McDonald’s would be open on a Sunday night. ( Actually I really like their plant burger. And their coffee’s not bad. But I don’t eat meat.) #thearchers

So what - exactly - did Brian's gift to Xander consist of, and why - allegedly - would Kirsty be pleased to receive it for rewilding? I am visualising a sort of Fisher Price thing. ( Or have I just not been paying enough attention, again?) #thearchers

“Would HAVE?????” “Would Have“ really annoys me : “Of” is not a verb. #pedantry #thearchers

Rosie is not Freddie’s niece. And neither is he her uncle. She is his cousin. Cousin kinship gets very complicated and I can never work out all these “removed” categories. But Rosie is definitely a cousin ( of some sort. ) #thearchers

When you appear on a zoom call with flags draped from your bookcase, no matter what party you represent, it just looks overstated and silly in my opinion. #conference

The planning officer in the family casually commented to me today: “Oh and if Lynda Snell wants a dog field she’ll have to get planning permission because it’s change of use..” They take #thearchers seriously in my family. It’s like they think it’s real…

If the far-right ever got into power they wouldn't bother with our normal systems of political and legal governing. They would tear the UK apart. You can be sure they wouldn't do anything to benefit the little people like you and me. #Farage #farrightextremism #Restore #Reform

Let me guess - one of Esme’s low grade fields will become a dog walking field and by a coincidence worthy of Thomas Hardy it, will become easily accessible from a road or footpath. #thearchers

Dog fields are a thing - I know someone who takes her 3 dogs to one. You book a slot and there’s a key code to open the gate. It seems an excellent idea BUT field don’t come cheap particularly where the land is high grad ag land #thearchers
