@CalCarrie @Bbmorg @BenGrahamUK Eggs? Yes of course. Makes sense. Decorated eggs since 12th century. Chocolate eggs even, yes since the 19th century. Chocolate eggs mass produced by multi million pound organisations making huge profits out of the symbol of the resurrection? Nah.

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years. Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated. Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?

@Bbmorg @BenGrahamUK No direct reply to this I notice. As far as I know the word Easter has never been widely used in chocolate eggs because…. Guess what? They’ve got F*ck all to do with Easter.

@BenGrahamUK @alanreynoldswhu Can you tell me exactly when the word “Easter” was dropped? Because I have photos of some old Easter eggs from the 1970s and none of them have the word “Easter” on them. They always were and still are chocolate eggs. Can you tell me when the word was removed?

@MichaelSwanswan It’s more that I think I’ve hit a wall with them and don’t enjoy doing them like I used to. I would spend every spare minute on them, now I find excuses not to work on them. Maybe I’ll get it back but it’s not the same for some reason.

@RobBanks68 Ah ok. Was thinking ‘ The (second?) Brooking Month’ would be easy but you finding background music in 2003 that’s not irritating was the challenge. Hope you don’t feel like that about it for too long, loved (sometimes hated) them all going back to 1974 editions

@MichaelSwanswan Hi, I’m working on the Brooking caretaker games then Pardew will follow but I’m finding it a very hard slog. I used to really enjoy it but suddenly it’s all become a bit of a chore.

@WestHam_Central Should be a limit on the number of times you can switch coach during a season, or you can only do it in the transfer window. Otherwise teams just keep changing the manager until they get a reaction

@westhampremier I don’t know. The squad was still being added to and losing players at pace and then Roeder left so maybe they didn’t

@HollyRoeder1 I’ve been doing a series about your dad’s time at West Ham. This is the final part. I’m among those grateful for his contribution and feel he is badly treated by history I wanted this series to put that right. youtu.be/R-TB4f_Tjuc?si…
