Companies make ‘eye-watering profits’ on Britain’s Victorian living standards

PROFITEERING energy distributors are enjoying “eye-watering profits” as their own workers and bill-payers are forced into food poverty, activists have told the Morning Star newspaper.

Campaigners protested outside the Crawley offices of mega-rich UK Power Networks after Unite the union warned that its members at the biggest electricity distributor in south-east England are struggling to make ends meet.

Staff are being denied a “cost-of-living” wage boost and more than 15,000 residents in the West Sussex town are unable to pay record-high energy bills as the firm’s profits top £2.4 billion, the union charged.

Research commissioned by Unite shows that a fifth of Crawley’s population — 23,700 people — are suffering from food poverty as 40-year high inflation combines with a move by Tory ministers to freeze gas and electricity costs at an average annual high of £2,500.

The study, conducted by leading polling firm Survation, also reveals that nearly a third of people in the area have either gone into debt or increased their debt levels to meet soaring grocery costs.

The energy bills of a quarter of British households are therefore being inflated by the firm’s “excessive profits, in turn hurting communities like Crawley,” the union argued.

“It’s time to challenge the profiteers and end corporate greed,” Ms Graham said. “Workers and communities must join together to demand higher wages and freedom from fuel and food poverty.”

RadioOmens (Good Omens Radio BBC Adaptation) Ep 1+2

The differences and little bits of information regarding Crowley and Aziraphale I got from it and how you all need to listen to it, it's SO good.

-Aziraphale already knows Crawley's name on the wall, and Crawley hates it even then, Aziraphale tells him that he chose to be a serpent.

-The animals in the garden of Eden all freak out as Adam and Eve walk through.

-Instead of God reading out the facts of the earth, its Aziraphale! He's somewhat of a narrator here.

-Crowley calls Hastur and Ligur while stuck in traffic as they're lurking with the anti-christ at the start, Crowley winds them up about the M25.

-He has a 1926 Bentley, not a 1933 one in this version.

-Neil and Terry voice two road control officers chasing Crowley on the M25!

-Crowley brought down the mobile phone exchange for ONLY 45 minutes. Which is both hilarious and embarrassing for him.

-The conversation between Mr Dowling and Crowley is so funny just saying.

-Demons DO buy books.

-Aziraphale has a tiny married couple fit about Crowley not telling him instantly about him with the baby, in this version, it isn't because the phone lines are down, it's because Crowley is "too busy".

-Crowley developed Manchester, Aziraphale Shropshire, Milton Keynes was dead heat (both equally done basically) which is hilarious if you know anything about Milton Keynes.

-Heaven has "the best choreographers". Crowley finds this funny.

-Aziraphale instantly dibs the gardener role, Crowley begrudgingly takes the nanny, mentioning "Have you seen me in a skirt?" Aziraphale tells him, "Culloden 1745". Which technically means that in Canon, Crowley has worn a kilt.

-AGNES NUTTER IS VOICED BY Josie Lawrence, the same actress in the show!!

-Adam actually wants a dog, he'd asked his dad for one for his birthday.

-Anathema comments of Crowley's eyes.

-Crowley quite likes the luggage rack Aziraphale forces on the Bentley.

-Anathema whispers a little "Angel?" After Crowley calls Aziraphale that, which is the best thing ever.

-Aziraphale puts like 40 policemen to sleep at the paintball, and mentions what Gabriel is going to think.

I'll do the other episodes soon lol.

also just got caught out by David Tennant popping up as an Ad at the end, with no idea he was going to be in the TV Adaptation in a couple years lmao.

I don’t want to lose you again

Alex gets a phone call from the hospital saying that his uncle was in a bad accident. Except, Ian Rider died four years ago...

T+, Alex Rider Fandom ( Alex Rider - Anthony Horowitz, Alex Rider (TV 2020)), Alex & Yassen, Pre-slash Alex/Yassen

Written for @shehungthemoon prompt for @alexinchainsfest

~7k words, No warnings apply, Light Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Medical Inaccuracies, Sickfic,

Preview under the cut:

Alex was already running late to his university class when his cell phone started to ring.

He reached into his pocket intending to turn off the phone's ringer, assuming that the incoming call was from Jack, Sabina or Tom. They were the only people who kept in contact with him regularly. 

It was an unknown number, with a 115 area code, Nottingham if Alex remembered correctly. It was likely a spam call; someone trying to sell him something or waste his time. Ian always said to never answer them, plus if it was really that important whoever was calling could just leave a message. 

