@Stuart_Linnell @p817557 Sadly, Stuart, I qualify on either count.

@Stuart_Linnell @StephenMulhern Something to be proud of, Stuart, rather than ashamed. My current pet peeve is the common use of 'alternate' instead of the correct 'alternative'.

@sureed67 Let's just hope it's a totally unique occurrence.

@flupton One of those places where it seems you're always riding into the wind...

What's happened to Mick's accent? It wanders around the country - he used to be a Geordie....new actor? #TheArchers

@brainhaldorf Great pub at Linby...

@dgbailey @seanfarrington @Peugeot @bbc5live @BBCr4today Highlighted the tariffs vs take-up dilemma well, I thought.

@James1940 @RishiSunak In 1938, contrary to modern views of thinking in that period, we were ramping up Spitfire production (not easy - three times the hours it took to make a 109) and relocating strategic factories.

@James1940 @DefenceHQ ...and a large part of that 2.5% will go on replacing and running Trident - an unusable status symbol, reliant on US guidance support, that deters on-one. Not even Israel or France.

@Nynzi ...and sign her up to play for Ambridge CC while you're about it.

@flupton True enough Phil. But for once the old chestnut "This allows us to concentrate on the league" is actually the case.

[ianoliver @ianoliver]

@Stuart_Linnell Agreed Stuart! VAR slows the game down, stifles officials' real time offside calls, causes Premiership sides to play differently to other leagues', etc etc. Goal line calls perhaps - but even that is probably technological overkill - in how many games is that an issue?

@Appleandroidapp Sounded like an old Fawlty Towers script - one that was rejected. #TheArchers
