Trotters

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you have to try 'Trotters' if you love male feet! It's this amazing restaurant in central London that specializes in cooking feet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The flavors are out of this world, and the textures are so unique. You've got to check it out! They've got all sorts of signature dishes like 'Feet on a Stick', 'Foot and Mouth Pie', and my favourite, 'Trotter Toes'. And the atmosphere is just incredible. The decor is old-timey with all these posters of famous people with foot-related quotes. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable too.

"The Kate Effect:" Often imitated, never duplicated 👑

Determined to help, Kate has now persuaded 19 British brands to donate more than 10,000 NEW items to more than 40 baby banks across the UK.

The Duchess of Cambridge donned a mask, apron and gloves today as she launched a major initiative to support vulnerable babies and children. On a visit to the baby bank charity Baby Basics UK in Sheffield, she revealed how she was moved to tears by the stories of families she met during secret lockdown visits to its West Norfolk branch near her Anmer Hall home.

As she unloaded pallets and unpacked the first deliveries at the charity’s temporary distribution centre, she told volunteers: "It can get very emotional. I remember a couple of the families I met from King's Lynn and I went home and literally burst into tears, their stories were so moving. The struggles they have gone through, the bravery they have shown...in extraordinary circumstances. Helping their families through extraordinary times."

Volunteer-run baby banks provide essentials such as nappies, clothing and bedding to vulnerable families who are referred by health visitors, midwives and social workers. But while baby banks across the UK have seen an increase in demand during the Covid-19 outbreak, many have been unable to accept second-hand donations because of health and safety concerns.The Duchess also spoke via videocalls to Amy Cotton, who fled a violent home with only her baby son Ricky, now three, and received a buggy, clothing and toys from Little Village. She is now a volunteer for the charity and has a 12-week old daughter, Ellie-Rose.

Kate told her: "It is brave and not often the easiest thing to do but it is really fantastic that you've reached out, that you are so open about your own struggles but also the fact that you are in such a fantastic place now. I suppose it is real credit to you, the journey that you've undertaken and the courage and strength you've shown to get there. So well done. And I love the fact that you are volunteering too."

She also spoke to Ella-Mae Michalski, whose 21-month-old twin girls Bella and Ruby were born prematurely with chronic lung disease. Little Village provided them with a double pram, clothes, muslins and other essentials.

"As a mum the one thing you want to be able to do is to provide for your children and it was difficult not to be able to do that but Little Village helped," said Ella-Mae. "It's something as basic as getting a cup of tea when you come here and people asking how you are and being able to offload without fear of what people might think."After learning about the situation during private visits to her local branch, where she helped to pack Moses Baskets with essential products for babies, the Duchess spearheaded a campaign to get UK companies to donate items to baby banks run by Baby Basics UK, London-based Little Village and Aberdeenshire-based AberNecessities.

Retailers taking part include John Lewis, M&S, Tesco, Sainsbury's, The White Company, Matalan, Trotters, Boden, Frugi, Mamas & Papas, Jojo Maman Bébé and Kit & Kin. Green People (Organic Babies), My Little Coco, Bloom and Blossom, Kokoso Baby, Childs Farm and Bramley have also made donations, while DHL Express is providing transport.

In Sheffield, Baby Basics CEO Cat Ross told the Duchess: "Often in a world where there is a lot of judgement and stereotyping about being poor, that additional stress can be even more difficult for parents who are doing amazing things to keep their families going with such strength, such determination."

"Yes," agreed Kate, "One of the mums I met was a nurse. These are families who do fantastic jobs and even they are struggling."Talking about community spirit during lockdown, she added: "It is those small volunteering acts that everyone can contribute to that make such a difference. That inter-generational support system has been amazing. Knowing that you can make such a big difference to another family is wonderful."

Kate also met Ali Wartty and Sahara Hamawandy, and their one-year-old triplets San, Shan and Laveen. An emotional Sahara told the Duchess how she was referred to Baby Basics after struggling to cope. The charity provided them with a triple pram, Moses baskets and starter packs, as well as clothes and toiletries as the babies have grown.

