Taking the measure of things; hoping to measure up.

The History of the Town and Port of Faversham (1774) lists 12 additional variants of the town's name, as well as a few ideas of its derivation.
Note the use of the long s - ſ - in this 18 century book.

Late to commenting on this but the dismissive, scornful, almost amused tone Johnson uses to talk about people literally begging for their lives isn't just distasteful: it's depraved and sociopathic in a way I don't think we've seen from any leading politician in the UK before.

Seeing this made me say 'ouch'.

Farewell to the swifts. My @thetimes nature notes.

[John le Measurer @mount_rg]

That's certainly impressively baffling.
My grandad (of Kentish ancestry going back centuries) loved a game of cards and could reel off at will the rules of any game going: he never mentioned this one.

[kenticisms @kenticisms]

There is an old card game that was said to be popular in Kent called JACK RUNNING FOR SIZING. I can't pretend to entirely understand what is being described in this entry from "A Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words" (1855).

The utter utter perversion of this.

The idea that we need Voter ID to combat election fraud from a PM whose Brexit campaign LITERALLY COMMITTED ELECTION FRAUD is grotesque. It's an assault not just on our democracy, but the English language

I’m not entirely sure we live in a democracy any more. This is an authoritarian coup.
