#CATERPILLARWARS
Marks & Spencer is taking legal action against Aldi over a ‘copycaterpillar’ cake... but not against other supermarkets with similar products. @Maxpollard92 wrote : “Hopefully M&S won’t file a lawsuit against my sisters and I for our efforts on Mum’s birthday last year.” @julieowenmoylan asked: “Does Cuthbert taste the same as Colin? I kind of want to know.”
@clairewi said: “Personally I prefer them in their final stage: butterfly cakes.
I'll get me coat.. .” @ashley1235 wrote: “My theory is that M&S have gone after Aldi as a ‘test case’ before taking the other bigger supermarkets on. S et a precedent and then wipe the floor with the rest.” @Paulmcgarrafgy added: “I don’t like to weigh into the big, decisive debates on social media but I am declaring myself Team Cuthbert on this.” @jonyhop wrote: “I stand with whichever supermarket has the tastiest face (the bit you get when it’s your birthday!)”
@Danreeves said: “I am very loyal to Colin, but i'm OK with Colin having a brother from another mother.” @Helenmackie27 settled the issue: “Of course they are different. One is called Colin, the other Cuthbert. Not the same caterpillar at all.”
#CULLODEN
Speaking of battles, yesterday was the anniversaryofculloden. @sasha wrote: “275 years ago today that the battle of Culloden took place and forever changed the history of Scotland.” @celticwitch1 wro te: “Culloden is so important to us, it's a shame we can't go there today cause of C ovid, but we should never forget the sacrifice of our heroes who fought bravely for Scotland.”
@asimkov200 tweeted: “It was what followed Culloden; with the slaughter of Highlanders, the theft of their lands and the ethnic cleansing of the H ighlands, the destruction of our culture and the deportation of our people into bond slavery in the West In dies, which makes it so poignant.” @Marthatilghman wrote: “Culloden feels like hallowed ground.”
@indieandluna had visited: “It was quite spooky – my Strava stopped recording properly and recorded as if I’d crossed the moor rather than walked the path along Culloden Road from Balloch – really weird.”
