To provide context for the "In the US 100 years is a long time, in Europe 100 miles is a long way" thing, one of our local supermarkets was built as a Carrefour in the 70's

The supermarket was sold to Asda in the 80's

People still refer to that supermarket as Carrefour despite it now being three decades since it became an Asda

@Jo "Oh, it's the stop next to carrefour"

"the what now?"

"oh yeah, that one was taken over by asda in the 80's"

"and you're still calling it carrefour"

"...yeah"

@maple it's a robo squirrel bun's mouse!

@Jo boneless gameboy

I'd have been happy to make them all little beds but they really prefer to do that themselves

the original location for the hedgehog hotel became unavailable so it's back here in the garden ready for hibernating season

gave them lots of nice straw for bedding

@scarlett a cp/m client would be enough for me to go "fuck all this modern shit, I'm using a C128"