And- Alex stole a glance at the time, if he did not get out of here in the next minute he would miss his train. 

There was just something odd nagging at him. Alex pulled the slightly burnt piece of toast out of his mouth and pressed down on the answer button. 

“Hello, May I speak with Alex Rider?” The female voice on the other end of the line spoke. Whoever this unknown number was…well, they knew who he was.

“Who is asking?” 

“I’m Sarah, a nurse at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham. I am calling for Alex Rider?

“What?” Alex responded rather confused. Why would a nurse from a hospital miles away call him on this dreary weekday morning. Heck, why at all? It’s not like he had an appointment up there. “Uh… This is him.” 

Alex slid himself onto one of the high stools. He did not know anyone in Nottingham. Jack and Sab were both in America, Tom was or should be in his Uni classes. None of them were anywhere near Nottingham. His mind briefly flashed to Ben Daniels. It had been months, almost a year now, since he had spoken to Ben. Ben might have been from Birmingham or Manchester. But if it was Ben…. Alex would have expected Wolf or Crawley to pass the news on to him.  

“Well Alex.  I’m calling regarding your loved one, Ian Rider. And, I wanted to inform you that they have been admitted to our hospital.” 

“What the fuc-“ Alex started to respond before catching himself, “Sorry. I just am really not expecting this. You said my uncle, Ian Rider, is in the hospital?” 

“Yes. I know the news can come as a bit of a shock,” She continued, “He was involved in a serious accident when his motorbike collided with oncoming traffic. He listed your name and phone number to the medical personnel at the scene, before being med flown to Queen’s Medical center. He is currently in the Intensive Burn unit at the hospital. I am calling firstly to inform you of his condition but also because you are listed as Ian’s medical proxy, and legally are able to make decisions on his behalf for treatment.” 

Alex ran a hand through his hair. It was unbelievable. There is no way Ian is still alive? Or was there? It was a closed casket at the funeral. Ian or even Alan Blunt could have faked his death. Four years…

It was a long time. And, if Ian was alive why didn’t he try to make contact with Alex before that? Why would he just abandon him? Especially if he knew Blunt and Jones would take advantage?  Alex felt just a bit angry.

“Alright,” Alex repeated, turning his focus back to the phone call,  “What happened? And what do I have to do?” 

“Firstly, Ian has suffered from second and third degree burns on his right side. The third degree burns extend through the entire thickness of his skin, are more challenging to treat and may require skin grafts.  He also sustained a head injury. We’ve conducted relevant diagnostic tests which showed swelling. Our main concern here is increased pressure on his brain from his skull. But, we need consent in order to do surgery.” 

“My consent, right?” Alex asked 

“Correct. We also want to make sure that you know the procedure, the risks and the benefits, along with answering any questions you might have.” 

“That is the best thing to do, right? That’s what the doctors are recommending?” 

“The sooner we reduce the swelling and pressure on the skull the better.” 

“Alright, yeah do that. I’m definitely not going to make it to my class today…. You said Nottingham?”

“Yes, that is correct.” The nurse responded.

“Good. I’ll be on the next train up.”  With that Alex ended the phone call, and pondered what had just happened. He felt nauseous, like the room was spinning way too fast around him. 

On one hand, Ian could be dead. There was always a chance that there are two Ian Riders with the same birthdays in the UK- maybe the other Ian had a nephew named Alex. Alex was a common enough name. So was Rider.  On the other hand, Ian could be very much alive. Which brought Alex full of emotions. If he was alive why did he wait four years to contact Alex, why was he in Nottingham, and why didn’t anyone tell him? A thought dawned on Alex. Maybe they did not even know Ian was still alive.

@kehlana-wolhamonao3 thank you so much for tagging me for Six Sentences Sunday Monday :)) Here's my entry, from a Downton Abbey AU where Lady Mary Crawley is married to Patrick and meets Matthew during the war.

"If they were flirting… it was a meaningless flirtation; only a distraction, surely, from the war, from the utter despair and destruction and devastation they were surrounded by… Something to take their minds off it, just for a little while. She was Lady Mary Crawley… and she was married.

 And if… sometimes, she looked up to see his piercing blue eyes resting on her face with an expression she could not (or perhaps did not want to) read, and if the air between them thickened strangely when they were together… and if their hearts beat just a little faster and their hands and fingertips brushed against each other’s more frequently than they should … It meant nothing. Nothing was going to happen between them, that was quite certain. And when the war was over… he would go back to his home in Manchester, and she would return to Downton, to her husband, to her role as the future Countess of Grantham. Matthew - Lieutenant Crawley - meant nothing to her! 

