@MokumDenizen @VintiquesMark I think you’ll find ‘old dining room chairs’ are generally cheaper than IKEA!

@VintiquesMark As a progressive woke white elderly elitist luvvy, you wouldn't recognise a working class person if they slapped you around the head with one of those old dining room chairs you flog to other woke snobs for exorbitant amounts 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No

@tomaashby Oh 🤢

I was just told that Finns call mozzarella "Moomin meat" & I cannot unsee this

There’s a movement

@IanMcDo58127608 @Hickson1Chris French school three course lunches are cooked fresh every day on the premises. When my daughter started school there at the age of five we were given a weekly lunch menu every Monday, it was a revelation after school in London.

@Hickson1Chris I too was very impressed with the quality of food for school lunch. Didn't catch all of the programme but assuming the meals are not put out to tender to companies to profit orientated private companies

I’m no fan but I watched a bit of Marcus Wareing’s programme yesterday evening featuring food in Provence. He was astonished that primary school children happily ate eg pistou soup, calamari and lobster bisque and were so well behaved. It’s normal here, I found his reaction sad.

@carolvorders She’s my MP but rarely seen locally and her office closed a while ago. She’s being moved to a safer seat for the G.E. and has already shipped out but is now very visible in what will be her new constituency.

NEWS Michelle Donelan's libel costs (which we paid) were £34,000 and not £15,000 as first stated. Penny Mordaunt defended her vehemently when the issue came to light saying that Donelan not accepting her redundancy payment of £16,000 (for serving as Education Sec for THIRTY FIVE HOURS) showed "the Honourable lady's character" These Tories and their faux integrity eh? theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

@brownbowlerhat Marc once returned home very pleased with several ties he’d bought in a charity shop. He was disgruntled to hear that he’d actually bought his own ties back as I’d donated them previous week.

My mother has just presented me with a shirt she saw in a charity shop that she thought I'd like. I did, but as I rarely wore it, I put it in to the same shop last week. #thanksmum

@CLMillerAuthor Despite it being so familiar nothing can prepare you for the first sight of it. (I fed the cats with chicken legs from the buffet!)

Today a dream came true - and I got to visit Petra, Jordan… it was better then I ever dreamed! Even was the kids were mesmerised 🥰 Although their highlight was the scraggy car they found meowing at them! 🙄

@SarahsGarden12 Ronnie is a darling.

I used to work with dealers that knew him - they said he is a genuinely lovely man that knows his stuff. Dealers aren’t usually that lovely to each other so he must be the real McCoy. #antiquesroadshow

@arthistorynews ‘Un jour exceptionnel’ - the classic French explanation as to why somewhere is closed, usually accompanied by a gallic shrug!

When the rooms you’ve come to see in the Louvre are fermé.

@parcelforce You have delivered my parcel to the wrong address - the photo on the tracking is not my house. Why is it impossible to speak to a human being about this?

@DeclanBaseley @RagandBoneArts Great evening and fabulous venue. Well done Laura, Charlie and everyone at @RagandBoneArts

It was great to attend @RagandBoneArts No.7 Creative Space crowd funder launch event tonight! 🥂 If you want to help nurture local talent and add to Chippenham’s culture, then please consider donating to their crowd funder: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/no7creatives…

@baggottsilver My favourite is the cover all caveat ‘condition commensurate with age’ !

What fresh hell is this?! #Auctions #ConditionReport

@WickedVintageUK I once had a set of le Creuset saucepans taken from our gite when we lived in France!

sooooo....the speaker is missing from my airbnb. I just messaged the last guest to stay there. She replied, "Oh yes, I took that, oh I just assumed it had been left behind by another guest! Do you need it back"? Me:....."err, yah"!🙄🤦‍♀️ ffs.................................

@baggottsilver @BrokenBiros I once saw baked beans being loaded on to Weetabix at the breakfast bar at a hotel in Sri Lanka!

@BrokenBiros Aged 4 or 5 I was asked to a friends house for lunch. The family sat down at the table and proceeded to pass out dry Weetabix on the plates, plates? Then, in turn, they each started slathering them in jam, eating them like crackers. Still haven’t quite gotten over it.

@CLMillerAuthor She will be greatly missed. ❤️

A wonderful tribute on #bbcantiquesroadshow to my dear mum, Judith Miller last night. She loved being an expert on the show and loved her colleagues and guests. ❤️

@SmithysMaud @darrenpjones @TheBDA My daughter has had exactly the same experience, although they’re happy to take her back on as a private patient. She’s a student. There are no NHS dentists taking in patients in Wiltshire, Bath or anywhere within a 90 mile radius.

@darrenpjones @TheBDA My daughters dentist wouldn’t see her through covid, then discharged her as she hadn’t had a check up in two years?!! I’ve rang every dentist within a 35 mile radius and not one will take her on. Merseyside.

I continue to make the case against the privatisation of dentistry in England. Dental practices in Bristol are now removing their existing NHS patients, as well as not taking on any new ones. The Government suggests it’s a local issue. I wonder what @TheBDA thinks about that?

@caitlinmoran I’m astonished there’s a monastery in Brighton!

zomg this IS a head-scratcher. I would not know what to do with 17 monks.

@alrypar62 No worries at all, it was a strange kind of evening! I don’t look at twitter much these days hence the silence.

@HandofGloryUK Itvwas great to see you! I am sorry that I didnt make the effort to be a tad more chatty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
