However a certain 7 year old local girl has reached the finals of a Facebook challenge to find a new face for "Kinder" chocolates, which I alluded to ,by error, earlier in the thread. Her first name being "Tatler" followed by the Father's name. I wish her well. At least it was a good magazine mum was reading at the time. No S&M smut please.    Report

Having discovered how to use the controls ,previously guarded by MrsE I have discovered much on the far reaches of the TV choice . But sometimes you have to watch fantasy. Not the Smith variety. Mostly old history we were never told about.....1920s as against the 1520's.    Report

I daresay there are lots of examples but the one that got up my nose this morning was this-  the office of coroner to Great Yarmouth, an office which has existed since the 15th Century or something is to be abolished. Fair enough- it doesn't get many inquests and a coroner's office covering a larger area will no doubt be more efficient. But the term for the new office area is given as "Greater Norfolk"! Not greater Norwich which in the days of suburbs etc is annoying but conveys some meaning, but Greater Norfolk. Surely somewhere is either in Norfolk or it isn't. I suspect they mean Norfolk with parts of NE Cambridgeshire- I bet Wisbech & district would be miffed to be termed Lesser Cambridgeshire or carelessly slipped into Norfolk. Pers'nally I find it an annoying and sloppy term.    Report

As if Disney had not done enough now the trustees of Milne's work have allowed a new "character" Lottie the Otter. Its not just pathetic ( dear Eeyore) it's messing about with a national institution,  and typical of now-greedy, lacking in imagination and originality and squeezing the last drop of cash out of the creativity of others.    Report
