@chefsevenn Mum let us reject one or two things we really didn't like, but wouldn't allow us to be picky as a habit. She'd often give us a small serve of a hated thing, saying "just try it" but didn't mind if we left it

@WeirdMedieval There's a beautiful illustrated children's book of that song by a US artist called Peter Spier

@MorningCoffe125 @Logo_Daedalus William Blake: "...A truth that's told with bad intent/beats all the lies you can invent..."

@RWApodcast I remember reading a lovely Russian book of short stories from the soviet era, called The Smell of Bread & Other Stories, by Yuri Kazakov

@EveTbird86 @paul_jkrause I'm glad you've mentioned Morse. I'm surprised he took so long to show up

[Olwyn Stewart @olwyn11]

@wekatweets Well done, given the rather tricky word

[Olwyn Stewart @olwyn11]

@wekatweets @Anni_24_ But very easy to learn to spell

@madisonclaccy9 How would you shower there? Stand on the toilet? Crouch in the wash basin?

@megievalist A Smuggler's Song by Rudyard Kipling - not too demanding but full of evocative images

[Olwyn Stewart @olwyn11]

@hibanoorie If it's in the US, Nutella (top right corner) wasn't sold there until the '80s

@ronsterd89 There was a yellow all-purpose soap that came in large bars. It was called velvet soap in Australia and sunlight soap in New Zealand - I don't know what name it had in other places

@muheediva01 Here's something that greatly improves broccoli: soak it in plain cold water for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Whether you steam it stir fry it, it ends up with a fresher, much nicer taste

@spacefish2 @MrEArts1 @Strange_G Richer flavoured than Vegemite, and a bit more gluey in texture than either Vegemite or marmite. I took it up as a teenager, probably as a bit of an affectation back then, but have grown attached to it over the years

[Olwyn Stewart @olwyn11]

@MrEArts1 @Strange_G I confess to being a Promite favourer. There has to be others or no one would sell it

@LanieASassyVet Fridge magnets were first patented in 1970. I doubt they were around in 1954
