, it sounds ugly.

Christmas pudding series

Today I glanced in my cupboard at the Christmas pudding I bought on Boxing Day. The box said:

SERIES 8-10

What!? Are Christmas puddings issued as collectables? On a second look, it actually said:

SERVES 8-10

Oh. Either I need my glasses checked or I watch too many DVD box sets. 🤣