"I was living on the 12th floor of a block of flats and trying to cope with the three of them," she told the Duchess. "It must have been so stressful," sympathised Kate.  

Sahara told her: "How do you take your three babies down from the 12th floor without a pram? We weren't able to go out at all." Speaking afterwards, Sahara said: "To give support to mum means giving support to the whole family. That’s why the charity has been so important to a mother like me. It gave me power. It transformed me. I just want to say thank you to everybody."A Little Village survey of more than 50 baby banks has found that 77% desperately need more nappies, mattresses and other products as demand for their services increases. The charity is set to support more than 6,000 children this year, double the number they helped in 2019.

Founder and Chief Executive Sophia Parker said: "The pandemic appears to be making the situation much, much worse for many families. Every child should have the right to a good childhood and this new initiative is a much welcomed step towards tackling child poverty in the under 5s."

Danielle Flecher-Horn, Founder of AberNecessities, added: "By providing parents with the resources to build a positive relationship with their children - from pregnancy and throughout the first years – we can make a real difference to a child’s development, health and overall happiness."Speaking aftewards, Baby Basics CEO Cat Ross said: "A lot of people have heard about food banks but don’t necessarily know about the baby banks and what we do. Having someone like the Duchess behind us is amazing and her helping us by getting in all these amazing brands has been incredible."

Announcing the initiative, Kate said: "Over recent months, I have heard from families who have been supported by baby banks through the most difficult of times and I have been deeply moved by their stories. Having somewhere to turn to for support is important for all families, and baby banks work every day, up and down the country, to provide immediate, tangible and practical help for parents and carers when they are most in need.

"Baby banks are driven by incredible volunteers, demonstrating the power of community spirit in supporting families and coming together to raise the next generation. Thanks to the generosity of the companies taking part in this initiative, baby banks across the UK will be able to support even more families through this particularly challenging time."

"In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets."¹

@skippyv20 I remember when you told us to spot the difference. No photos of "the wife" out shopping with mom for baby items.🧐

People that think British food is disgusting are so STUPID we are NOT all tea drinkers nowadays, we like coffee. Who the hell would eat faggots people born in Titanic era DUH. The pie with all the fish sticking out is a Cornwall only Christmas dish, Jellied eels & pie and mash that is for Londoners Gen Z hate them. Rock sticks are for theme parks. I doubt anyone eats pigs heads or boney pigs trotters now. Boomers did. Only Scotland fries mars bars. Spotted dick is a cake.

What would the successful Last Feast look like?

Rating: Explicit

Fandom: The Magnus Archives

Characters: Jared Hopworth, John Haan, Monster Pig

Content: gore, bodily fluids, extreme weight gain, animal death, cannibalism

Summary: The UK succumbs to the flesh

—

Jared Hopworth may cause the Last Feast in Istanbul, but it’s the Magnus Institute in London he decides to build the centre of his new world. When it begins, the blue of the sky fades. It becomes grey before turning to the yellow of pus, there’s a strange fractal pattern across it that’s only visible without a telescope when a strange electricity pulses through it. The ground becomes soft and wet, it almost seems to breathe. Flowers aren’t flowers anymore, petals are like skin and they smell of meat. The only respite from feeling as if you’re being marched towards the Killing Floor is if another Fear takes an interest in you.

In place of the Panopticon would be the Abattoir, except instead of towering over all of London, the entire capital city has turned into the horrifying palace of bones, blood, visceral, fat, and muscle. From the outside it’s a gigantic grey building with chimneys that go far beyond the sky, pumping out foul smelling smoke that covers the entire country. There are gigantic metal doors that open automatically to welcome in their guests, the walls inside are covered in flesh and muscle, pulsing and pumping constantly. The first rooms you see are the Flesh Avatars that have happily embraced their new place. John Haan can be found chopping up the victims of the flesh, the ones who stumbled into the Abattoir or who were in London when the Last Feast began. He had his own Killing Floor now, the zombie of his son Tom dutifully bringing him more humans to be toyed with, eaten, or fed to the Boneturner.

