A tanner was 6d, a thruppenny bit was 3d - they are old names based on the old coinage. Thruppenny bits were out of use before decimalisation but tanners were worth 2.5p after decimalisation.
A tanner was always half a shilling, it's just the number of pennies that changed.

Also known as a florin. IIRC they became 10p and shillings became 5p - roughly half their original value in old pence: 24d and 12d respectively.

More like an albatross around the neck of British politics.

It's only the ones laid by bunnies.

It's the Farage estate...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I want to hear the unredacted version now...

I'd love to but my blood stream is too full drugs to be safe for anyone else. 🙁

Palais de Chaillot or Trocadéro to get that view: the Champ de Mars is visible on the other side of the tower.

I don't imagine there's anyone who studied STEM subjects at A level that coupled them with English. Maths yes, but English?

Amazon Web Services. If you've ever heard of cloud computing - this is Amazon's offering in that market where companies rent computer power and space off someone else rather than own their own computers.

I don't think pleasure was an option in the mid-80s.

Business - when I was living in France. Ramadan was interesting: lunch was only available via room service (out of sight, out of mind).

Belgium, Netherlands, Germany (BRD and DDR), Austria, Liechtenstein, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Sweden, Latvia, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, Canada, USA.

The Indian visa website crashed when I tried to put in the full answer to the question "which countries have you visited in the last 10 years". It worked OK when I left a few out.
Otherwise: all UK countries, Ireland, France (lived), Spain, Portugal, Monaco, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg,...

Illegal migrants who didn't fancy claiming asylum in Dover, Deal, Ramsgate, Margate, Southend, Harwich, Felixstowe, Southwold, Lowestoft, and by the looks of it Great Yarmouth...

Arbeit macht Frei

And to bundle is to continuously bund?

That was naïve. 😁

Only found that out a couple of weeks ago in Greece - despite having used Greek letters in maths since school.

The only one big enough for his ego.

And it's not a mistake the presumably French-speaking cab driver could make in that language...

And UK's been set adrift and floating away northwards.
Dover's moved inland too.

It's simply that we are not "customers" of public services: we can't take our custom elsewhere - especially HMRC!

Blackpool-sur-Seine évidemment.

Russian flag: 🇷🇺
Serbian flag: 🇷🇸
Spot the difference...

Nice try but several inaccuracies on the terminology and current practices of change-ringing. Change ringers generally frown on those who call themselves campanologists (pretentious ****s!?).

👇🏽🤣

And continuing to use Fahrenheit is just barmy!

Just replace "AI" with "automation" and it probably make more sense.
Also trying to treat users of government services as customers is fundamentally wrong: we can't take our custom elsewhere - especially HMRC...