She did not know - she could not know, then… how very wrong she was."

Things Given to Tomorrow, Chapter Sixteen

See you next week with another installment! We're doing this thing! :D

Preview for Chapter Sixteen under the cut:

Her aunt’s trousered knee brushed softly against her own, and Sybbie glanced to her at her right. Aunt Edith smiled very, very briefly to acknowledge the contact, but they didn’t speak. They couldn’t. The journalist sat in the chair near the sitting room door, the fireplace at his left side warm, crackling, and inviting as he scratched down the date and names of the people sitting nearest him: Lady Mary Talbot, George Crawley, and the young Matthew Crawley. Donk sat in a chair on his own —the heavy, needle-pointed thing pulled to the center of the rug, closer to the journalist, to the photographer — in pride of place. Edith and Sybbie sat behind the couch, near the piano, watching. Sybbie heard the camera the photographer held take a photo beside her, and she looked up at him, catching his eye for a moment before he turned away. 

Her eyes went back to Donk. 

“So, just to confirm what we’ve discussed,” the journalist flipped notebook papers over and read from them, “The central piece of the house was the monks' refectory of an abbey that King Henry sold after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It developed over time as a residential home and country seat for the Earl of Grantham, being first built in 1679. Erm … The house as we know it now was redesigned by the famous architect Sir Charles Barry in the 1840s. Yes?”

Donk didn’t nod, but lifted his white brows. 

“Of course great houses take quite a lot of funding and revenue to operate and in the 1880s, it was in danger of being sold away piecemeal?”

Mary sat straighter. “Well, not exactly piecemeal, but there were some debts, yes.”

Sybbie noticed that the journalist made no corrections in his notebook, but muttered a small, “Alright. But, in danger, nonetheless?”

“Yes, but —“

“It would have gone. Yes,” George added.

The journalist nodded. “And in the fashion of the many other American heiresses, the late Lady Grantham saved the estate in 18…90. Early 1890.”

“‘In the fashion’ you say?”

Sybbie watched Donk blink at the journalist who quickly met Aunt Mary’s eye and then looked back at him. 

“Well, we’re going to discuss how there was such an influx of American heiresses in the late 1800s. Jennie Jerome, that is, Lady Randolph Churchill; Conseulo Montagu, the Duchess of Manchester —“

“Lady Grantham’s story isn’t quite the same as theirs.”

Airbus A321 GB Airways operated as British Airways

Registration: G-TTIB Type: 321-231 Engines: 2 × IAE V2533-A5 Serial Number: 1433 First flight: Jan 31, 2001

GB Airways was a British airline; prior to its sale, it was headquartered in "The Beehive", a former terminal building, at City Place Gatwick, London Gatwick Airport in Crawley, West Sussex, England. The airline was originally created as Gibraltar Airways in 1931. During the late 1980s, it was decided to relocate the company from Gibraltar to Britain; accordingly, a new base was established at The Beehive and the airline was formally rebranded GB Airways Ltd on 3 January 1989. During its latter years of operations, GB Airways operated scheduled services as a British Airways franchise to 30 destinations in Europe and North Africa from Gatwick and as well as Heathrow and Manchester.

The Journey of Living at Downton

Chapter 2: September to October 1912

Masterlist

As the season turned to autumn, they all waited in anticipation for the new heir, this Mathew Crawley, a middle class lawyer and son to a middle class doctor, to arrive with his mother. There were those that were displeased and those looking forward to it. Emma personally doesn't really care about his social position but obviously some do. Lord Grantham had been the only one that had met him so far in London while the rest of them wait in anticipation for the big event.

Naturally, it came up in discussion on the day of their arrival. They are staying in Crawley house in the Village.

"So, what do you think we'll make of them?" Thomas speaks as many of them are gathered in the Servants' Hall.

"I shouldn't think much. She hasn't even got a lady's maid." Miss O'Brien says with disdain but what's new?

"It's not a capital offence," Anna says kindly.

Mr Bates also defends the newcomers. "She's got a maid; her name's Ellen. She came a day early."

"She's not a lady's maid. She's just a housemaid that fastens hooks and buttons when she has to. There's more to it than that, you know." Miss O'Brien adds snippily. Funny how servants are snobbish as well as their employers.

Mrs Patmore shouts in the distance. "Daisy!" Though Daisy does not move.

"You will have to give us every bit of detail after dinner," Emma says, addressing William and Thomas.