If you go down to the pens where the livestock is kept, be careful not to vomit because it’s like catnip to the ruler of the pens. In each one are shaking, sobbing victims, fat with hormones being pumped into their body and covered in their own urine and faeces. In the centre of the hall is sat the most gigantic hog than could possibly have existed outside of the Abattoir. The pig could have crushed Buckingham Palace underneath its behind and its breasts and head are hidden through its gigantic gut. If you were able to climb a top of it, you’d see a grotesque beast, a neck roll that swelled and caused a fat head to sink into it with a snout poking out. As his useless arms can’t lift themselves, and his trotters are pathetic stubs, the building brings his meals to him. The pulsing meat on the walls dragging and passing him down the line until they reach the gaping maw of the sow.

In the heart of the building is the Flesh Garden, where rests Jared Hopworth, or what was Jared Hopworth. Now he’s The Boneturner. If you’re unlucky enough to reach his flesh garden, the first thing you would see was a table, a long, wide table covered in rotting carcasses. Cadavers that have maggots crawling in them but are still being left to be feasted on by The Boneturner. If time still worked, it would take the time to walk to the head of the table as it would to walk from one side of the London to the other. What you will see however is tendrils, so many tendrils. Some of them are pink and pulsing, they’re humming as if they’re pumping a substance towards something. Others are hard white bones with sharp edges that follow the same route as the others.

The denizens of The Abattoir and the Flesh Garden exist to serve the Boneturner, all of the flesh that is shredded from those who enter is fed to him eventually, and the bones are added to his own. Few actually see the ruler of this new world, and only the unlucky are given the opportunity. He isn’t recognisable as anything that was ever remotely human anymore. The fleshy tendrils have sharp teeth when they reach their ends which sink into The Boneturner’s skin and cling to him, pumping him full of all the fat and viscera in the Abattoir. The ones they tangle around, that are hard and white as bone are the man himself, he has become so full of bones that they pierced his muscles and skin. Parts of him have tons of bones forced into gigantic mounds of fat, but the ones that don’t have flesh to cover them simply split his skin open and keep growing. Everything in this new world exists to feed, sustain, and add to his collection.

What are some British TV shows you just won't understand unless you've lived in the UK?

British TV shows often carry a unique cultural context that may be challenging to fully grasp without some familiarity with British society, humor, and references. Here are a few examples:

Only Fools and Horses: This classic sitcom revolves around the lives of two brothers, Del Boy and Rodney Trotter, who live in Peckham, South London, and their various get-rich-quick schemes. Understanding the nuances of working-class London life and the particular humor of the characters can be key to fully appreciating this show.

The Thick of It: A political satire revolving around the inner workings of the British government, particularly focusing on the Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship. The rapid-fire dialogue, profanity, and cynical view of politics may be difficult to fully understand without some familiarity with British politics and bureaucracy.

Peep Show: A comedy series filmed from the perspective of the characters, often delving into their inner thoughts and insecurities. The show's humor relies heavily on awkward situations and social faux pas, which may resonate more with those familiar with British social norms and urban life.

Gavin & Stacey: This sitcom follows the long-distance relationship between Gavin from Essex and Stacey from Barry in Wales, along with their quirky friends and family members. Understanding the regional accents and cultural differences between England and Wales can enhance the viewing experience.

Blackadder: A historical sitcom that spans multiple periods, following the misadventures of the various incarnations of Edmund Blackadder and his dimwitted sidekick, Baldrick. Appreciating the show's clever wordplay, historical references, and satire of British history requires some familiarity with both British history and comedic traditions.

These are just a few examples, but many more British TV shows may require a certain level of cultural understanding to fully appreciate.

5 facts about Shareen Costello:

The genesis behind Shareen came from binge-watching the RTD-era during lockdown and noticing the numerous mentions Rose makes of Shareen, which got me thinking about what if Shareen actually showed up and met the Doctor. This idea lingered at the back of my mind for some time and in 2022 I finally decided to make it happen.

