Haha, someone at the Reading Chronicle ten years ago could have done with reading a bit more.

On reflection, it's slightly disappointing they didn't go the whole way. I mean, they are pretty big.

Anyone else finding this site really slow at present? For about the past week, across all my devices and various Wi-Fi and 5G access across virtually the length and breadth of the UK so the only common factor other than the site itself is my Chrome browser (which I've recently cleared the history on to see if that helped).

There's a long thread on this on the mothership which is having similar problems.

I've had these problems with both sites for a few days...on both iPhone and Samsung tablet.

Got a question about etymology? Just ask Brian, now with Inthink*.

Thanks, just replied to that one. Ironically, that thread seemed even slower than posting on this part of the forum!

Oh. I was thinking if I started an LLM business, I should call myself AI Capone, and avoid paying taxes. But your idea does have merit.

Sheep being in Wales is hardly a rumour.
I'm more surprised by the concentration in south Devon.

They have to concentrate, otherwise the sheep put the jam on their scones first.

I was surprised by how few there were in the Highlands on my recent trip.

They've probably been emigrating in small boats to Wales, and getting fleeced in the process.
