He has visited at least once in recent months. I think.

Mercifully without giving tongue, mostly.

Do you think the shocking allegation connected to Linda could be her dog and the Brookfield sheep worrying? Or has that already been discounted?

Perhaps Lynda has run off with Jim! Now that would give them all something to tut about.

Hello @BadlydoneHelen . Badly done. You reminded me of who said it.

I'd forgotten about the dog savaging the sheep.

Monty Snell is Innocent!

Maybe Harrison has upduffed someone Oop North and is behaving more than usually tediously. Wasn't there some suspicion that he was "involved" with a colleague? But frankly, who cares ... as long as the actor gets another job soon and disappears permanently.

I think the colleague had several behbehs and he enjoyed playing pretend families.

RIP Patricia Greene.

I'm pleased . HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh seems a good person. I'm fairly local to them and I've not heard a bad word about her.

You have a great crystal ball! It was good to hear a royal and for them to sound natural and like a normal person.

I'm firmly with Tracy, I wouldn't recognise her either...

Thanks, she was good wasn't she.
I don't normally like the cameos and I didn't really like the script but she sounded completely natural.

I'm not particularly a royalist, but I'm not anti either.

At least it wasn't Bald Clareing. Nothing particularly against her but she seems to be everywhere.

The England-Norway match is tonight. Go England!

Go Norway. if they win, maybe the boring twerps who paint everything with a St George Cross in a vandalish way will stop doing it for a while. It is downright distracting when it's zebra crossings.

Hopefully I can ‘share’ the detailed obituary in the Torygraph:

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime , The St George's flag painters are not necessarily football fans. I doubt that England not progressing in the World Cup would stop the flag painting.

There are very few zebra crossings where I live. The one I can think of, and used to use daily, is dangerous. Drivers don't seem to see it.

The reason I connected it to the World Cup was that there was an outbreak of red crosses on street furniture round her last month, where none had been before. It coincided with St George flags outside houses and painted onto the sides of white vans and flying as pennants from the back windows of cars.

Who won?

I think the recent spate would have been related to the football but I think that having national pride is not the same as being anti-immigration.

England. 2-1. Well done England!

There is definitely a difference between nationalism and patriotism....

Indeed, though the latter is often used to disguise the former.

Sophie sounded great. I agree with everyone saying she was very natural.

It's so sad when the older voices I grew up with start to disappear. I wonder how they will handle her death?

I'm worried about the actor who plays Jim - I miss him as a character. I was surprised at the age of the actress who plays Shula is as she always sounds very youthful.

She was voicing Archers children when she was well into her forties, I think.