"Are we to treat him as the heir?" William asks innocently.

"Are we heck as like? A doctor's son from Manchester? He'll be lucky if he gets a civil word out of me." Miss O'Brien declares irritably.

"We're all lucky if we get a civil word out of you." Anna remarks and Emma stifles a laugh so that Miss O'Brien does not turn her ire onto her.

Mr Carson enters with a package and they stand. "Gwen, parcel for you. Came by the evening post."

"Thank you, Mr Carson." She takes the parcel and sits back down very quickly. Emma squints her eyes at her, she had been terribly secretive lately.

Carson motions for the servants to sit which they do.

"William?" Mr Carson speaks.

Thomas then interrupts, "Have you seen them yet, Mr Carson?"

"By "them", I assume you mean the new family, in which case, no. I have that pleasure to look forward to this evening."

Mrs Patmore enters. "Daisy, did you hear me call, or have you gone selectively deaf?!" Emma smiles to herself, Mrs Patmore is always good with quick quips.

"No, Mrs Patmore."

"Then might I remind you we are preparing dinner for your future employer, and if it goes wrong, I'll be telling them why!" Daisy rushes after Mrs Patmore.

——

It is time for the big arrival and Emma is prepared for a great deal of second hand embarrassment; she is somewhat glad she doesn't have to be there during their dinner.

Lord Grantham goes to greet them and leads them, with William and Thomas walking behind, into the Great Hall where the house staff are lined up as Lady Grantham, the Dowager, and the girls enter from the other side and line up opposite.

"Welcome to Downton." Lady Grantham says. Emma couldn't help but stare at the newbies from the corner of her eye and can see the others do the same thing.

"Thank you. You've been so kind." Mrs Crawley responds. She seems to be quite able to adapt to the new circumstances.

"What a reception committee!" The son on the other hand. Though to be honest Emma would have been the exact same if when she arrived, she saw everybody lined up like this.

The family is surprised and amused by his comment. Mrs Crawley senses the awkwardness of his comment and tries to recover. "Yes, thank you."

Lord Grantham gives the impression of being in agreement with moving past the faux pas. "This is Carson. We'd all be lost without him." The man somehow puffs up his chest even more. "Mama, may I present Matthew Crawley and Mrs Crawley, my mother, Lady Grantham."

Mrs Crawley steps forward and holds out her hand. "What should we call each other?"

The Dowager Countess of Grantham looks at her oddly. "Well, we could always start with Mrs Crawley and Lady Grantham." Well, that's a bit rude.

Lady Grantham steps forward to guide Mrs Crawley. "Come into the Drawing room and we can make all the proper introductions."

The Dowager looks at Mr Carson, who tries to contain his amused smirk. The family moves into the next room, Lady Mary and Mr Crawley appear to be conveniently placed next to one another though Lady Mary looks less than pleased.

——

"Why shouldn't he be a lawyer?" Daisy asks in the Kitchen during the family's dinner. Turns out that the new heir has gotten a job and wants to continue working as a lawyer, which has set everybody off.

"Gentlemen don't work, silly. Not real gentlemen." Miss O'Brien remarks. Yes, and live off everybody else's hard work.

"Don't listen to her, Daisy," Anna says from her place next to Mr Bates where they were having a quiet conversation with each other.

"No, listen to me!" Mrs Patmore snaps. "And take those kidneys up to the server room before I knock you down and serve your brains as fritters!"

"Yes, Mrs Patmore!" Daisy leaves with the food on a tray as William and Thomas arrive with theirs.

"I wonder what Mr Molesley thinks of them." Emma wonders. Mr Molesley is the man who had taken the position of Valet and Butler for the new Crawleys. If they had turned up without someone already in that position, she keeps thinking how they are probably already finding the man hovering around awkward.

"Poor old Molesley. I pity the man who's taken that job." Thomas says snidely.

"Then why did you apply for it?" Mr Bates quips. Emma chews her lip anxiously; it is always uncomfortable when these two interact with one another.

"I thought it might help me to get away from you, Mr Bates," Thomas says, looking right at Mr Bates.

"Thomas..." Emma gives him a look. He seems to soften slightly but not much at her disapproval.

——

After cleaning the Dining room, Thomas and Emma are talking about Mrs Crawley and the Dowager.

"She a feisty one then?" She asks.

"I should say so. She's a match for the old lady. She wasn't going to give in." Emma smiles at that.

Just as they are about to turn into the Servants' Hall, Mr Carson appears. "What old lady are you referring to, Thomas? You cannot mean Her Ladyship the Dowager Countess. Not if you wish to remain in this house."

