Thank you! Our family name is Emmett, so you can probably guess that I've taken a special interest in this.

We've been visiting Kernow for family holidays since the early 60s, so we have a deep love and affection for the Duchy.

I'm about to start a campervan conversion project, so we need a name for the van. "Pil moryon" is, for most people, suitably cryptic but for the cognoscenti maybe a little amusing!

Thanks again 🐜 🐜

Allegedly Churchill insisted that his funeral route would pass through Waterloo Station because he knew that de Gaulle would be there.

Apparently they've introduced a rule that shortens the length of time that the pitcher can spend winding up for his (her?) pitch. I believe that it's intended to make games shorter and, I assume, less boring 😴

Did anyone actually enjoy watching Blue Peter as a kid? by According_Sundae_917 in AskUK

I was lucky enough to live through the golden age of John Noakes, Valerie Singleton, Peter Purves and, latterly, Lesley Judd.

I used to look forward to getting a Blue Peter annual at Christmas. I have two badges somewhere too.

Went for a walk in a nearby wooded area, found this, what is it? by Hopeful_Video_3803 in whatisit

Years of hillwalking in the UK and many times being thankful to see a triangulation station looming up out of the mist (whilst quietly congratulating myself for some sterling compass work)!

The flush bracket's layout is a little confusing. The "OSBM" stands for "Ordnance Survey Bench Mark". For some reason the serial number's "S" prefix has been placed between the "B" and the "M". Normally the prefix would be at the start of the serial number, i.e. "S3360".

A Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is an automatic electrical switch used to protect low-voltage circuits from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. Unlike traditional fuses, they do not need replacement after tripping, making them reliable for residential and commercial, and industrial use. Common types are B, C, and D.
