Once again Ambridge is in a microclimate. While the rest of the country is sweltering and talking about nothing else, Ambridge is enduring a storm and talking about milking parlours #TheArchers

The arrest of HRH Prince Andrew has been a uniting event in this country. The improved mood of the nation is palpable. Perhaps arrests of Royals should be a regular occasion. My vote would be for Kate Middleton and her husband next and then, maybe, Parker-Bowles

My theory is that even the script writer don’t know whodunnit. The producers are in the midst of wage and contract negotiations with the cast and are holding the potential of guilt and a long custodial sentence and a potential new voice on release over them as they seek tighter deals #TheArchers

Wasn’t Shula recently in Ambridge? We never actually heard her but, surely, she must be a prime suspect. #TheArchers

The detective’s state of knowledge of all the goings on of all of Ambridge’s residents so soon after the event, points to her being a fairly dedicated listener to #TheArchers

So when she ditches George, will Amber make a play for Brad? #TheArchers

Not helpful to George and the Chaplain right now, but if George thinks everyone in Ambridge dislikes him, he should take a look at the posts on here.😲 #TheArchers

I’m just waiting for Joy’s ever developing backstory to reveal that she is the favourite daughter/sister of the kingpin of organised crime in the north east and for her father/brother to send his henchmen down to rescue the Bull. #TheArchers

I can’t help thinking that Brad is onto something with Amber’s change of appearance. Is it conceivable that Amber is trans? #TheArchers

There appears to be a mental health crisis in Ambridge. Perhaps the village shop should forget about ice creams for dogs and start stocking happy pills. Maybe Freddie could help. #TheArchers

The Peggy Archer Memorial Holiday gives wonderful scope for a massive disaster to wipe out a whole slew of odious characters. Sadly Natasha and Helen would probably walk out of the coach crash unscathed. #TheArchers

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Why keep donating to www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding... now we’ve reached our £10k target? Well, why not? It’s an arbitrary count. What counts is the positive impact we can make- and surely the bigger the better, if at all possible? Thank you for the donations and shares. We’re doing some good.

The Clarion Movement wasn’t just about cycling or rambling—it was about freedom, equality, and community! What started as a group of passionate cyclists & ramblers in the late 19th century grew into a powerful force for social change This Frid at Warkworth & Sat Kirkgate Arts Centre Cockermouth.

The Clarion Cycling Club, named after the popular socialist ‘Clarion’ newspaper, was established in Birmingham #OnThisDay 1894. Members used their cycling trips to circulate socialist literature and support socialist election candidates.

Not surprising that these numbers are so low given the stories GB likes to tell about itself. I’d be curious if there were any questions in this survey about slavery *in* Britain, and how many people know about that… www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Most Britons do not know scale of UK’s involvement in slavery, survey finds
Vast majority unaware how many people were enslaved and for how long, although poll finds support for reparations is rising

Surely, after the initial emergency action, the response to the #poonami on #TheArchers should have been 1. Call Fire Brigade 2. Call insurers 3. Call water company The insurers should be able to help mitigate the loss with cleanup specialists.

Explore royal or historic sites, tick off landmarks from your bucket list, eat and drink in exclusive Michelin-starred restaurants, enjoy a pint in a traditional pub, or get lost down winding cobbled streets and see what you stumble across – when it comes to London, the possibilities are endless.