When planning Shareen, I went through several different ideas for her face claim. Alexandra Daddario, Phoebe Tonkin and Holland Roden were favourites for a while before I ultimately settled on Victoria Moroles. The choice of Victoria came from watching her as Hayden Romero in Teen Wolf. I imagined Shareen to be very feisty and street-wise, so I felt that Victoria was a good choice for such a character.

Shareen's catchphrase of "Cosmic" comes from Only Fools & Horses. Rodney Trotter had a tendency to say "Cosmic", usually in a sarcastic sense when things went pear-shaped and I felt that Shareen would've watched that classic British comedy while growing up and so would start quoting it. She's also called people "Plonkers" a few times, which is an insult Del Boy tended to use. In fact, it runs in the family, as Shareen's sister Zara once called the Doctor a "Wally", which is another insult Del tended to use.

Shareen's spiky relationship with the Doctor came about because I wanted to do something different from the usual characterisation of Doctor Who OCs, who tend to be love interests for the Doctor and worship the ground he walks on. It provides for an interesting contrast with Rose, who was always sucking up to the Doctor, especially in series 2. Shareen is very much cut from the same cloth as Donna, which made writing them together in series 4 so much fun!

Shareen's interest in football comes from the euphoria surrounding England's victory at the 2022 Women's Euro Cup. The Lionesses' victory inspired me to give Shareen an interest in football. This has come up several times in her series; she and Mickey participated in a match just after the events of Aliens of London/World War Three, she left off some steam at the end of Gridlock by practising her goals in the TARDIS, she offered to play a match with Jethro in Midnight and she played a match with Mickey after the Doctor dropped her off on Earth after series 4. Perhaps the 11th Doctor's football skills came from his previous incarnation's time travelling with Shareen! For the record, Shareen's favourite team is Crystal Palace.

On a late foggy London night, a police-officer makes his rounds, only to trend down trotters lane. Upon which he hears a faint humming noise, which leads him to the blue gates of a scrapyard. He dares to open them, only to find a blue police box tucked inside. 

Dun. Dun. Duunn. 

That’s it though. We never see him again. He’s completely irrelevant and he doesn’t even die. 

What nonsense is this? 

Episode one of Classic Who

Full explanation and review under the cut...

An Unearthly Child is not a bad episode per say; I suppose its a very dated one; in the sense, not much happens in it but historically, it’s fascinating. 

Don’t get me wrong; entertainment level; Meh; fascination level; Oooh

We’re quickly introduced to our two companions for the series; 

Barbara Wright the history teacher; there to show the Doctor the power of Compassion

And Ian ChesterTON the science teacher; there to show the Doctor the power of Hope

Which I mean is amazing; Doctor Who truly has always been about four things; Science; History; Compassion and Hope. 

Just wonderful. 

Don’t get me wrong; we no longer get anything half as good, as the dynamic that this TARDIS team has; its all there, and the Doctor’s just along for the ride (for majority of it). 

I wish modern who was more like this. No drama. (Well no relationship drama ((Well no love-triangle bullshit)))

That being said, there are questionable moments. Moments that make you go, Ah the Sixties. 

For example; the whole premise of the episode. 

Basically, Barbara Wright is concerned for a student of hers (Susan Foreman) who she considers to be very bright and wants to help her become unstoppable.  And by that I mean, give her more in-depth lessons outside of school; basically a home-schooling advance learning opportunity; just for Susan. 

Only problem; Susan says her grandfather won’t like nor allow it. 

So, Barbara does the logical thing, accepts Susan’s no and moves on with her life, like any good teacher. 

I’m joking; she stalks the girl, I mean naturally. 

She first uses her privilege as the girls teacher to get her address from the school’s office; and then tracks her down to this scrapyard, only to be horrified. 

Well I’m sure Susan’s not trilled either Barbara, but save your judgement, my goodness, she doesn’t come barging into your address and judging your living circumstances. 

I mean in all seriousness, Susan attends school regularly (presumably) and is in no means in a state of distress nor dressed poorly. What I’m trying to say is, Barbara has no reason to presume Susan’s ill-looked after. 

