If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies.

I'm fan of pubs and of dogs and rarely visit a pub without my dog. I'm also aware that not everyone likes dogs and I am happy to see a clear set of dog rules which helps dog owners to know what is expected of them/their pooch and everyone can enjoy the pub together! #pubdog

V interesting to read about the complex methodology for interactive map.
Assumptions on travel speeds in Roman Empire:
Walking 4 km/h
Ox cart 2 km/h
Pack animal 4.5 km/h
Horse courier 6 km/h
Major navigable rivers: 2.5 km/h for downriver and 0.6 km/h for upriver.

Nobody ever talks about how weird this was
![[Scene is a boardroom in the headquarters of the board game manufacturer, Parker Bros. The year is 1966]
1
[show exterior of a factory building with 'PARKER BROS BOARD GAMES' written on the top]
PARKER 1:
Ok brothers - a quick run through our manufacturing schedule...
2
[Switch to interior scene of the boardroom, in which the three Parker Brothers are having a meeting].
Parker 1:
So this year we'll be making: Monopoly, Cluedo, Risk, the portal to Hell thing,
Scrabble, and Tiddlywinks.
3
Parker 2:
What was that?
Parker 1:
Tiddlywinks!
Parker 2:
No the bit about Hell
4
Parker 1:
Ah yes - we're manufacturing ouija boards now
Parker 2:
What
5
Parker 2:
Parker… we make *board games*...
Parker 1:
Yes, Parker! And this is a great family board game which may or may not be a portal to the Other Place.
6
Parker 1:
You know, 2-6 players, summon a loved one, might be a daemon - great fun
7
Parker 2:
Whose idea was this?
Parker 1:
Well I believe it was... Mr Shimmer?
8
Parker 2:
Who is Mr Shimmer
[voice from off-scene]:
shimmmerrrrr...
9
[Cut to a figure who is also sat at the boardroom table. It is a horrifying eldritch wraith, eyeless, pale, with a gaping, hissing black mouth drawn open in a foul, silent, endless grimace]
Mr Shimmer:
*sssshimmmerrrrr*...
10
Parker 1:
Our new creative director! I met him at a seance, because it's 1966.
11
Parker 1:
Mr Shimmer says he hopes there may soon be a set in every home in the land!
12
Parker 1:
Come - shall we play?
[he shifts his body forward in his chair slightly, and we glimpse behind him the terrifying eyes of another demon sat behind him, a la this iconic bit in Insidious]

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...
![[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS]
1
NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]:
Hello there
2
[A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk].
DAD:
Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids?
3
NT EMPLOYEE:
Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail!
4
MUM:
That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids?
5
NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]:
Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot!
6
NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]:
Listen - that's their call
[Calls emanating from the landscape]:
tut-tut
woke-woke
7
NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]:
They are extremely sensitive and fragile...
But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery.
8
KIDS [pointing]:
There they are!
[Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure].
[Little people noises]:
woke-woke
tut-tut
woke-woke
9
[Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]:
Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house.
[Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]:
tut-tut
woke-woke
10
MUM [pointing]:
What's that one doing there?
NT EMPLOYEE:
Oh, that's so sweet…
11
[We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away].
NT EMPLOYEE:
I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph…
12
[We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]:
Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE?
