My dad’s ancestral home (until the 1930s), the Horseshoe Inn at Llanyblodwel is almost exactly on the border. Perhaps I can reclaim it.https://whatpub.com/pubs/SHR/4690/hor...
WHAT?!! ... reclaim it for Scotland, Lez Lee?!! ;o>
For puddled librarians er, I mean Liverpudlians.
A Scouse/Scottish/Welsh/English Watershed Pub?
This sounds like the plot of a post-war Ealing comedy.
A comedy about catching eels?

I know this is usually Lez’s territory, but a young woman on The Chase has just answered as follows:How long is a school mid-term holiday? - 6 weeks
What was the name of the spacecraft designed to hold 2 people?- Apollo 2
What flying creature is a slang term for a prison sentence? - Monkey.
I only know the answer to the third question - and, to be honest, that's only because the current last Post of the NES Game Thread by Grizzlygrump has reminded me ;o>
Perhaps she’d been taught by the remarkably ignorant teacher who not only thinks France is a monarchy but came up with this gem:Q. The hymn ‘Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer’ is associated with which sport?
A. Fishing?
Well we were told to be 'fishers of men' in the bible...

Ohhh no! - some people really should not be allowed within 10 miles of a Cake!!!
Overheard at an outreach event yesterday:Student: How do you spell GCSE?
Teacher: G-C-S-E.
Just what I was thinking, nocheese! ;o>
Not sure whether I'm over or under qualified.
Wonderful eye rolling moment by Emily Maitlis!
A magnificent new word in the Guardian:An article about the success of a 4-day working week and reduced hours altogether, noted that they’re not always feasible in retail where ‘presenteeism’ is required. Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Don’t think TheGuardian can take the credit, I remember the word from my social work days over 20 years ago. Presenteeism experts would leave a jacket over the back of their chair, and if spotted would always have a file under their arm. The trick was to look busy.
Ah, so that’s what I was practising when I walked about purposefully shuffling a handful of request cards.

I've often wondered just what it would take for so many folk these days to get them to put down their Phone and engage with real life around them? ... and, thanks to this adorable little Goat, it would seem that I have an answer to that now?! - LOL!!! ;o>How could so many manage to ignore the presence of a Goat stood at a Tram Stop in a urban/residential area?! - or were they all perhaps far too scared to acknowledge it being there because no-one else was doing so either?! ... the Mind boggles!

The only way would be to record it and broadcast it. Or hope that some freakish oddball comes along without a phone.
Anyone else silently cheer when you spot someone with a book on a bus or similar?
I travel quite frequently each week to and fro to work by bus where they usually have a few copies of some local paper on board that people avail themselves of to read on their journey. I've never thought about it in that way but I take your point as most people these days are hardwired to their smartphones continually apparently oblivious to their surroundings. It's a good job we no longer have to worry about sabre tooth tigers and other predators these days!

LOL!!! - it makes you wonder what on Earth the Kangaroo was thinking when it suddenly looked up and saw a Man 'fall' out of the Sky?!! ;o>

A joke on Talk Classical I hadn’t heard before:Apparently Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities was originally serialised in two West Midlands newspapers.
It was the Bicester Times, it was the Worcester Times...
The compere at the bluesfest in Scarborough;I asked a landscape gardener to quote me for a garden makeover.
He said he couldn't do it as my garden was portrait.
First online April Fool's joke I've encountered so far:Silence of the Cans
With noise restrictions becoming an increasing problem for inner-city venues, Victoria Bitter is pleased to introduce the Big Quiet Beer.
Applying a natural polymer to the seal, the pressurised CO2 is released a third of a second slower. This revolutionary technology means that the customary “Tssst-ker-chuk” [official spelling] is now a thing of the past.
Chester Bentleigh from Waterloo in Sydney has given the innovation the seal of approval, "My property portfolio in inner Sydney has recently been impacted by establishments such as the Abbotts Hotel, which for over 100 years has been serving up all varieties of music and entertainment as well as the opening of aluminium receptacles well beyond 8:30pm on weekends."
Steve, a rope technician from Toowoomba wasn't so sure. "Personally, I look forward to the sound of that first hard earned tin opening each weekend. But I completely get that we can't afford for our nightlife to go the same way as Sydney's. So as long as the brew hasn't changed, I'm all for it."
Victoria Bitter's Marketing Manager reassured there was no impact to Victoria Bitter's famous full-flavoured and refreshing taste, but warned that not all noise from pubs or suburban backyards could be eliminated; "Unfortunately there's not much we can do about the waffle coming from XXXX Gold drinkers."
The new Victoria Bitter "Silent Cans" will be quietly released into bottleshops for today only.
Victoria Bitter. The Big Quiet Beer.
