#TheArchers What #AshtonHayes #Cheshire does today Ambridge does tomorrow. We got a community shop and Ambridge followed suit. We have recently as a community taken over our village Pub if Lillian removes her money how about the village of Ambridge taking over the Bull?

I’m old enough to remember when magazines like “Woman’s Own” sent private answers to certain questions and sex was the “intimate side of marriage”

A local hotelier in #FortAugustus told me that he’d seen something large and black just breaking the surface. No coils, though. He reckoned that the #LochNessMonster was a #sturgeon Nessie not Nicola

Two things I liked on “You know where” was the ability to compile private lists and the ability to soft block unwanted followers.

My echo was literary. “The Beast is slowly making its way to Jerusalem”. Immediately thought of #WBYeats “Second Coming”.
