The Waterman’s Arms, a derelict 19th-century pub, stands by the Little Ouse river, accessible only by water. Built in 1861 to serve passing bargemen and riverside locals, it closed its doors in 1956 and has since been slowly sinking into the soft Fenland soil.

One of the few pleasures of the Trump era is watching people invent new kinds of bad day to have in real time.
PATEL: The previous regulation automatically disqualified any individual who participated in either side of it
KENNEDY: Either side of beastiality? So you disqualified the animal?
P: Well, we have great canines, but we're not going to disqualify them
K: I'm trying to understand why you did this.

My favourite thing about this ad is that it features clearly AI-generated video, in the advert for responsible water use.
a real advert on UK TV currently:
Oi! Grown ups! Save some water for us kids!
ADULTS! stop having such long showers!
GARDENERS! stop using so much water for your plants!
WATER COMPANIES WHO HAVE DRIVEN RESERVOIR INFRASTRUCTURE INTO THE GROUND: Keep up the good work!
PENSIONERS: stop drinking tea!

Wrigley’s Gum Stand 🌝
Featuring Wrigley’s moon-faced mascot, the “Spearman,” this terrifying figure once advertised packs of chewing gum in the 1920s. Made of iron with a celluloid face, it bears a worn message on its chest with a slogan that reads: “Be sure it’s Wrigley’s”.

Why no bank holidays from now until Christmas? This is why.
![Scene is a Victorian drawing room; a group of gentlemen is assembled for a meeting. At the front of the room, stood at a large blackboard, is SIR JOHN LUBBOCK, the inventor of bank holidays. The board has a calendar drawn on it. Also in the room is a SMALL DOG sat on the floor.
1
LUBBOCK:
And so gentlemen, I, Sir John Lubbock, hereby announce
2
LUBBOCK:
The invention of ‘bank holidays’!
Legally protected days off work, for the whole nation to rest.
AUDIENCE:
CLAP CLAP CLAP
3
LUBBOCK (marking days on the calendar):
My first two bank holidays shall be at Easter...
and then another straight after in May...
4
LUBBOCK:
And then - what the hell - another one in May!
And then one in August!
AUDIENCE:
Hurrah!
5
AUDIENCE MEMBER:
So many, Sir John?
LUBBOCK (grabbing him by the lapel, his face ecstatic)
Life is for living, man!
6
AUDIENCE MEMBER:
And then in the Autumn, sir….?
7
[Lubbock looks sideways. He is distracted by the SMALL DOG. It has started scooting its bum across the floor]
8
LUBBOCK:
Ugh.
[his face has dropped, it's totally grossed him out]
9
LUBBOCK:
OK that'll do
AUDIENCE MEMBER:
What?
10
AUDIENCE MEMBER:
Is that it? You’ve put loads in the summer…
LUBBOCK:
Yeah
no more bank holidays till Christmas.
11
AUDIENCE MEMBER:
Sir - have you just condemned future generations to long winters of unalleviated toil... because you saw my dog scooting its arse and it killed your vibe?
12
LUBBOCK:
It's so gross
AUDIENCE MEMBER:
Rollo can’t help it!
[dog continues to scoot across floor]
