It's Jane Austen's anniversary year! Once you've re-read all her wonderful novels, how about a cosy murder mystery featuring some of her characters? Find out who killed Mr Collins. Available in paperback, e-book and audiobook. #JaneAusten #cosycrime #PrideandPrejudice @honno

@YesCornwall Totally in agreement. I really hate these mindless, lazy anglicisations. Especially Llantwit Major, which should be Llanilltud Fawr.

[JonnyValleyBoy @JonnyValleyBoy]

Every single council and local authority in Wales should just refuse to pay it...

[Louise France @france_lou]

The Royal Family should pay reparations to the NHS

Head of state taking 11 million away from the service that’s vital for the health of their people.
Absolutely shameless.

[Lee Griff #IndyWales #FBIW🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @Griffpembs13]

The inevitable spread of far right hatred and media means that Wales and Scotland need to protect themselves against it urgently.
Separation from the UK will give us a barrier while joining the EU will give us security

[Annette Purdey Pugh @APurdeyPugh]

Now that a close relationship with the US would be morally inadvisable, it is more important than ever to restore our place in Europe. How about a mandatory new referendum every 10 years, starting the year after next?

people often say that wales isn't a colony 🤔

but there are six core features of colonialism. so let's put it to the test! ❌️

@NationCymru @DrJohnGeraint Can still remember the taste of my favourites, Dandelion and Burdock and Cherryade. They used to be in a crate on the floor in the local Post Office and we got a few pence back for returning the bottle.

@PatricProAuthor Go for it!

@ThatEricAlper I still use mine! It started off as my mum's - and I think quite a lot were my grandmother's before that. Some of them are brass buttons from my grandfather's WW1 uniform.

[Annette Purdey Pugh @APurdeyPugh]

@DonnaWarburton1 Yes, it seems newsreaders/presenters go to enormous lengths to get other names right, but just don't bother with Welsh.

[Annette Purdey Pugh @APurdeyPugh]

@arealmofwonder Are we really allowed only 2? I'll have to go for Pride and Prejudice (definitely), and Lark Rise to Candleford. I'd have picked the Forsyte Saga if it were the old one, and was tempted by Jane Eyre, but Lark Rise has several series and would keep me entertained for longer.

[JonnyValleyBoy @JonnyValleyBoy]

Every year I share this,

For those of you that haven't seen it before it was drawn by my Dad,

Who was there,

Not digging for coal,

But digging for children,

This is his abiding memory of that day,

He will never forget,

And nether should we...

Aberfan: 58 years that don't lessen the loss. On 21st October 1966, a coal tip collapsed, killing 116 children and 28 adults. Nobody lost their job, and money fundraised for the families was raided to clear the tip. We mourn the lives lost, and the price our valleys paid for coal

[Annette Purdey Pugh @APurdeyPugh]

@TedUrchin Oh dear. I'm 74 and I've been hoping for the same thing. As do, I suspect, a majority of voters now. However, this government weakly dismisses any return to the single market. So who would take us back in? I'm Welsh, so have to put my faith in Plaid.

@fife_benjamin The Tale of Samuel Whiskers. My grandmother nodded off very briefly just as the old rat was shouting 'Anna Maria' but she managed to keep the narrative going with a bit of improvisation in her sleep. Still miss her...

@rossaverde We've got ours next week (together with Covid). Had to phone the surgery to ask for them though. They seem to have given up notifying people.

@realeverywriter Unfortunately, in our house it's a type of necessity