That being said, she turns up in the hopes of speaking with Susan’s grandfather, without Susan’s permission, to convince him of the benefits of tutoring Susan outside of school, and I mean, you couldn’t really get away with this now-a-days. 

Possibly a call, but most teachers would hand them a letter and ask the parent to get in contact if they’re interested. 

But Barbara’s dedicated. Only the episode freely admits, she’s more curious about the very clever, very knowledgeable oddity that Susan Forman is. She knows things she shouldn’t, and doesn’t know things she should. 

I mean, she’s just had a sheltered life, she does come across as a very naïve girl who has been raised around a very intelligent role model. That’s it. So in other words, Barbara’s just curious of this grandfather of hers, and everyone acts like the Doctor was paranoid but he had a right to be. 

Ian on the other hand, freely admits this is suspicious behaviour and tries to get Barbara to admit it. All the way to driving up outside the scrapyard and waiting for Susan to turn up. Yeah, two teachers just chilling, waiting for their student to turn up, like weirdos.  

And everyone questions the Doctor’s behaviour, his hostility but these two, the real weirdos, I’m telling you. 

Anywho...

Each teacher takes turn talking about their experience’s of Susan, and in all honestly they fall a little flat. 

For Barbara; she discuss’ Susan’s humiliation; about currency. And oh, prepare yourself for a short little history lesson. 

Basically, British money made zero sense until 1971.  1 Pound = 20 Shillings. 20 Shillings = 12 Pence 1 Pence = 2 halfpennies or 4 farthings

What is this nonsense? And I struggle with modern British currency, my goodness. 

Now to be a barer of bad news. Doctor Who didn’t actually predict the change in currency (with Susan mistaking presuming Britain had already shifted to the new decimal system) as from 1961; the slow process; taking ten-years; had already been happening. How known this was, I couldn’t say, but talk of switching a more easy currency, like in America, had probably already been happening for years. 

This along with the idea that Doctor Who’s first episode aired the same day President Kennedy got assassinated is a little misinforming, but either way, still a little fascinating quirk. 

Doctor Who Air Date: 23rd Nov 1963 (Sat) Kennedy Death: 22nd Nov (Fri)

Back to the episode;

Susan wrongly presumes Britain are on the decimal system 1 pound = 100 pennies Only to embarrass herself in front of the entire class. 

And that’s the only flashback Barbara contributes. Like come on. Not one thing about her showing off her historical knowledgeable. Because apparently, Susan’s corrected the history book, and I don’t know how she managed that one because surely Barbara would believe the book, over a student but....

Ian gets two flashbacks (blatant sexism)

In all honestly, I can see why. He first shows us Susan being bored of science (which high school student isn’t) but it’s not because she doesn’t understand but because she’d rather be working with active chemicals. (Whoa girl calm down, this is a school, go blow up the scrapyard you live in). 

Basically, remember in science class, when you dipped paper into chemicals to see it change colour (I vaguely remember myself) that has apparently been happening since the sixties, which is a little depressing. 

Then, Ian shows us Susan not understanding how dimensions work. As apparently she can’t work in three-dimensions, and instead works in four which is drumroll please, time. 

Again, the idea either teacher would believe Susan is a little questionable at best, sure she’s coming up with novel ideas, sort of, but she sounds like a rambling mad-man or scientist, not a clever girl. If anything, they’re showing the opposite, which makes more sense. 

There here for the Doctor, he needs to RUN! Quick Doctor. They’re on to you. 

Now, I know what you’re thinking; who’s the big bad of the episode. Who is going to try to kill or trick the companions? Is it Susan. Now while that would make for a brilliant episode, no. Technically, it’s no-one. 

But I have different idea to put across. Because, if anyone in this episode is acting antagonistic, it’s the Doctor. 

Dun. Dun. Duuun. 

Susan arrives home. Enters the scrapyard, and failing to notice or hear her teachers calling out to her. They follow her anyway, and begin exploring the scrapyard, which as you imagine is full of a lot of old junk, nobody wants, and would look at home in a car boot sale. 

