Coleton Fishacre's Easter theme has been Insect Superheros. In the house we've been highlighting the villains which attack our collection. I thought some people might get a giggle out of our fab caricatures.

The private company Restore Trust is now circulating a fundraising email asking for 'donations' & claiming that only 15,887 National Trust members voted against their Quick Vote resolution this year. This is not true. *69,715 members voted against it and it was defeated.* Pls RT

@susie_dent We still use it, but I've never found anyone else who uses it or knows what it means/where it comes from

@susie_dent My granny's family use 'pally ann' and we have never been sure where it comes from (the family were in Yorkshire, there's a theory it's from misheard French). It's hard to define exactly what it's used for, but if someone is being contrary they often get "well pally ann then".

Which words or expressions have your parents and grandparents passed on to you? My mum still calls me a ‘contrary Mary’ and often references her ‘giddy aunt’, while my gran loved telling me she ‘couldn’t give a tinker’s cuss’. How about yours?

@LizGibbons15 Unfortunate juxtaposition (or maybe the twitter algorithm has a sense of humour?)

Why do Tory MPs keep saying ‘that’s not what we’re hearing on the doorstep’ no one ever knocks on my door and asks my opinion- anyone out there spoken to an MP on the doorstep lately?

@sacha_coward @Pixar There's an episode of The Librarians featuring various versions of Father Christmas (somewhere in season 1).

So hey @Pixar. 👋🏼 A film where all the myriad identities of Santa (Woden, Jólnir, St Nicholas, Christkind, Father Christmas, Christmas past, Papa Noel) are fractured and have to be put back together?
Sacha Coward@sacha_coward

The cheery fellow with a belly like a bowl full of jelly has an ancient convoluted history. As well as the sound of bells one can associate his distant past with thunderous storms at sea and the cracked screech of ravens. Let’s go on a journey to the birth of Santa Claus! 1/
