Never mind the yoghurt - who is making the Sterling Gold?!

Can't see anything more about Ambridge's location. They're now talking accents, this slide is a favourite:

I've just seen a wonderful slide on Twitter with the heading "Shula's vowels: 1975 to 2015".

A delegate at #AcademicArchers is knitting. Excellent #spiritofWI

Here you go, Gruntled:

Another tweet:

Mapping Ambridge - "Where did Matthew and Pip go to on Lakey Hill?" - "All the way!

The Shula's vowels chap was on PM this week. He didn't choose very good examples - the differences were practically imperceptible - & he FORGOT JUDY BENNETT'S NAME, PM had to google it for him.

Most embarrassing

I am there! (Conference.)

We are being lectured on posture and swivelling. And robotic milking, Charlie's drones, detailed plant mapping ...

Oooh, Gruach, I am green, green, I tell you!
Another tweet which caught my eye, from Samantha Walton: "Delighted my cider talk went down well & that I don't need to carry cider flagon back to Bristol #AcademicArchers #backpain"

More from the floor: "Jo Moriarty ‏@Aspirantdiva 19m19 minutes ago
Never have I spoken to a more informed audience says @ProfNJMansfield at #AcademicArchers. The topic is Tony's back pain"

Brilliant: "Jo Moriarty ‏@Aspirantdiva 5m5 minutes ago
'Statistically, shouldn't someone else have died in a farming accident?' asks audience member. Audience shout 'Rob' #AcademicArchers"

Oh has this thread turned into Twitter?

Pro tem, I see no problem with Twitter coming to MN.

Didn't anyone shout out 'Jethro Larkin'? He died after a branch which David was cutting off a tree fell on Jethro's head. (He was Clarrie's dad and had the Brookfield yokel role before Bert.)

Other, non-fatal, agricultural accidents: Mike lost an eye when a hydraulic hose hit him in the face; Tony and the bull.

New hashtag from #AcademicArchers #BringBackBethany

Booming, someone who wasn't on Twitter asked for more info, so I'm doing what I can

Gruach are you one of the tweeters live from the conference?

Ooh, Gruach, I am

We will expect a full account tomorrow... Have fun.

I'm reading what is being posted on here but I would appreciate a lengthier version when people who are attending have time to report.

I'm green with envy!

I missed most of the morning enoch - and now no one wants to talk to me ...

John Archer died when the tractor rolled over on him.

David nearly died in some cattle or drainage incident some years ago.

Brian kicked by cow with BSE & turned epileptic for a while? (Magically cured by Ambrifge health fairy, like Jazzer after his ketamine incident)

Cow lying on David is what led to Brookfield inheritance change story

I weep for you, Gruach. Perhaps you should make yourself a Mumsnetter label!

Charlie almost killed in culvert. Got away with a broken ankle.

Dumdedum -yes it was me - I need to know what is happening

Keep up the good work

Hello. I was supposed to be there today. Instead I've been making a presentation to a bunch of builders merchants in Coventry. I am more gutted than Jenny Darling when she found out Alice had married Chris

How did that happen, Bitoutofpractice? Do these people not understand that this is important ?

I have raised myself from my sickbed BOOP - but every eye I catch slides away.

These are supposed to be my people. Humph!
