I love Slow Horses but there was a particularly infuriating bit of getting-London-trains-wrong in this week's episode. (Clearly done for filming logistics reasons, but still.)

@AissataSi You were very right! Love it. Why don’t we build bridges with houses on them nowadays?!

Loved it 💕

Superbe et émouvant survol de Paris au Moyen Âge : avec ses 200 000 habitants, nos ancêtres avaient bâti la plus grande ville d'Occident. Notez : - la facade peinte de Notre-Dame - le clocher de l'église Saint-Germain-des-Près, seul vestige de l'abbaye - le Louvre château-fort - les ponts habités Bravo à Grez Productions pour cet immense travail de reconstitution

@lib_urgh_al Jam spreads better on clotted cream than clotted cream on jam. I am in complete agreement with you
English
Sorry, but I still fail to understand the logical reasoning behind putting the jam on first.
The clotted cream is analogous to butter in the scone world.
Fight me

Devon has lost the scone wars. Basically everywhere in Britain uses the 'Cornish method' (i.e. jam first). Even in Devon itself, only 49% use the 'Devon method' (i.e. cream first), while 46% go jam first yougov.co.uk/society/articl…

@The_RHS I wonder if you can give some advice. We have a great magnolia grandiflora, but it has a spur from the bottom that is starting to squash other plants. We want to remove it, but worried about hurting the plant. What should we do?
English
@SavioConnects Yep! Absolutely. Although I think attempted blackmail might be another word for it…

@griffithsar And with that comes some scaremongering !!!

All this tells us is that there is horrendous income inequality in our country
