Two months until Scotland decides.

Stay stuck in broken Brexit Britain, or choose the fresh start of independence.

That wealthier, fairer future for Scotland is possible. On May 7, vote SNP to make it a reality.

Yes, individual meals I've had made by Americans have been tasty.

The one I had was like a fruit cake but with lots of nuts.

I hated their ads where a child explained to us dim Brits how to eat them - with milk ๐Ÿคฎ - which was patronising and smug. American food tastes pretty awful it seems. The only thing I've ever liked is a pecan nut cake I was given, in a tin, delicious. #TheArchers

I was told I was a 'University hopeful' by my school but they never asked what I'd like to do. I left before 'A' levels to go to secretarial school. My mother thought there was no point in uni, 'because you'll get married.' ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธI never did, but I got a BA in my 50s.

Trump belittles Starmer with 'no Churchill' jibe but can the special relationship recover? The remarks came amid a row over the refusal to permit the use of UK bases for the initial US-Israel strikes.

A special relationship is built on mutual love and respect.

An abusive relationship is when your partner belittles you, gives nothing back, threatens you, keeps negatively comparing you to an ex partner and despite it all assumes you'll always be there for them.

I was responding to the remark about drawing a line on a negative test to show positive. Why do that and then hide it from the person it was supposed to mislead? ##TheArchers

We were joined by Dunvegan Primary School today as part of #worldbookday. They asked us lots of great questions about running a bookshop and explored our stock, then @louisbarabbas.bsky.social read them a story and discussed the ethical minefield of the traditional euro-centric fairy tale canon.

A friend and I worked out that if we were goal (her) and goal defence (me) on the sporty girls team we would never have anything to do. All our friends were in the opposite team, the mod girls, and the entire game was played in their half. Our friends were envious of our forward thinking. ๐Ÿคฃ
