@SocRepWxm @SamaHoole What do you think is writing all the posts?

Every English market town had, until about 1990, a Saturday that meant something. A Saturday in Hereford, 1962. High Town. Six in the morning the stalls are going up. By eight the first customers are arriving. By ten the place is heaving. The cheese stall. Norman runs it with his wife Joan. They drive in from a farm at Whitchurch in a Bedford van. The cheeses are stacked under a striped canopy. A wheel of Single Gloucester from across the Severn, a wheel of Double Gloucester from the same dairy, a wheel of farmhouse Caerphilly from the Welsh side of the border. Norman cuts you a corner to taste before you buy. The butcher's stall. The Tudor brothers from the family farm at Madley. The meat is from animals they raised themselves. The Hereford beef hung for four weeks in the cold store at the farm. The lamb is theirs. The pork from a pig fattened on whey from the dairy. The sausages were made on Friday morning by their mother. The fish stall. A man from Birmingham who drives down on Friday nights and is back by lunchtime Saturday. The fish is off the Grimsby boats the day before. He has cod, plaice, smoked haddock, kippers, and a tray of brown shrimps from Morecambe Bay. The greengrocer. Vegetables from three farms within ten miles. Apples in season from an orchard at Putley. Plums from a man at Tarrington. Asparagus from the riverbank field at Eardisland for six weeks in May. The egg lady. Sits on a folding chair behind a trestle table covered with brown eggs in boxes. Mrs Powell from Bromyard. Twenty boxes, gone by eleven, never any left. The baker. Hot loaves brought in from the wood-fired oven at his bakehouse in Bishops Frome. The smell carried halfway across the square. Time to do the week's shop: about an hour. Food miles: in the low double digits. Stallholders you would still see at the school nativity in December: all of them. In 2026 the High Town Saturday market in Hereford still technically runs. Six stalls. Phone cases, second-hand books, an artisan candle pitch, a man selling olives from a tub. The cattle market that used to feed it was closed in 2011 and the site is now a £90 million shopping centre called, with no apparent irony, The Old Market. It contains a Costa, a Subway, a TK Maxx, a Waitrose, and a vape shop. The market still exists. It is in its last decade. If you live in a market town: go on Saturday. Buy from whoever is left. Tell them you'll be back. That is the entire intervention required.

@TiggywinklesUK My back garden is riddled with them

🦎This slow worm was caught by a cat, suffering painful puncture wounds and dropping the tip of its tail while trying to escape - a defence mechanism used by many reptiles. After antibiotics, pain relief and specialist care, this harmless legless lizard made a great recovery 💚🌿

@29Newton You haven't even had the scandal yet. Take that before the relaunch.

First things first we aren't a global brand now we been relegated so let's revert back to our original badge and fuck the London off

@9mmsmg Definitely, egg yolk should be considered a condiment

The perfect egg is over easy. When I say over easy, I mean very easy. A quick flip just to solidify the whites. Maybe 8 total seconds in the pan with the burner off. The yolk should run all over the plate when pierced. I always see sad eggs online. Fried hard with everything crispy, and the yolk basically hard boiled. Why would you do something so terrible? It's like a well-done filet mignon. I'd write about my disdain for egg whites alone, but it's still early, and I don't want to ruin my day. An example of the perfect egg below:

What we getting lads

@AvonandsomerRob Lot of people in that 40 mile commute bracket, whom it's currently good for.

