Telegraph (£) Leasehold reforms could take five years. “That is more complicated than it sounds” says housing minister Matthew Pennycook. Simplify things and get on with it with it then, for Gods sake! Are you a man or a minister in thrall to lawyers? https://t.co/gC0PZsvnZo

@culturaltutor @JeremyFarrar Oranges arrived in Europe c.10th century, but the ancient Romans had carrots, so why is the colour not called carrot? Turns out that ancient carrots were white and orange ones only arrived after the orange c.15th century.