"No, Mr Carson," Thomas answers sourly. Emma looks down when Mr Carson glances at her.

Mr Carson passes them to enter the Servants' Hall where William is playing the piano as the others are placed around different areas of the room.

They stand as Mr Carson enters. "William? Are you aware the seam at your shoulder is coming apart?"

"I-I felt it go a bit earlier. I'll mend it when we turn in." William stammers.

"You will mend it now and you will never again appear in public in a similar state of undress." Mr Carson snaps.

"No, Mr Carson," William answers quietly.

"To progress in your chosen career, William, you must remember that a good servant at all times retains a sense of pride and dignity that reflects the pride and dignity of the family he serves. And never make me remind you of it again." And with that Mr Carson leaves. They all turn to glance at William.

"I'll do it." Daisy pipes up helping William remove his coat. "And cheer up. We've all had a smack from Mr Carson."

Anna also tries to reassure him. "You'll be the butler yourself one day. Then you'll do the smacking." Really can't imagine William being one bit like Mr Carson.

"I could never be like him. I bet he comes from a line of butlers that goes back to the conqueror." William replies gloomily.

"He learned his business and so will you. Even Mr Carson wasn't born standing to attention." Mr Bates tells him.

"I hope not for his mother's sake." Thomas remarks with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Emma pulls a face at the sight of it. Him and Miss O'Brien always seemed to be smoking out the back when they could, likely plotting. It made her concerned for their health, even Miss O'Brien's. Sadly, the science wasn't there to tell them that they were at high risk of getting cancer or any other illnesses.

"Can you imagine if Mr Carson was in the circus in his past and he's trying to keep it secret so not to ruin his image?" Emma jokes. Some laugh at her remark and it brings a slight smile to William's face.

——

The next day, Mr Bates and Emma are walking through the Village when they see Mr Carson hurrying into The Dog and Duck, checking that no one sees him entering, but missing them as they walk past the Hospital. She glances at Mr Bates and she can see he looks as confused as she is.

They reach their destination, the Crawley house and meet with Mr Molesley who takes them up to Mr Crawley's room telling them all about Mr Crawley.

"He chooses his clothes himself. He puts them out at night and hangs the ones he's worn. I get to take the linen down to the laundry, but that's about all." Mr Molesley tells them.

"That's all?" Mr Bates asks in surprise.

""I'll do this," he says. "I'll take the other. I'll tie that." I'm just stood there like a chump, watching a man get dressed. To be honest, Mr Bates, Emma, I don't see the point of it." Emma frowns at the lack of validity Mr Molesley seems to be getting.

"Cheer up." She speaks. "I'm sure he's just getting used to it all. He's never had someone there to help him before. Maybe it will change."

Mr Molesley does not look hopeful.

——

That night Emma walks into the room she shares with Gemma to see her settling into bed placing some letters to the side. Emma walks over to blow out the candles on the dresser.

"It is funny, you know," Gemma says.

"What?"

"How when you arrived it was like you were unused to lighting candles. It seemed like you did not do it often before you came here." Gemma remarks.

Emma shifts uncomfortably. Little does Gemma know that she's more used to electricity lighting up rooms and not candles.

Emma quickly changes the subject. "You will never guess what Thomas heard in the Library today." She tells Gemma as she walks over to her bed and gets under the covers.

"What?" Gemma asks with a small smile on her face.

"He heard the Dowager when she was coming in from the garden with Lord Grantham. Seems they want to get her with Mr Crawley. Lady Mary is going to love that." Emma smirks at the thought.

"Well, they don't want to give it all to a stranger. And she was going to marry Mr Patrick to keep it." Gemma muses.

"Would she? She never seemed interested in him. Only liked the idea of being countess and having one over Lady Edith." Emma turns away to blow out the last candle before lying down to sleep.

——

"I'm sorry, but I have standards." Miss O'Brien declares as Anna enters and sits down next to Mr Bates who is on Emma's right.

"I've just seen something ever so odd," Anna whispers so that only the three of them hear.

"What?" Mr Bates whispers back.

Before she can answer, Miss O'Brien's rant increases in volume. "And if anyone thinks I'm going to pull my forelock and curtsy to this..." Emma sees over her shoulder Lady Grantham appears. "...Mr Nobody from Nowhere—"

"O'Brien." Lady Grantham interrupts, causing the rant to stop and all of them to stand.

"Were you discussing Mr Crawley?" Lady Grantham asks.

