@frankcottrell_b Fantastic.Brought back memories my dear Dad taking me to Sefton Park Library regularly as a child where he would choose a book for himself my Mum and Nan who lived with us. I was left to explore. It was our time. Magical.
@frankcottrell_b@AvantiWestCoast I used to get train to Euston every week for work. Does John still say “the only train running with all staff who come from their hometown in Liverpool” and “Liverpool, forever the Capital of Culture” He made me feel like I’d arrived home even before we left Euston. Top bloke.
@DCBMEP US and rest of the world expensive to get to. My son benefited massively from Erasmus, managing a year’s study in Sweden meeting other students from across the world Neither he (nor we) could afford to send him any further afield . Why not take advantage of proximity of Europe?!
@davemorrissey64@ITVX Absolutely adored this series. All the cast exceptional and your scene with Anna at the school was mesmerising. Don’t know if it was intentional for you to straighten your jacket collar as you walked away and shoved your jacket back on but this was so in character!
@JessieWare@BAFTA@BarbraStreisand@JessieWare and @BarbaraStreisand this song and this film have been a favourite of mine forever. Jessie you absolutely took this song to a whole new dimension - thank you and the closing clip of Robert Redford just about did me in! Beautiful In Memoriam 🙌🏻❤️
Just listened to @BBCr4 Soul Music. Song was Bob Dylan’s Make You Feel. Thought that song was about unrequited love. In bits here listening to various individual stories and interpretations. Fantastic!
@VictoriaCoren@BBCTwo Confess I’ve just looked this up because I was convinced I had read somewhere (in a time and land far far long ago) this was a town in Austria not Norway. Was convinced! Well, there you go.
@bbcriotwomen I was in tears watching the scene with her character and Holly. They were both so good it felt like I was in the room with them. Very moving.
@SteveChalke@frankcottrell_b@BBCr4today Agree with all of the reasons you have given. Could also be sign of worrying trend not to go with hard work of learning a language when there are many AI tech translators in the market now? Whilst tech can be a great enabler this should not be at cost of loss of cultural aspects.
Given that Patrick Stewart is trending and record numbers of people have just voted for Reform UK who want to leave the ECHR, there seems no better time to repost this...
'What has the ECHR ever done for us?'

@hugorifkind@terrychristian Relatives of ours in California are telling us the local car dealers are putting an extra line on their invoices stating very boldly “Trump Tariff” rather than blending into the overall price. So it’s very clear.
@ace_national@HeritageFundUK 🤝 Volunteers and trainees have dedicated thousands of hours to revitalising their high streets.

Before the documentary comes out tonight - there’s a lot of scams out there pretending to be me. Do not respond to anyone who messages you personally who says they’re me. Please be careful. Do not give any personal details. Stay safe. X
@pierhousehotel@HotelsOfTheYear Congratulations so well deserved. We had the most fantastic stay with in September last year. Hotel ambience, food, service and dreamy location were all spot on ❤️
@LukeEdwardsTele Absolutely this. He had the right amount of diplomacy which the situation demanded (but not too much) and stood his ground when he needed to. Job done for now.
