@Camera_Obscura_ @TheBarrowlands Top form last night, even in the heat.

@yhrfpod Thanks for great entertainment through the year. Next race is the gathering of awesomeness. Inspired by you guys and others over the past few runnings

[Graham Thom @GrahamThom1]

@iaindocherty Interesting. I looked at the gross disposable income figs. They are much less good but not as recent.

Well worth a read. Important point on shifting mix of people and labour market implications