"Yes, milady." Miss O'Brien says quieter than before but not backing down.

"Is it your place to do so?"

"I've got my opinions, milady, same as anybody." Miss O'Brien defends.

Mrs Hughes enters. "Can I help Your Ladyship?"

"This is the button we're missing from my new evening coat, I found it lying on the gravel," she gives it to Mrs Hughes, "but I was shocked at the talk I heard as I came in. Mr Crawley is His Lordship's cousin and heir. You will, therefore, please accord him the respect he's entitled to."

"But you don't like him yourself, milady. You never wanted him to—" Miss O'Brien tries.

The Countess of Grantham is not listening. "You're sailing perilously close to the wind, O'Brien. If we're to be friends, you will not speak in that way again about the Crawleys or any member of Lord Grantham's family. Now, I'm going up to rest. Wake me at the dressing gong." She leaves and they sit back down.

"I don't think that's fair. Not here in the Servants' Hall." Thomas says from the bottom of the table.

"I agree. If she was a real lady, she wouldn't have come down here. She'd have rung for me and given me the button, that's all." Miss O'Brien utters.

"You are just annoyed she caught you," Emma says. Miss O'Brien gives her a look.

Thomas continues. "This isn't their territory; we can say what we like down here."

"Who says?" Mrs Hughes sternly questions.

"The law. And parliament. There is such a thing as free speech." Heard enough of those last two words back in her own time from idiots.

"Not when I'm in charge! Don't push your luck, Thomas. Now, tea's over. Back to work. You'd better take this." Mrs Hughes hands Miss O'Brien Lady Grantham's coat button. Everyone begins tidying away what they were doing and getting up to get back to work.

""Friends." Who does she think she's fooling? We're not friends." Miss O'Brien mutters.

"No?" Anna questions.

"No. And neither you nor Emma are friends with the girls, either. We're servants, you and me," Miss O'Brien stands, "and they pay us to do as we're told, that's all."

——

Anna and Emma often take turns doing the different activities to help the girls get dressed for dinner. Tonight, Anna is tidying away their things and Emma does Lady Mary's hair as she is once again the last one to be finished.

"Why are you so against him?" Lady Sybil asks, standing next to them fiddling with her gloves as Emma puts the finishing touches to her sister's hair. Emma is quite proud of herself for how good it looked. Learning how to do these specific styles was difficult when she first turned up here and led to a lot of fiddling with Anna and Gemma's own hair for practice.

"Aside from the fact he's planning to steal our inheritance?" Lady Mary alleges.

"Your inheritance." Lady Edith points out from her seat on the bed. "It makes no difference to Sybil and me. We won't inherit, whatever happens."

"He isn't one of us." Lady Mary declares. She was clearly trying to find any excuse why the man is not fit to inherit plus she's a snob.

"Cousin Freddy's studying for the bar, and so is Vivian McDonald." Lady Sybil says as she moves to sit down in a chair.

"At Lincoln's Inn. Not sitting at a dirty little desk in Ripon. Besides, his father was a doctor." Lady Mary says with disdain. Emma moves away from Lady Mary and joins Anna in picking up the last of the things around the room.

"There's nothing wrong with doctors. We all need doctors." Lady Sybil tells her. Emma spots Lady Edith going through letters that were likely to Lady Mary.

"We all need crossing sweepers and draymen, too, it doesn't mean we have to dine with them." Lady Sybil huffs in disbelief at that as Anna opens the door to reveal Lady Grantham.

"Whom don't we have to dine with?" She chirps. Anna and Emma step out of the room.

They hear Lady Edith's remark of "Mary doesn't care for Cousin Matthew", as they close the door.

As they walk to the servants' door on the floor, Emma turns when hearing the door open again and sees Ladies Edith and Sybil leaving the room.

She nudges Anna's side. "Looks like Lady Mary is getting her surprise then. Her Ladyship seems to have managed to get her on her own."

"She won't be happy with it," Anna replies. Poor Mr Crawley he's in for a grumpy Lady Mary tonight.

——

Later that evening a bunch of them were shockingly sitting in the Servants' Hall. Emma sits with Gemma and another maid, Anne, sewing this and that. The Hall is full of music as William plays the piano.

"I wish I could dance like that." Daisy wonders from her seat next to Thomas.

"Like what?" He asks.

Daisy holds up a book with, Emma could only guess, some dance steps mapped out.

"Don't you know the grizzly bear?" Thomas asks as Daisy moves it for the rest of them to see.

