例の「Aardmanの粘土がなくなっちゃうよ!」ニュース。
色んなソースがあったけど、The Telegraphのこのサムネが一番可愛かったので!手前のパン生地が粘土を連想させて、とてもうまい(愛のある)画像セレクトだと思う!
in the long run
意味 長い目で見れば, 長期的には (しばしば in the short run と対で用いられる)
But in the long run it is expected that Aardman will have to find a new supplier of the clay if it is to continue.

shed
意味 物置, 小屋
The decision by Paul and Valerie Dearing, the directors of Newclay Products, to retire and close their firm stunned the world of modelling, which had grown to rely on the clay originally named Lewis Newplast, after the Lewis family of art teachers who who invented it in the 1960s in a shed in Chislehurst.

reinforce
意味 〈人が〉〈建物· 服など〉を補強する, 強化する
Newplast, a nylon-reinforced air-drying clay, was an ideal modelling material for children as it did not require either the long hours or complication of firing and glazing. This also made it suitable for making models that could be easily manipulated.

正直「どこの会社でも同じような素材作れるんじゃ?」と思ってたごめんなさい。Newplastの粘土を使う理由が確かにあるんだね。
tremendous
意味 (くだけて) すばらしい, とても優れた
“It’s always given us both tremendous satisfaction that Aardman used our product. They thought it was the best material of its type in the world.”
