Just for the record I didn't. I got the Wessex reference but had only read the one blighted tragic novel.

Can't stand the writings of the whole damned Victorian lot of them, with an exception for some dickens.

Dreary bunch, always full of women staring out of windows, whining about ducks going to Moseley ;)

Apologies. I just thought you couldn't be bothered to tax your brain thinking up clues on this lovely, sunny weekend!


As for T. Hardy, I agree his books were a bit dreary, but the film & tv adaptions were great.

over to you, ianr

sorry for keeping everyone in suspense


ETA I haven't read a lot of Hardy but what I've read is pretty good and cracks along - you're being rather unfair, EP and AM! Probably too many set books at school.

I'd rather read a proper solid Victorian novel with ladies and ducks than many of today's lot, obesessing solipsistically about (usually failed) relationships and alcohol/cigs/other stuff.

    • If you've got to raise taxes, then those inheriting multi-million pound estates, landlords, second property owners, the privately educated, and wealthier pensioners (considering how they have been disproportionately insulated for many years), doesn't' seem like the most unreasonable places to do so. We can't just keep loading more and more pain on young, working renters because it's less noisy. The fact that the media are absolutely up in arms, suggests there has actually been some political bravery, and that power, wealth and influence isn't acting as an absolute inoculant to tax rises for once.
    • Lammy was right on both accounts.  That is not incompetence.  Kim Darroch, the then US Ambassador was also correct with an assessment of the last Trump presidency.  I don't want to be the 51st state 
    • Hi all,    We are looking for a pregnant person for 1 hours modelling for a campaign shoot that is happening this Saturday (23rd November) in Peckham. We are looking for real people, so no previous modelling experience required.  The shoot is for a new body care brand, and so the model will be required to wear a bodysuit and apply product (all product is clinically proven to be pregnancy safe).  Payment would be made in a goody bag from the brand.  If this is you (or you know anyone who would be good for this), please reach out!