It is rather late, after school, but Ian brought a flashlight and also finds the TARDIS hiding beside some steps. He manages to round the entire box, notes its humming and claims it a living being. Which is more than most companions can say. 

At the arrival of the Doctor, both teachers hide behind those steps, as he approaches the box, only to spot them and immediately become suspicious. Which turns into a full blown argument, between Ian and the Doctor over the box, which the Doctor claims a cupboard, and Susan’s disappearance. 

Like these teachers go full on, you’ve abducted her. Um, she willingly entered the scrapyard, you saw her, and um, he wasn’t even in here when she did, because he came after, so, um, good look arguing that one in court. 

After a rather lengthy back and forth, with a lot of condescending comments on the Doctor’s part. Susan opens the TARDIS doors, and Ian attacks him to allow Barbara to rush inside to save Susan. 

Did I say the Doctor’s the bad-guy; whoops; I meant Ian and Barbara; they stuck there noses in where it both wasn’t asked nor needed, and forcefully entered the Doctor’s TARDIS, despite being asked to leave, all because they didn’t like nor understand what’s going on. 

Also, the Doctor drawing attention away from the TARDIS, by admiring junk found in a scrapyard, will never not be funny. (Also, also, did scrapyards have a different meaning in the sixties? Or have I been Americanised beyond hope?)

As episodes go; not as sexist as I feared. I mean there’s this idea that Ian is the man, and he has this role to play (which features throughout the entire series) but its done in a way, that makes you, one, like and trust Ian, and two, not think any less of the other characters. It doesn’t bash on Barbara for being a woman, nor Susan for being a young girl, or even the Doctor for being an old man. It accepts it, even if it takes it a little far, with assigned roles. 

All in all; little underwhelming; quite boring; and um Racist. Yeah, only one comment about the indigenousness people of America not understanding trains, like American’s didn’t think a woman’s womb would explode if she boarded one, and the general lack of POC anything. 

Yeah, I’m afraid the next three episodes are by far the worst episodes of Doctor Who, that I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing. 

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the old Classic Who, I like historical things, and working out how much society has changed, writing has changed, things like that, and by no means recommend this for someone looking for entertainment. Not that its all boring, there are a few serials (stories spread across multiple episodes) that I would recommend, if some of the episodes weren’t missing but as a general rule. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

𝑷𝑬𝒀𝑻𝑶𝑵 𝑷𝑨𝑳𝑴𝑬𝑹   -    𝑅𝐸𝐷 𝐷𝐸𝐴𝐷 𝑅𝐸𝐷𝐸𝑀𝑃𝑇𝐼𝑂𝑁 𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸  .   THESE ARE BULLET POINTS , BUT A VERY DETAILED CHAPTER ONE PLOT ! i just need to figure out how to bring it together to make it coherent in a verse box . 

PERSONAL HORSE  -  missouri fox trotter named starlight - starlight is a little stupid, but loyal, the embodiment of staring at an animal where you’re like “i think you’re human, but you’re also a lil too stupid to be human... whats the truth?” and in response star is just the eye and lip emojimeme WORKING HORSES - two appaloosa’s , a spotted black and white one named moonlight and a white with brown spots named jupiter - yes, peyton knows about the space theme going on, it was an accident . LOADOUT  -  buck cattleman revolver x2, litchfield repeater, bow and arrows, hunting knife. ACCENT  -  while it’s not realistic for peyton to keep the thick yorkshire accent, she still has it, as a treat, because its fun :) sick of londoners, its time for some spice.

peyton grew up in a small cottage surrounded by a handful of animals . a ranch , but its slightly laughable calling it that with how compacted the place is in comparison to others along the way .  they have a coop for chickens, a cow and three horses -  it’s around a three hour drive to valentine ; surrounded by forest, a good bit of land to enjoy to themselves ; but the living vicinity is small . but , for peyton , its home , humble - but its hers, and its more than what most people have . peyton also goes out hunting regularly, another way to try and pick up the paycheck is selling animal skin and meat to the local butcher.

