  1. Why are they letting Clarrie near the village cakes? Don't they remember the 'unpleasantness'? #thearchers
  2. @Airscaper Fingers crossed
  3. @MissElvey And I bet she says something 'loyal'. Glad you had a lovely day hunting JMH.
  4. Dreading #TheArchers tonight. I suspect they may possibly be holding a jubilee celebration in Ambridge.
  5. That look on the Queen's face says "this is lasting longer than my reign". #BBCjubilee
  6. Quiz show host Richard Dawson has died. Best known in Britain as the second Mr Diana Dors.
  7. This reminds me of that dreadful election night ship of fools. Sometimes the BBC tries too hard to be different. #bbcjubilee
  8. @norloll It's her last shot at the big time. A gal's gotta try.
  9. Ooo, Anneka Rice is still alive! #BBCJubilee
  10. Such a major event they ran out of professional presenters and had to include Fern Cotton. #BBCjubilee
  11. @RevPaulCA Certainly a much lower percentage than MPs on the fiddle with expenses.
  12. #bornonthisday 1907 Paul Rotha. Film theorist, director, writer. Here's a clip from The Way to the Sea (producer) youtube.com/watch?v=u_g6Bq…
  13. @Stuz719 Thanks. Will do.
  14. So, it's the start of the Jubilee and the Queen takes the day off to go to the races. #ThatsJustLazyLizy
  15. Apparently, if you have a granny in your granny flat, you currently don't pay rates. So who does this new tax break benefit?
  16. @MissElvey He gave us a talk on silent film and was so charming and enthusiastic.
  17. @BBCr4today Can you please stop spinning the Granny Flat thing as helping hard-working families? It's about servants' quarters.
