The almost incalculable debt the country owed all of the women that took up roles in agriculture and manufacturing during the World Wars was largely repaid with a 'thanks for your efforts, the men are returning now, so get back to your kitchens' response. Beveridge has a lot to answer for.

How is it that the BBC continually overlooks that, because it is funded directly by our licence fees, all it creates and collects belongs to us. Of they want to drastically alter how media is made available to us, they need to ask us first.

I'll be in touch tomorrow with an order (can't promise 'large', but...) and...

I'm chill with emailing you a thing. What would you like?

The GLAM sector is properly under the cosh at present, yet you will find things of wonder and immersive engagement in even the humblest of museums. Please visit us, and help to keep our glorious and unique heritage and culture alive.

I knew I should have bet on her to place rather than win. I think the going was rather firm for her liking. Oh well, that's another half crown I won't see again...

2028, you say? That must be a VERY fast attack craft! 😁

It was a wonderful, inspirational evening! Congratulations to all (particularly the children) who worked so hard to make it happen. #longshopsoundmachine

Until recently, when we instigated a stricter entry policy (repaired the roof), the fascination of the objects in our Long Shop galleries was too much for the local avian community to resist. Once they were in, it was all we could do to drag them away.

Has the duck been demanding, too?
