It's clearly too big for anyone to want as a home, so they become nursing homes, dr surgeries etc. The location is good, but not for a home approaching £1m. People seem to want huge houses with lots of bathrooms, small gardens and very close to the neighbours, in that price range

I thought I recognised the street name, but not as the next door property, no. It was 45 years ago, I am surprised I remembered anything about it!

The aerial view confirms it, small back yard as I remember it. How wonderful to see it again. Thanks! Ps the price...! One half of it was a bit over £10k when I was buying it

Oh, it could be the one I offered on then! It was a long time ago - the late 70s! It certainly looks like it from the front. Long front garden, small back, central door with big rooms either side. It was a truly massive house

You're right, no way! I've just seen that's a detached house, the one I offered on (but changed my mind) was exactly like that but two semis

O ffs I nearly bought that decades ago, before the cost of heating was such an issue.

Because I worked with them, and Eve on them, from 1970 to 75. I'm reliving it now 😊

That's the original 1950s prototype that EE were trying to flog on the continent, hence the continental look. 22 of the final design were bought by BR eastern region and ran for twenty years on the east coast main line before being replaced by HST (class 43). Deltics are my thing because...

Nope I'm too far behind for updates. I will catch up via the omnibusses. Check out the DPS YouTube channel for some fab videos. You might even see me in the odd one #deltic youtube.com/@delticprese...

Better thanks. Spending a lot of time with my locos. A long way behind with #thearchers

Beans on toast with crumbled stilton. Like Kimcheese, a variant of a simple dish that's quite the revelation

Pip is portrayed as the most selfish character in Ambridge and there's strong competition for that title #thearchers

I should volunteer there. Put on a hiviz vest and you're soon pretty much surrounded by tourists 😁 #thearchers

Yes, Jill was always going on it, possibly with Peggy and Chris. I'm sure it's still there, heritage is big business now #thearchers

Anna, the legal expert, doesn't know that bats are a protected species.. I'm sure all the tweetalong knows 😅 #thearchers

If you want to enjoy yourself talking to tourists Natasha you need to get onto the heritage railway scene. Perhaps ask Tony for some lessons #thearchers

Rats being mistaken for spirits 😅 She's definitely winding Leonard up #thearchers

Come on Brian, it's not blackmail if he's asking you to keep to the bargain you made #thearchers

Wax cotton is the full name, as demo'd by me #thearchers

I've missed the tweetalong for four months but today I'm going in. Wish me luck! #thearchers

Thanks. Improving I think. Getting out a lot more than I used to

LinnR @linnr.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Two weeks ago, I hadn't set foot on this loco for 50 years. Now I'm back here polishing it. Dreams do come true 😁

A rice bowl today lightly spiced with Ras el hanout. Tasty

He wouldn't in real life - as I said, killing two people only resulted in a few months in jail, 4 iirr

Not what happened, unfortunately. He didn't give a fig for what he'd done, just that he'd lost his driving licence for a couple of years. As I said, overprivileged, rich, young. Just awful

And it could have been us, we were alongside them at traffic lights but accelerated ahead to join the advance group. That's what saved us.

An immature and overprivileged young driver caused the deaths of two friends of mine and was jailed for just a few months. It's just awful what the old boy network can achieve #thearchers

Yes, quite the contrast, but Brian has always been a villain and Emma, not exactly a saint, but not on Brian's level at all #thearchers

There's so much pleasure in volunteering for a cause close to your heart 💕

I'm only listening to the omnibus these days so I'm not on here much, but here's something I spotted at the Wroughton science museum facility #thearchers

Did you remember to put your clocks forward 1 hour last night?

No, I'm no longer tweeting regularly. Had a nasty surprise in January but I'm not ready to share it widely, sorry

Kimchi with everything

LinnR @linnr.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Not great thanks but I'll post here now and then

LinnR @linnr.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

You might like to zoom in on my new birthday mug 🙂 #thearchers

Agreed - foresee it being just as difficult for Amber as it was for Chelsea

120

LinnR @linnr.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Yes, exactly. Empirically a termination would be best for Amber in her specific circumstances. Yet, the speed with which they must make such a life-changing decision (terminate or carry to full term) is crippling to young women, as we saw with Chelsea. #thearchers

I think I know Claire through #thearchers The thinking woman's radio drama 😅

LinnR @linnr.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Yes, we did, but so long back i can't be sure. I think it was £10 million, when Brian was offering in the region of £5m #thearchers