Mr Bates chuckles. "The grizzly bear. As if you do." Anna has a wide smile on her face and by this point, William has stopped playing.

"Certainly, I do. Miss O'Brien, shall we show them?" Thomas asks stubbing out his cigarette in the tray and getting up.

"Not likely." Miss O'Brien remarks from the corner. Anna and Mr Bates laugh while Gemma and Emma look at each other quietly chuckling.

"William, give us a tune. Come on, Daisy." Thomas says, grabbing the girl's hand and dragging her up.

"Go on," Anna encourages.

"Hands up." Thomas puts his hands up into claws and growls and the rest of them laugh and clap as he begins to pull Daisy around. Even Miss O'Brien has a small smile on her face.

After a short while, Mrs Patmore comes in, wiping her brow. "Daisy. Daisy!" The music and merriment stop. "Stop that silly nonsense before you put your joints out. See to the range and go to bed."

Daisy turns to Thomas in awe. "Thank you, that was beautiful." They clap and Thomas bows as Daisy leaves.

Emma hopes no one would notice her smile dipping.

——

Not long after she slips away to her room hoping it was unnoticed. Emma needs to be on her own for a moment. All that happiness and togetherness reminds her of her family, the times she would spend with her siblings when they were kids. And now knowing she will never see them again.

Emma's sniffles begin to turn into snobs when she hears a knock at the door. She stands and goes to the door thinking it is probably Gwen, Gemma or Anna, maybe even Mrs Hughes. It is none of them on the other side but Thomas. Emma simply blinks at him and she can tell that he can see that she's been crying.

"Um..." He shifts a bit looking back into the corridor. "Can I come in? I'm not exactly supposed to be on this side remember?"

That snapped Emma out of her surprise and she lets him into the room.

"I noticed you were upset. What happened?"

"What was going on downstairs reminded me of my family. We used to dance about in our Kitchen, you know." She tells him sniffling.

"Thought you did not remember anything." He says smirking. Thomas is the only one who knows about her remembering her family, but she's never told him about her coming from the future to just simply avoid lots of questions. He accepts that she doesn't want to tell him everything.

"Ssh." She says smiling more now as she shoves his shoulder. "I take it that dinner was a match made in hell?"

He laughs. "I don't think there will be any match between Lady Mary and Mr Crawley happening any time soon by how she treated him at dinner."

Emma laughs. "Not surprised considering the way she talked about him before dinner then what her mother likely said to her about maybe marrying him."

They quietened then. "Thank you, Thomas. You should probably go though. Don't want to face Mrs Hughes' wrath too soon after the last time."

He nods patting her arm before slipping through the door.

——

Listen to her thinking the only exciting thing next would be some travelling salesman setting up at the pub for an afternoon when actually the more exciting bit was seeing the Dowager being put in her place. Mrs Crawley has been placed by Lord Grantham as chairman of the Hospital Board after fighting for a new treatment that saved the life of one of Lord Grantham's tenants despite the Dowager's fight to stop it. This new role meant that the president of said board, the Dowager, will have to listen to her and she'll no longer have absolute rule. So, suffice to say some of us were gleeful.

Pretty much all of them from downstairs are going to the ceremony at the Hospital. Really Emma just wants to, in Mrs Hughes' words, see the old bat's face when they announce it.

When the ceremony arrived, everyone, who was sitting down in the audience, all rise when Dr Clarkson entered with the Dowager and Mrs Crawley, then sit when the ladies do.

Dr Clarkson speaks, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this happy event: the investiture of our first chairwoman, Mrs Reginald Crawley, who has graciously agreed to share the duties of our beloved president, the Dowager Countess of Grantham." The Dowager is clearly not pleased by the power play. "Our little Hospital must surely grow and thrive with two such doughty champions united as they are by the strongest ties of all, family and friendship."

Everyone in the room could feel the heavy irony.

