Well, George is pretty dreadful even though he's being uncharacteristically supportive and nice at the moment #TheArchers

Milk chocolate hobnobs for me. Love at first bite some 30 odd years ago, and never changed my opinion since #TheArchers

That could fit in nicely with a salaried job with regular hours #TheArchers

I'd love Helen to take the job just to hear Tom's outrage and Natasha's subsequent scheming machinations #TheArchers

If you can't beat them, join them? #TheArchers

Today is St David’s Day: patron saint of Wales, of course, but also of vegetarians and poets. He was reputed to have helped introduce bees to Ireland. He is famously quoted as saying β€œGwnewch y pethau bychain”, meaning β€œDo the little things”. Small changes and good choices matter, especially now.

Good grief, is it really?

As a resident Manc I'm obviously watching the Brit awards and am noticing a zealous censor pressing the static noise button to cover anything that might be slightly controversial. Hope there will be an outtakes video

Aplogies, my original question to you comes over as rude, definitely not my intention.

Fair enough

Do you genuinely not understand people with Scottish accents, or was your radio reception poor? #TheArchers

Not a surprise but a great relief.

And that's how Henry and Jack got a new brother #TheArchers

Absolutely loved Small Prophets on BBC iplayer. Local lad Pierce Quigley is very watchable, Michael Palin is spot on, and McKenzie Crook is ridiculously funny. Strong recommend.

I was trying to remember if Susan had beef with Kirsty, but can't think of anything #TheArchers

And that's why #TheArchers is the world's longest running soap

For sure. Which is why I suspect this is all naught but a passing fantasy. #TheArchers

Leonard is clearly very capable. But David and Ruth seem terrified that he'll injure himself anytime he does any light farm work, plus he's now Jill's full time carer, so that seems unlikely #TheArchers

Bet Joy's got a dairy licence. She can do everything else #TheArchers

Henry and Rob's son might have something to say about that. Like no. #TheArchers
