@The_East_End Yes, my parents brought me a crinkle-wrapped bottle in hospital in 1972. I used to love that orange cellophane

Now - a real ‘Marmite’ question that divides opinions… Do you remember when Lucozade was served in glass bottles wrapped in orange cellophane - it made it feel more like ‘medicine’ than a refreshing drink - some loved it, some hated it… #eastend #MemoryLane

@SoVeryBritish Love them all!

According to a recent survey, these are the 3 most unpopular British biscuits, so I’ve bought them to give to guests I don’t like ☺️

@Catsillyness Beef hula hoops

@Christo03770888 Blake’s Seven, no?

Ain’t nobody ever going to remember this show … I’m sure of it 🤔

@WriterHannahBT Mice one!☝️

Did you know that tennis balls used at Wimbledon are donated to animal rehabilitation centres around Britain for harvest mice.

@Christo03770888 I have literally just devoured one from a pack I bought last week

Did anyone actually eat these things 🤔?

@Matt_Pinner Vegan cookie

The last thing you ate is what you have to name him

@ColeTheBlackCat By fetching and carrying for them, as per usual. But getting furry cuddles in return ❤️

Happy International Cat Day! 😺🧡 How will you be celebrating with your cats? 🥳 #InternationalCatDay #CatDay #CatsAreTheBest #Cats

Does anyone know this moth? In my garden this morning.

@OUPELTGlobal Because I’ve always had an affinity with languages. They were the only subjects that made any sense to me at school. And my mum was an EFL teacher when I was a child. Later, we worked at the same school together!

👩‍🏫 We love hearing why you became a teacher. Share with us in the comments for a chance to be featured.✨ #ITeachBecause #ELT

#thejetty I’m halfway through episode 3 and I’ve only just realised that two different time frames are in operation. Amy and Caitlin are ‘decades earlier’. But are Malachy and Mack the same person? Is the hand cut from Amy or a bap-related incident? Huh?🤔

@ELT_T2W Lex-cellent reading 👍🏻

All you need for your next materials-planning meeting! ☀️ Sun 🍒 Snacks ☕ Coffee 🧔🏻 A colleague or two 📚 A selection of our books, all of which you can see on our website. #ELT #EFL #MAWSIG

@ArtemistheCat10 @AMAZlNGNATURE Me too. When those ads come on the telly, I cry.

@AMAZlNGNATURE It always upsets me the way they are loaded up and used as transport in some countries. Or spend their days in noisy, polluted city streets in the boiling heat. Poor donkeys 😢

baby donkeys are so underrated😍🤗

@theartsdesk @BBCTwo @SweetingAdam I don’t get why two Turkish blokes (Det Ikmen and the industrialist, Ep 3) are speaking to each other in English?!

★★ THE TURKISH DETECTIVE @BBCTwo - #BarbaraNadel's #InspectorIkmen novels reach the screen, and it’s a bad business in the #Bosphorus, says @SweetingAdam - ‘The best things are the touristy views of #Istanbul... Otherwise it’s a bit of a dog’s breakfast’ theartsdesk.com/tv/turkish-det…

@susie_dent I know ‘absquatulate’. It means flee, abscond, leave abruptly. If you absquatulize someone, they absquatulate, right?

Word of the day is ‘absquatulize’ (19th century): to dismiss, send off, and put to flight.

@HedgehogCabin Brilliant. Thank you 🙏 ❤️

This is a journey of hope, courage, determination, and complete victory over adversity. With a dog destroying their nest, helpless little babies Gracie and Ben were found deathly cold, flyblown, distressed and crying for their mum. It wasn't until the next day that little Hobo was found, dragging himself around on his front legs, starving cold and crying, with a dog bite so deep through his back that it had crushed the thigh bone of his right rear leg. The bone was so completely shattered that it was invisible to x-ray. But hedgehogs haven't survived for 15 million years, through persecution, famine and the ice age, without learning a thing or two about determination. From dragging himself to the door of their bed to watch his brother and sister eat, Hobo slowly learned to walk again, and feed himself. As he was less that 3 weeks old, his bones were still growing, and a safe environment, the right drugs, and good nutrition meant they could gradually repair themselves. The last vido clip was 10 days ago, when they went 'hands off' to prepare for life back in the wild, and weaned onto solid dry food. Hobbo can now walk, run, climb and scratch himself (babies with adult spines growing through are VERY itchy!), so this precious little family are now free and back home, where there will always be food and water and where they can have another chance at life.
