@MatDenham @SoVeryBritish My son used to sing "who do you think you are kidding Mr Piglet"
English

@SoVeryBritish In the theme to Dad’s Army, until last year I sang “Mr. Brown goes off to town, and he ain’t 21” when of course it should be “Mr Brown goes off to town, on the eight twenty-one”. Am I showing my age??

@Barmcakemark @AlistairBurtUK I think you'll find he was one of those cleared out.

@AlistairBurtUK You were happy to let bunter cleanse your party of decent Tories!

@BootstrapCook I'm genuinely interested, how much cheese do you get for 50p?
English

@Katey_Lovell @Anna_Mainwaring That was the point. Also only ringing someone after 6pm (cheaper) unless it was unavoidable.

@Anna_Mainwaring You say obvs, but does the hall lend itself to a long conversation?🤔

@georgettedaily I almost didn't look because invariably when there are these offers I get told I already have the book. Not this time, yippee.

@g_gosden While definitely no fan of Truss it looks like the definition of an old boys network. 2 other women standing alone being ignored.

7. Hero you want to marry
Not the one you fancy (that’s in the next set), but who’d be the best husband. I’m #TeamFreddy myself.
Perhaps a dependable Gervase, a HUGO with a deplorable sense of humour?
Who should be on the poll?

@georgettedaily Her husband was actually 2 years older, maybe it was her son she saw.

Well look at that! My two favourites

D. E. Stevenson in a 1972 letter, being just a tiny bit gossipy about her one meeting with Georgette Heyer.

@CurrysServices giving me anodyne responses, thanking me for patience and understanding - making me crosser and crosser.

@Currys @CurrysServices @currysplc Very disappointed with you. I received an @ASUS laptop for Christmas but it was faulty. Because my husband bought it just over your 28 day replacement period you will not give me a replacement but have sent it for repair (14-28 days).

@drphiliplee1 @ChelwestFT What's the deal with sotrovimab? Is this staring to be used in the vulnerable group yet and are we able to get it to them quickly enough?
English

Afebrile, mostly nasal symptoms, taking Lemsip

@artbyailbhe @lingthusiasm Watch on is my pet hate but so ubiquitous I no longer shout at the TV when I hear it.
English

When did "watch on" come into use? It used to be "watch" or "look on" but, like "on accident," it seems to have changed. @lingthusiasm