her mother died when she was eighteen years old , cause of death , typhoid fever ; it was horrible , and something that certainly traumatized her witnessing ; going from getting through the world together, to having no one there at all  -  peyton did her best to take care of everything, to bring in as much money as possible so aveline could get the top tier care she deserved  -  but in the end, there was nothing the doctors could do . it’s a death that peyton still hasn’t gotten over, and even as the years pass and she’s on her own , it just gets worse . but, she’s coping, as best as she can and in the end that’s all that matters.

a regular in valentine, first name basis with a lot of people  -  always greeted with smiles and waves when riding into the town. she still deals with her fair share of sexism, just as anyone else, but luckily its not as bad as it could be when going out into civilization. though, she doesn’t have many friends - or any friends, for that matter. the property is isolated, and she’s far too busy trying to keep the place standing to socialize on that sort of level. as a result, peyton is incredibly lonely, but it’s something she tries not to acknowledge ; blocking the voices out with writing and book reading. 

peyton has had many run ins with the o'driscolls, given where the property is and going back and forth from valentine pretty much daily, its only a matter of time. it was slow building encounters, depressingly  giving away some eggs because they demanded, some milk there  -  eventually it became routine and half of her income was going down the gutter, eventually hunting and  animal hides became her main source of income, it wasn’t something they hadn’t caught onto her doing yet - or if they did, they didn’t see it worthwhile.

How many series were produced of the British sitcom 'Only Fools and Horses'?

'Only Fools and Horses' is a British sitcom set in Peckham, South London that aired between 1981 to 1991 for a total of seven series. The show follows two brothers, Rodney and Derek "Del Boy" Trotter, who try to make money with dodgy deals. They sell their ill-gotten goods on the streets of London, often saying "This time next year, we'll be millionaires". Meanwhile, they live with their Granddad, and later their Uncle Albert, in a council flat, where the elderly men try to convince the brothers that their latest money-making scheme will not work. The title of the show comes from the 19th-century American vaudeville saying, "only fools and horses work for a living".

The series stars David Jason as Del Boy and Nicholas Lyndhurst as Rodney, who have both since starred in other sitcoms during their acting careers. Also in the cast are a number of well-loved British comedy actors, including Roger Lloyd Pack, John Challis, Lennard Pearce, and Tessa Peake-Jones.

'Only Fools and Horses' won 21 awards, including six British Academy Film Awards, seven British Comedy Awards, and three National Television Awards. It was created by John Sullivan (1946-2011), who also wrote 'Citizen Smith' (1977-1980) and sketches for 'The Two Ronnies' (1977-1982). After the success of 'Only Fools and Horses', Sullivan wrote the spin-off 'The Green Green Grass' (2005-2009) and the prequel 'Rock & Chips' (2010-2011).

John Lodwick (2 March 1916 – 18 March 1959)

"Ringway had been born in Islington. Towns such as Margate, Southend and Brighton he recognised as part of the Londoner's Empire. They were distant provinces, it is true - perimeter strongpoints beyond which roamed only the barbarians with their cows, their pigs, their poultry and other menial occupations... But they were pleasant resorts upon the whole; civilised by the Cockney, built for his moments of relaxation. West of Brighton, north of Southend, England ended for Ringway. The country of the swede-bashers began. He knew, of course, that a rival empire existed in the north, Manchester, Liverpool, the Yorkshire factry towns with their satellites: Blackpool, Southport and Scarborough. But that empire was equivalent to Carthage. London was Rome; supreme, unrivalled, of infinite stink and variety; the home of pork trotters and saveloy sausages. Doctor Johnson once declared of a nobleman that, although he had voyaged much, he had brought nothing back from his travels except the information that there was a snake in one of the pyramids. Ringway who had seen active service in the desert, who had been stationed in Palestine, who had seen active service again over the length and breadth of the Apennines, had brought back the information that foreign tarts were cheaper and gave better value for the sum expended."
