@London_W4 That’s Shelduck Holmes, on the case of The Speckled Hen.

And I bought this from the village shop next door to this pub in England. It’s Sherlock Holmes. There’s a reason they sell Sherlock Holmes ducks in this village. Only very educated people will know the reason though. So there’s very little chance of a right answer here :)

@TimelessTrvlr London. We don’t have a car so I walk, cycle or use public transport. We have lost Zipcar, which is a big setback for the city in my view. For longer trips, rail or car hire.

Where would you move if you had to walk everywhere and own no car?

@SoVeryBritish Easy now, you’ll have someone’s eye out!

Favourite British way of telling someone to be calm? Mine is “settle down”

@BigBensw7 @narindertweets Sorry, I could wang on all day!

@BigBensw7 @narindertweets 😂

So, about those Eid prayers in Trafalgar Square. Some of you are gonna have a meltdown when you hear this.. What is that on Nelsons hat and where did it come from?

@BigBensw7 @narindertweets Europe at that time was enthralled by ‘the east’ and it is very likely that Nelson, whilst not a Muslim himself, said ‘kismet’, a Turkish word for fate, and not ‘kiss me’ in his dying words to Hardy.

@WestcottMark @narindertweets Next they'll be saying Nelson was secretly a muslim.

@narindertweets @BigBensw7 @narindertweets It was, in effect, a gift from one empire to another to commemorate the defeat of a third wouldn’t you say?

@narindertweets @BigBensw7 On the statue’s hat is the standard naval officers’ cockade of the time. It’s a symbol of loyalty to the Hanoverian king and not the chelengk, although he did wear that at times. Pedantic I know. Nelson’s actual chelengk was stolen from Greenwich in 1951 and never recovered btw.

@NoContextBrits It has to be back bacon with a UK fry up, but I prefer crispy streaky bacon with scrambled eggs. I don’t think back bacon works with a US breakfast however, streaky bacon with pancakes and syrup and eggs over medium for me.

Why though?

@Phil71427755 @lady_valor_07 I used to phone my now wife if I’d been on one. She ask me the nearest street sign then navigate me to the best tube to get me home - hoping autopilot would then kick in!

@WestcottMark @lady_valor_07 Could one still safely get shit faced somewhere in Covent Garden till 3:00 a.m. then stagger a few hundred meters to Bobby after Bobby asking for directions to Piccadilly cuz you're too drunk to remember what the last Bobby told you. I did that for six nights. Doubt I can today

What’s preventing you from visiting London

@femalebodybuil6 Saab

Without using Google - Name ONE thing from Sweden

@Phil71427755 @lady_valor_07 I live in London. It’s great, and that bus is actually en route to close to my house.

@lady_valor_07 I had one of the best weeks of my life in London in 1984, but the jihadis have ruined your country. I'll never set foot in England again.

@JaxIsImmortal @Aestheticsn1 Bologna, Emilia Romagna, Italy. The food there is superb yes.

@WestcottMark @Aestheticsn1 bologna?😭

Name a city without letter E Can you?

@badgerbob8 @Aestheticsn1 Blackburn has a cathedral - not quite the equal of Lincoln, but not bad for a non city. York has a minster. Durham, a cathedral.

@WestcottMark @Aestheticsn1 Blackburn and Bolton are towns, mate Think of football teams, eg, Bradford, Bristol, Birmingham, Lincoln etc

@Justsayingcats @Discworld101 @Aestheticsn1 OK, let’s take Bolton out of my list and put Salford in instead.

@WestcottMark @Discworld101 @Aestheticsn1 Bolton isn't a city, mate

@Frances_Coppola Wiganer. Fond of a meat and potato pie.

St George was a Palestinian who never set foot in England.

@Hux1688 Heysham, Lancashire.

@Frances_Coppola From?

@Discworld101 @Aestheticsn1 Not sure about Bolton tbh.

@WestcottMark @Aestheticsn1 Are they all cities?

@Date_Um_Sage @Aestheticsn1 The UK one got a bomber named after it. That’ll do for me.

@WestcottMark @Aestheticsn1 Halifax, Nova Scotia I hope and not the town.

@bit_saint @Aestheticsn1 Northampton!

@WestcottMark @Aestheticsn1 Southampton
