Morning 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏🏎️🏎️🏎️

@bysianharrison On another May I interest you in Strand, the throughfare in central London. Regularly but incorrectly written with the definite article. I feel we can blame Stanley Holloway's music hall song lyrics for that. Not legal-related but interesting all the same - possibly.

[Stuart Render @StuartRender]

@theiaincameron Nice grammatical explanation. In London, the famous thoroughfare, Strand, regularly attracts the definite article, which is, of course incorrect. Let's blame Stanley Holloway's music hall song for the inconsistency!

@Hoang_HQ This also happens at the JAL check-in desks at London Heathrow, usually just before check-in opens. It's a show of respect, something that you find on Japanese trains, in shops and elsewhere. Oh that that culture was echoed elsewhere.

@nerineskinner Nicely done Nerine.

[Stuart Render @StuartRender]

@nerineskinner Laughter from start to finish. Another tour de force from a naturally funny lady.

[Stuart Render @StuartRender]

A smile at a weekend.

[Jono Read @jonoread]

Brilliant from @chiwithaC. She has Jenny and Lee nailed on.

There seem to be lots of book stacks & layouts of book choices on tables as recommended reads for 2026 or this month or any other reason. So I thought I'd add to the recommended book stack with 'This Is Not My Land: 30 Years on a Small Cotswolds Farm', published last week. #books

[Caroline Mills @CarolineMills99]

Thank you @Countrylifemag for the lovely review of 'This Is Not My Land: 30 Years on a Small Cotswolds Farm', which launched last week, describing it as a 'gentle book'. Just right for reading by the fire on a winter's evening. #Oxfordshire #Cotswolds #naturewriting #slowtravel

@nerineskinner Merry Christmas Nerine. Hopefully get to see a show in 2026. Take care.

[Stuart Render @StuartRender]

@wisemandebbie Happy Christmas and a happy and musical 2026 to you Debbie.

[Stuart Render @StuartRender]

@EmiliePW Just wanted to wish you a happy Christmas Emilie, and a safe and musical 2026. All the best.

[Stuart Render @StuartRender]

@nerineskinner Yes, you can indeed do a national treasure. Nicely done Nerine.

[Stuart Render @StuartRender]

@NiamhAlgar Just finished watching the series. What fun was had. Very nicely done.

[Stuart Render @StuartRender]

As many have said, what a great story!

[Lucy @TheLucyShow1]

What a great story!!! 😃🚘

In 1966, 22-year-old Kathleen bought a VW Beetle she named “Annie.”

57 years and 400k miles later, Kathleen (now 78) still drives her to work every day.

When VW heard her story, they fully restored Annie for free.

When Kathleen saw her again, she said, “She’s my family. She’s just old, not useless.”

@HollyOMahony It's unusual for me to commend a critic, but your review of Black Sheep in The Stage is a superb piece of writing, especially the ending. Nicely done.
