Thanks, but you may want to unfollow. This is a very, very strange a/c. Summary below.

Or maybe not.
I've not seen this 'advert' to which they refer, but it sounds as if someone called Johnlewiserf has moved to Wülferhampton and is trying to muscle in on my rootveg trading monopoly. This will not end well*

Dodgy suppliers, eh? Just ordering myself a nice e-bike (too many hills around here) & they are offering Worry-Free (TM) delivery for £20 extra

I believe that if there are any problems with non-delivery or damage in transit then that's already their problem, under the various Distance Selling Laws

For some weeks I've been watching the activities of a small garden spider I've called Albert, who has made his home across my back door. I can't use the back door now.

I'm now looking at buying a small tube greenhouse heater for the back porch so that he/she won't freeze.

Am I losing it?

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS!

The management of ÞNCB is pleased(?) to announce that we have a new resident popular beat combo to "entertain" our customers.

"V.J.* Spade and the Hoes" will be performing nightly from tomorrow

* Vegetable Jockey - he's our lead digger. The guys with the hoes back him up.

I disagree. In a true democracy the people don't need to take to the streets to complain about the actions of the government. This is what a yearning for democracy looks like. Hopefully the USA will come out of this with a system which gives the people real control over their government. #NoKings

Why I love Wülferhampton No. 512

It ignores silly C21 technology.

I'm really pissed off with Radio 3's constant adverts* for 'Smart speakers'. Why do I want to talk to a speaker? What's wrong with clicking 'play'?

Here, a 'smart speaker' is Minky explaining the concept of 'writing'.

@wulfhelm.bsky.social A repost of this would be appreciated. Unfortunately I can't provide a link to the page that shows the actual petition as the website doesn't allow it unless 5 people have signed it.

I like living in the 7th century. Life is so much simpler, if tending towards the brutal and short. We have root vegetables, rat kebabs & dangerous potables. What more could we want?

Just seen this icon via the temporal anomaly. What does it mean? I've seen similar graffiti near the Latrine Pit.

Those of us working in the retail trade in Mercia are aware of the economic difficulties facing many of our customers. At Rootveg'R'We we already try to help with our buy 3 for the price of 4 deals. Now we're offering extended credit! Simply pay a 100%deposit and the remaining 50% over 48 hours.

I hope they strip-searched him on the pavement to check he didn't have a suicide vest under that jacket? That's the sort of thing terrorists do, isn't it?

Curious musings of a vegetable retailer no.3387

Why are people allowed to refer to Peanut 'butter'? Thanks to pressure from the milk-growers, we have to call Oat Milk "processed white liquid with oats", and vegan can-believe-its-not-butter as 'Vegan block', so why 'Peanut butter', not peanut gloop?

Well, the annual putting-the-sprouts-on-to-boil in the Mead Hall in October is a pretty decisive turning point.
So if hack journalists or lazy historians are to be believed were there any events in Anglo-Saxon history that weren't a "....decisive turning point in English history, paving the way toward a unified kingdom."?

My family aren't all hard-working entrepreneurs, working 24/7 to earn an honest crust in the root vegetable, brassica, gin and ratsmeat trade. We have a few black sheep, like cousin SoberSerf, an itinerant Temperance preacher. He's just arrived in Wülferhampton for a rest (& to let his wounds heal)

Once we had posties who delivered stuff

Now we have Evri, & trying to find out when or if your parcel will arrive has a serious touch of Zen about it

I know what postcode the parcel SHOULD be delivered to, but how can I know the postcode it will ACTUALLY get delivered to until it's been delivered?

If defacing mini roundabouts with red paint is a response to 'reasonable concerns', then so is defacing planes with red paint. Can't pick just one.

Sherlocke eat your heart out! Last night I was reading a bedtime story to the orphans about the adventures of the great Viking* detective Hërcules Parröt and one of the little darlings pointed out that there were earlier, REAL, great detectives, and showed me this example from 835

Looks like being a busy week ahead in Wülferhampton. I think some of the younger happy, smiling orphans were hoping for a day off for the Bank Holiday, but I had to point out they are in Mother Turnip's Sunshine Home, not the Bank of Mercia. Also, we need to make groats while the sun shines

They omit to add: and they will deliver it on Tuesday to someone 37 miles away in a house with a different name and postcode.
