@maximpetergriff The table is not-fully dead as a ghost lives within it. Served with a side-order of parental scarelore: “Which is why we do not scratch it or kick it or slam things onto it – you don’t want to make the spirit unhappy.”

From penny for the guy to yard of ale, from the baleful beacons of the Marshbone Hills to the witch pints of of Shruggwood on St. Martin’s Eve – England is built around beer and bonfires. – #CLNolan

In old Anglo-Saxon, ‘Leyand’ meant untilled land. In modern Anglo-Saxon it means industrial dispute or crap car, except in Hookland where Leyland-cum-Hardy means trouble – usually of the ritual magic kind. – #DICallaghan
