@Southern_Rail Seriously , tell people WHAT THEY NEED TO KNOW. Which coach numbers are ‘correct’ for short platforms? Announce the actual coach numbers.

@JonathanPieNews To be fair it’s a long time since I have seen a person in a red phone box making a call

@wordspinster Interesting! I had to laugh at this ad placement under the ‘over the hill’ para

@HLL8 @TUKLondonBus I waited 42 minutes for a 109 on Monday evening (Croydon to Norbury). It is shocking.

[@DeborahBestwick @DeborahBestwick]

@TfL OK! Thank you

[@DeborahBestwick @DeborahBestwick]

@TfL Please tell the driver of the 109 that just sped past the southbound Streatham Hill Station stop that some of us wanted to get on 🤬

@DanielYorkLoh Oooh, could that big red blob be an area that contributes most to the UK economy? Along with those other red patches? Google tells me yes, but who knows?

From chapel to soup kitchen, youth club to theatre, what a fascinating 50 year history of @Ovalhouse now @BrxHouseTheatre last night. Part of the brilliant Lambeth Heritage Festival, the talk by @DeborahBestwick revealed a vital history of radical theatre making. @LambethArchives

[Nilgün Yusuf @Nilgin]

@DeborahBestwick at @BrxHouseTheatre formally @Ovalhouse as part of Lambeth’s Heritage Festival. David Hare, Howard Breton, Tim Roth, Piers Brosnan woz all here once as were the Black Panthers and radical theatre groups. Proud this is my manor! @UnfinishedHist @LambethArchives

@tricyclemayor My son was born with difference. Do people really think their curiosity is reason enough for a toddler to grow up hearing ‘what’s wrong with him…wrong, wrong…WRONG’ every time the child leaves the house? Every time I said ‘there’s nothing wrong with him’ and bit back ‘F you’

[Owen Calvert-Lyons @Owencl]

Gutted to be told today that @suffolkcc will make a 100% cut to arts and culture organisations in Suffolk. This is short-term thinking! Arts and Culture organisations support the most vulnerable in our community, improve health & well-being and bring investment into our region!
