Here’s my thing with #GunControl. I live in the UK, people have guns. The vast majority of law abiding citizens who want guns, can do so as long as they’re deemed medically fit etc and go through the proper procedure to obtain. (Thread, 1/12)
@CortmalawMoC@HistoryPegg@LNER No, that's the train he's currently on which will be stuck somewhere as the line is closed. Mick is the train manager on the train he is stuck on, not the train that is invovled in the incident.
A bit when he interviewed various people and found they mainly are on the side of whoever their friends/family had happened to join and signed them up to, or based on the location of their nearest modern day regiment and that politics didn’t come into it much!
@TheRestHistory listening to one of your episodes from back in the day and you’re talking about the Sealed Knot. Can confirm that one of my best friends is someone who I met reenacting almost 15 years ago, he’s extremely left wing but we “fought” for the King 😂
He changed sides some years ago but only because the modern day location of other members suited him better. Someone tried to make a TV programme some years ago trying to prove that all us Royalists are Conservatives and Roundheads are modern day Puritans but it all fell down…
She told me to go and speak to the train manager but I couldn’t get through the busy corridors in time to them before we departed. I really wish there was more consistency.
I may or may not be about to get a train fine or have to buy a new ticket because @LNER station staff said ticket acceptance was in place when I asked them, but the announcement on the train say it’s not in place and the train crew member I asked didn’t know. 1/2
I have to be honest, I understand that this is prime time advertising opportunity for @Channel4 but it would have been nice if just for the opening ceremony, we could have seen it all ad-free 😔
My story of Olympic spirit from Athletics on Saturday.
I sat by a lovely man from Australia. He kept pulling out new flags from his bag & waving them. I asked him about it,
“I bring the 9 smallest nations flags with me as they won’t have many people in the stands” 🥹
