@bysianharrison On another May I interest you in Strand, the throughfare in central London. Regularly but incorrectly written with the definite article. I feel we can blame Stanley Holloway's music hall song lyrics for that. Not legal-related but interesting all the same - possibly.

"Taking the stand" is American and should be filed under "does not exist" along with gavels when it comes to reporting on courtrooms in England and Wales. We enter the witness box here. Probably an entirely futile post, but then most are 🤷‍♀️

@theiaincameron Nice grammatical explanation. In London, the famous thoroughfare, Strand, regularly attracts the definite article, which is, of course incorrect. Let's blame Stanley Holloway's music hall song for the inconsistency!

Sometimes all you have to do is look at a country’s borders and know it’s got a bonkers past. The Gambia in Africa —one of only two countries in the world to possess the definite article— is a study in colonial carve-ups and historical quirk. 🇬🇲 1.

@Hoang_HQ This also happens at the JAL check-in desks at London Heathrow, usually just before check-in opens. It's a show of respect, something that you find on Japanese trains, in shops and elsewhere. Oh that that culture was echoed elsewhere.

Japanese respect for the customer is not just about a polite greeting; it is a deeply rooted philosophy that permeates the entire society. If we were to summarize it in one term, it is "Omotenashi".🇯🇵💖

There seem to be lots of book stacks & layouts of book choices on tables as recommended reads for 2026 or this month or any other reason. So I thought I'd add to the recommended book stack with 'This Is Not My Land: 30 Years on a Small Cotswolds Farm', published last week. #books

@HollyOMahony It's unusual for me to commend a critic, but your review of Black Sheep in The Stage is a superb piece of writing, especially the ending. Nicely done.
