something that ultimately couldn’t fit neatly into the image i was building but something interesting is that in like 2021 mary berry did a spot on the “ploughman’s lunch” which is a “traditional” english lunch invented by dairy advertisers in the 50’s
And gosh we love a @m01r4.bsky.social piece around here. Do you have a soft spot for some of the pioneers of modern cooking television? The most influential ones have some...interesting life paths.

Getting closer to doing a full Tanith Lee chronological read. One of the best SFF authors not enough people know about. But one who clearly all the British Invasion writers were reading.
u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.
i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts

Robin of Sherwood: a Robin Hood adaptation so good that they took the problem of losing Michael Praed, the titlular Robin of Locksley, and DOCTOR WHO'ed it with his replacement Jason Connery play Robert, Earl of Huntington, reconciling both versions of Robin, the Yeoman AND the Nobleman in one show
