Well, attending a world premiere for a film wasn’t on my life bingo card but here I am away. How did we get here? A few weeks ago I received an email from The Cinema Society about a competition to win VIP ticke… https://t.co/yTukqQ2z6D

@nick_cat7 We weren't affected at all but we did go out on the Saturday night and end up near the station. 100 yards down the road there was fire and thick smoke and a lot of police. We decided we wouldn't eat there and headed back to the hotel instead!

With just a morning left of our Parisian adventure we did what AI had outlined for us and went shopping. Marks & Spencer this is not Galeries Lafayette was just a short walk down from our hotel and we arrive… https://t.co/LPChbKuIeX

One of our favourite films is Amelie, a love story set in Paris, and today we set about trying to find some of the locations of the film. Coffee, Religion and the Republic Much of what we … https://t.co/gpJ3OmHnU1

We tried out a different cafe for breakfast this morning which also give us the opportunity to check out the weather and gauge our clothing choices. It was fresh but dry and it could only get warmer, … https://t.co/zkW2xo6924

Paris is somewhere that we haven’t been for a very long time, probably 20 years or more, and so we decided that it was well overdue a visit. On the journey over, and to get me into the mood, I watched the… https://t.co/yEp8d445hE

@GHunter34920043 @OctopusEnergy I have solar and export already too so already export. This would just help cover the base load.

[Neil Thompson @NeilThompson]

@OctopusEnergy just gone to buy plug-in solar and see that they are sold out. Any idea when you will have more stock?

[Neil Thompson @NeilThompson]

@GHunter34920043 @OctopusEnergy Want to say why?

[Neil Thompson @NeilThompson]

@OctopusEnergy Perfect, thanks!

Ok, not just any churches but an Abbey and a Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and Cathedral to be precise. Westminster Cathedral The idea of visiting Westminster Cathedral was that it has a bell tow… https://t.co/Ne5SmkMhfe

@readmeclub I'd be interested in trying Leaf but it doesn't seem possible to message you.

At the third time of asking I finally managed to get to see a screening of the film “People’s Emergency Briefing“. This is, for those that haven’t heard about it, a 50 minute film about climate change… https://t.co/t21BhFmFqW

The Oxford Bus Museum is what I would call notionally in Oxford given that it is ten miles north of the city. However, it is just 15 minutes by train, which is how I arrived. Google Maps had said that from H… https://t.co/OE5wIF3RaS

I really shouldn’t have been surprised at the level of security to get into the Bank of England Museum, but I was. There are airport-style scanners through which all your stuff has to go, including anythi… https://t.co/anIHgAslnT

It is somewhat ironic that both my attempts to visit the London Transport Museum have come with transport problems. I had intended to visit last week but then the line between Reading and Paddington was cl… https://t.co/PVlBBAhRli

This is pretty poor @santanderuk. Trying to notify you of a death. What's the problem with the submission? What number do we call you on? Could there be any less information here?