Electric vehicle drivers online like to quote their home charging rates to wind-up ICE motorists. The reality, however, is somewhat different. Usable range of the majority of EVs is under 250 miles, or about £30 of petrol in the average modern ICE car. The reality is that unless you are a granny that only uses your car to go to Tesco, or you have a simple daily 40 mile commute, you're going to be using public chargers half the time. Your EVs sat nav does a very good job of building in charging stops into long journeys, and to be even more clever, it tells you if someone is plugged into the charger, or if it's available. Now here's where the fun ends. Firstly, a lot of supermarket chargers, which have the lowest rates, are out of order for long periods. You'll easily be able to get on a 7 or 22kw charger, but with supermarkets having a 2 or 3 hour parking limit, you'll be lucky to get 100 miles of charge during that time. If someone is plugged into the other chargers in the car park, this reduces your charging speed even further. In short, forget supermarkets. Other options include BP Pulse, fitted at most Co op stores, but many of these are out of order too, and charge a whopping 93p per kwh. That works out about 30 to the gallon in petrol language. Instavolt & Ionity are also expensive but fast and reliable. You'll get 70kwh charge on a 160kw charger, enough to pump 100 miles top up in just 15 minutes. They are situated at Starbucks and many retail parks. Also 93p kwh, so about 20% more expensive than petrol. EV owners don't charge their cars from 5 to 100% on the road, they just top up from 30 to 60% as its expensive, just enough to get you home. Once you get tired of expensive charging, you might want to consider a wall box, these charge at 7kw, and will fully charge your car overnight in about 10 hours. Average cost is £2k, including installation. So make sure you're going to run an EV permanently to make it worth it. Having spoken to many owners whilst charging, those with home chargers still often choose the public option for speed and convenience. As for the cars themselves, they actually don't drive any different to an ICE car, although they usually feel more powerful under acceleration. Motorway cruising is quieter with just tyre noise. They feel more modern, and you feel like you are part of a major technological change in society when you're driving one. But don't think you'll be doing all your charging for a fiver a tank at home. Life isn't so mundane that you won't need fast charging for certain trips, or that you'll forget to charge at home before a business meeting. My take - I wouldn't buy one outright with my own money yet, but I'd take one over an ICE car as a company or lease car. The latest tech is an exciting sea change, as important as the invention of the PC. After all, that £500 a month you'll save on company car tax due to a 4% BIK rate, can buy you a lot of Starbucks while you're waiting at a charging station..

@Strixxy_coc I did just that. Was pretty pissed, but the defences was a bad choice apparently. While all dragons and totem spells is the best option it will stay like that.

This is truly disappointing, hit 27/30 and still couldn't promote to legend 1 It doesn't even matter how good you are at offense if defense decides to f**k you up its just over, you're cooked and fr its easier to stay in legend 1 than to actually get into it😭😡

@shotsmanic @kelvmackenzie Sounds pretty fair

@kelvmackenzie Replacement of watch lens and bent minute hand on cheap watch of mine was over £50 at this retailer but online £10. I would have had to fit it myself with a device and retailers know this so have got customers by the straps so I threw watch away.

Delighted to see the Timpson family received nearly £22million in dividends last year ( up 50%- weep your heart Burnham) driven by an 18% jump in its car key business and a huge rise in watch repairs, now twice the size of its shoe repairing side. Timpsons staff have one thing in common with politicians ; 10% were ex-criminals.

@DorkSirjur So many of these DJ have passed away, RIP. it's sad

Final mix for today is a superb mix by an absolute don, 29 years ago: This is Tony De Vit (RIP) - Pure Regression Live In Ibiza 1997 Released as part of a double pack with a (very fake) Sasha tape, this is 100 minutes of trancey hard house. Absolute legend. Tracklist in comments. Mixes on Kofi shortly 👇🔥👇

Daughter runs over her mother, after an argument, pinning her to the garage wall with the car. When cops get there she takes off . Chase ensues.. Is it wrong that I enjoyed every minute of watching her crash out, get tased and arrested? What is going on in this world? Insanity, drugs, possession ?

@VirginaRay57067 @domdyer70 It'll be closer than that. In the same couple of streets. Hope a tiger gets them.

@domdyer70 Do you know the address? These type criminals (rapists, animal abusers) usually work a three mile radius from their home.

OVER a dozen “dismembered” cats have been found floating in a pond of an abandoned house sparking fears they could be the victim of a serial killer. Paula Singleton discovered the 16 dead cats while searching for her own missing moggies in the garden of a home up for sale in Canley, Coventry, last Sunday.

@JeremyTate41 Rented the leaning over house for the weekend once.

This is the best preserved medieval street in Europe. Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, The Shambles in York, England has had shops trading on it for nearly a thousand years. It's older than the Crusades.
