@BovrilG @cavalierpatriot Using ‘were’ instead of ‘was’ is still very common in Yorkshire and the North East of England
English
@cavalierpatriot “Was” and “were” were used almost completely interchangeably in British English until the early nineteenth century
English
Ebonics is traditional King James Planter English. “You was” is carried from “thou wast”

@maxtmcc @WestchesterRai1 The Tyne river is very wide and deep there and N and S Shields are both quite urbanised ports. The two ends of the metro at these ends is connected by a passenger ferry
English
@WestchesterRai1 yeah I mean it looks like it works? if they really wanted to double down on the whole transferring from the Yellow Line to the Yellow Line thing they could connect North and South Shields at the other end
English
im obsessed with the shape of this metro. never seen anything like it
Jon Stone@joncstone
the Tyne and Wear Metro is so good and it's completely ridiculous that every big city in the UK doesn't have its own version

While the Soviet invasion of Finland was obviously horrible, it seems clear to me that the Finns should have accepted the Soviet land trade offer They ended up losing way more land despite winning the war!

Why is it that Brits get so easily oneshotted by « thing, Japan! »
The man does mundane things and gets showered with millions of likes. Is it exoticism? Seeing a Japanese person is like seeing a panda at the zoo?

@Adrian_Hilton @HCH_Hill It is an unfair system to humanities students to essentially force them to subsidise STEM degrees and then kick them on the way out with low paying unfulfilling careers in areas they didn’t expect. Unis and society lies to them for the whole time promising high paying jobs
English
@Adrian_Hilton @HCH_Hill I am grateful to Humanities students for subsidising my STEM degree, but the argument here is that graduates of humanities subjects expect higher paying salaries for getting a degree when this is no longer possible. We have overproduced ‘elites’. They should be warned beforehand.

I despair of Conservatives who define “dead-end university courses” and who assess “delivering negative returns for young people” based solely on future earnings and student loan repayment. There is more to learning than Mammon; and more to life than your contribution to GDP.
BBC Politics@BBCPolitics
“We’re going to stop the government funding dead end university courses” Shadow education secretary Laura Trott says her party would stop funding courses that “don’t deliver for young people” citing some creative arts courses as an example #BBCLauraK bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@ErrolTostigson Spring snow is one of my favourite Mishima novels. I was glad that I was able to recommend this to some of my Japanese colleagues at work so they could read it in the original language and compare to the English translation.

It’s amazing how widely spread that Tory poster style has become.

@carto_graph We still have some named services. The LNER Route from London KX to Inverness is called 'The Highland Chieftain'
English
We should bring back named long-distance trains. It adds a touch of romance and helps make the railway network more legible to passengers!

@The_Clermontian The Leeds to Hull (via Selby) rail electrification plan had been planned in 2014 and has been pushed back ever since. Still isn’t done. And now the new ‘northern powerhouse rail’ plan also ignores it.
English
Given that Britain still has rail lines that to this day aren't electrified I'd probably argue that keeping an eye on Indian progress is relevant.
Landeur 🏴@Landeur
Let’s check in with Reform’s latest Tory defectors. Nadhim Zahawi is focussed on… what’s that? The electrification of Indian railways? Uhh, great! This is what we need…

@ScouseJayne @an0n_Nic @Danjsalt £2k a month before bills is just £47 more than a minimum wage 40 hour a week 9-5 job pays.
English
On the basis that they're both earning £110,000 and have a student loan it means they'll clear about £5,500 each per month
So that's a combined income of around £11,000 a month
Let's assume childcare is £900 each - you could get it cheaper using a child minder which is what my wife and I used
So that means they would have £9,200 for a house and bills per month
That excludes their additional income from the holiday lets etc
Now I think the British tax system is as broken as the rest of the state however the idea they can't afford more children is bonkers
I suspect what they mean is they can't afford another without impacting their lifestyle
Nick, 30@an0n_Nic
But this is exactly the point. The UK remains a great place to live when you’re on £50k, paying little tax, spending very little. If you actually earn a high salary, it’s not such a great place relative to the effort of earning a high income when ~60% goes on tax.

I've said it before to almost anyone that will listen: if you expect several more degrees of global warming, you should be buying land in the Wolds of East Yorkshire (the most northwesterly red dot here), where the stream of chalky earth that predominates in Champagne ends.

Many of the European regions that are suitable for wine-growing in 2025 weren't so in 1960. Rising temperatures will continue to shift these growing regions.
