Can’t they share the management of Home Farm in blissful harmony for the greater good? 😉

What kind of political party regards leaking Zoom footage as a worse offence than taking bribes from Russia?

If anyone in the Royal household has even played with the thought that the institution needs to be protected by protecting Andrew, the whole thing needs to be dismantled.

Unless mortgaged to the max? And even under current tax rules IHT payable. Talking of which did Peggy’s estate escape IHT because of charitable bequests? My memory befuddled as all anyone ever discusses is the ridiculous and probably unenforceable holiday nonsense which could of course be varied.

Why did Brad knock himself out keeping George’s business going if he wasn’t going to pick it up and really make something of it now he’s out? #TheArchers

I searched West Midlands, though presumably the Ambridge Protection Dome had to be pierced especially to allow the land valuers in….

Clearly a manufactured anti-football story designed to undermine the god given right for any sport (but especially soccer) to be pursued above lily livered public safety concerns.

£80 per acre 1952-58, I see from Savills web page.

So he bought the freehold with magic beans? Seriously, do we know the history of how it was acquired, from whom, how much paid etc.etc..

Fabulous number of figs this year. Can’t move for squished figs on footpath- stood on one a few weeks ago wearing flip flops and the wasp slurping up its pulp was very cross……

Perhaps the IHT changes in U.K. will mean farms being split up inter vivos amongst children regardless of gender?

Starting to look like that, and given the OrangeFruitCake has “moved on” is it time for UN to support multiple nations agreeing to invade Gaza and impose some form of cessation of hostilities? After all international law seems to be do last century…..

There is no ceasefire. It’s a PR stunt, just like the last one. Please don’t believe what the Zionist occupiers and their enablers tell you.

Could just about say she has learnt from decades of personal experience how to spot a bad’un. But that is probably a bit too generous an explanation that she just doesn’t like the little shit.

Is anyone assembling the evidence of Trump’s own words clearly evidencing that he is totally bonkers? He must be impeachable, not least because he seems to be keen to challenge anyone suggesting he isn’t fit to be POTUS.

He means “Colombia”, like the country.

(Not “Columbia”, like the university.) 🤡

Oh god I am afraid you may be right that the Mulligan story has months of discussion and twists, before it is revealed that the invention of a farm never mentioned in 70 years of the Archers is totally implausible. BTW a little old fashioned isn’t it to think Josh would “get” his wife’s farm?

And who is miraculously going to be able to afford to buy the Farm With No Name? There could be months of tedium in that storyline.
