@nickofnz By all means stand in the sunshine if you need some vit D after a gloomy winter. Remind me of the route the container ships with the solar panel imports from China take?
@RevRichardColes @TfL ‘Following a public consultation in 2007, request stops were abolished and drivers were instructed to stop at all stops where someone was waiting.’
@RevRichardColes @TfL Happened to me on another route. Grrr. Request stops are a thing of the past and drivers doing this should be sanctioned https://t.co/T2IsKpIaEY
@lemnsissay Before anyone realised how bad smoking was this was just entertaining, boys acting grown up and doing a (small) grown person’s job. What I like is the boys clearly have responsibility in their work and a bit of independence. A reminder to me how modern world underestimates kids
@JamesRice21 Walsingham is easy! Not many rural villages are reliably reachable entirely by public transport! There’s a perfectly good local bus #useitorloseit@mylynxbus
@RevRichardColes It’s the nice plain soft cover and size like a well used Filofax. My christening Bible is like this printed on that lovely crisp thin wafer paper with gold edges
@dieworkwear Roam the branches of @Waterstones and you’ll find these handwritten staff picks in every section, just one technique to engage customers and personalise selling
@fugitiveink@TimLewi53640836@collected_mind The current exhibition of Tirzah Garwood’s work is also great (at Dulwich Picture Gallery until 26 May) and I could not recommend more highly ‘Long Live Great Bardfield: The Autobiography of Tirzah Garwood’ published by Persephone Books
@DalrympleWill@EmpirePodUK Cecil Woodham-Smith author of The Great Hunger was just 20 in 1916 and got herself rusticated from St Hilda’s for taking part in pro Irish demonstrations.
@DalrympleWill@EmpirePodUK An excellent listen. Particularly chuffed to hear the great Colm Toibin speak kindly and favourably of Cecil Woodham-Smith’s The Great Hunger. (Disclosure: my spiky and charismatic grandmother.) Impressive going for a book published 1962