Several football clubs are associated with NFTs. This shows their inclination towards the crypto world. While many sports consultants and commercial officers want to convince people that this association is to increase utility and fan engagement, to many others it looks like it is a financial notion crafted to enhance the already rich at the expense of suspicious fans. But a year later, this involvement of football clubs in the crypto sector has turned to broken bricks. The recent report by dappGambl, a crypto and online gambling website said that many high-profile NFTs promoted by celebrities and athletes are now virtually worthless, around 95% of all NFTs analyzed in its sample. The Athletic, last year, found that nearly every Premier League club had promoted a cryptocurrency project that had crashed in value. Some of the clubs supporting NFTs include the Manchester United and LFC Heroes Club. Neymar, Paul Pogba, and John Terry are some of the big names who promoted NFT schemes which are no longer worth investing in. LFC Hero’s Membership Liverpool launched an NFT scheme to offer fans the digital artwork of 23 players and the manager, which is cartoon-styled. This initiative was launched in March last year. Although this initiative attracted disrespect from the fans, Liverpool says that the scheme raised about £280,000 for the LFC foundation and contributed to the work on education and employment programs and also for disability support. The club also said that the scheme is not about investment but about creating an online community where fans can connect and engage with like-minded people and enjoy that range of ongoing benefits. But the last tweet on the X platform accounts from last year and the server on Discord is virtually dormant too. Manchester United Manchester United’s NFT scheme is more active than Liverpool’s. The scheme is carried out in coexistence with the blockchain firm Tezos. The club built a partnership with the Tezos which sponsors the club’s training gears. The deal was announced in February 2022 and since then Tezos token has lost 85% of its value. It is difficult to know the exact purpose of the scheme but the club is promoting the digital collectibles of Manchester United regularly. The club says that their scheme is different from others because there are a lot of free NFTs available. These will give me access to genuine rewards, and matchday experience, and ask me anything to talk with the players. The scheme is still active. Paul Pogba The French midfielder Paul Pogba posted a video on social media X promoting a scheme called as “Cryptodragons.” This scheme is also virtually worthless and those who have owned it have lost almost all invested. John Terry Former Chelsea and England captain John Terry’s Ape Kid’s Football Club (AKFC) has become symbolic of the sports NFT craze. Terry and the top footballers promoted a storyline that said that in a magical world that ruled the metaverse, magical thousand-year-old trees sprouted cute baby apes. The scheme started by selling “apes” for around $200. These are now worthless. They have provided benefits like participation in the AKFC World Cup game. But this doesn’t happen. WAGMI United Crawley Town, the club that was taken over by WAGMI United, is a group of American NFT investors with the new owners promising to take Crawley up the divisions through the use of NFTs.  The club is now for sale again. The club is reportedly now on the top but as for NFTs the sales trickle. WAGMI in August denied the group is not abandoning Web3 and is not rugging the community (taking people’s money and running away). Further, they added that they are currently active with the NFT strategy. Sorare Sorare NFT schemes, which is not so famous football scheme, has a big partnership with the Premier League La Liga and the Bundesliga. The company sells NFTs which are intended to function like a fantasy football game. One of the issues with this scheme is that it is highlighted as an investment product regardless of the company’s claim to the contrary.

However, it has proved to be fairly strong despite the wider NFT crash. Son Heung-min and Neymar The Tottenham player, Son Heung-min supported a scheme called NFTSTAR last year. He promoted the scheme on X but later deleted it when followed by fan backlash. Similarly, the Paris Saint-Germain player, Neymar also promoted the scheme but has stopped now. The posts from NFTSTAR have also stopped and moderators have abandoned the Discord server. Croatian footballers Many Croatian footballers and Inter Milan players have also promoted the scheme. Marcelo Brozovic now plays in Saudi Arabia, also promoting the scheme. This scheme has lost 98 percent of its value. Summary Many NFT projects promoted by football clubs, celebrities and athletes lost all the craze that was seen when the tokens were launched. Many of the schemes highlighted by the clubs and the players have ended. Despite heavy investments and engagement, the projects are now worthless.

C'est 19 contre 9, si vous êtes dans toute la ligue, et une chance pour les deux équipes de commencer 2023 comme elles veulent continuer.La forme à domicile de Forest va sûrement décider s'ils restent debout, et jusqu'à présent, ça a été plutôt bon : P8 W3 D2 L3. Cela inclut une bonne série récente de huit points en quatre matchs, dont une célèbre victoire contre Liverpool en octobre.Bien que Chelsea soit un grand favori en raison de ses footballeurs supérieurs, Forest a une chance de remporter une autre grande victoire contre une équipe qui a lutté loin de chez elle cette saison. Chelsea a déjà perdu quatre fois en championnat, soit autant de défaites que dans toutes les compétitions sur la route la saison dernière. Avant la Coupe du monde, ils ont été pris en embuscade 4-1 à Brighton puis bien battus par Newcastle, même si le score n'était que de 1-0.La victoire sur Bournemouth après Noël était beaucoup plus encourageante, beaucoup plus "Potterball", mais c'était à Stamford Bridge. Et ils ont eu Reece James pendant une heure, ce qui ne sera pas le cas aujourd'hui.
