Right, we all know Blue Monday isn’t real and our mental health doesn’t fit neatly into a calendar. But as it’s trending again this year, we’ll use this moment to share some words that could hopefully bring comfort when tough days do happen.

Retweet to help us get real info out.

We need your help again with #BrewMonday this year!

Every year Blue Monday trends, and we’ve had enough – it’s a completely made-up concept. With your help we’re ready to take over the day again. ☕

Join us on 20 January and reach out for a cuppa and catch up with a mate. 💚

@HagertyUK Fiesta is a V reg and it looks new, late summer, so 1979? If it were ‘80 I’d expect an Escort Mk3, which there isn’t. BTW, I’ll take the Volvo please!

@clark_aviation @MSFSofficial I have bought three successive versions of this, which all get dropped and become unsupported. Not going to be sucked into wasting time and money with them again.

@thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar @BMMuseum Is it just me, or is the car already looking a bit knackered. My orange 1975 Mini 850 looked cleaner when I bought it in 1988. At least I remember all the panels being the same colour.

Strenuous exercise is not easy - it does hurt and it is a challenge. If it wasn't, everyone would be doing it.

Getting your heart properly pumping, for a sustained period of time, does your mind and body the world of good. It is a genuine wonder drug.

I've been involved in thousands of conversations delivering a cancer diagnosis. Please trust me, if there is anything you can do not to be involved in one of those discussions - grab it with both hands. Regular exercise, good diet and a healthy weight is absolutely a way to drastically reduce that risk.

Forming a habit doesn't happen immediately, but when it does become a habit - it will change your life. Whether that's running, rowing, cycling, swimming, gymnastics, squash, football, dancing - whatever!

People will find excuses if they look for them. They're busy with this or that. We've all got busy lives, but it's a question of priorities. If you're up to date with the latest TV series or spend hours mindlessly scrolling through social media, you have time to do 30 minutes of moving every day or two.

For whatever reason, millions of people have depressingly slipped into a state of obesity and seem entirely content. Reverse that, and the country's woeful health would be utterly transformed.

Not just that, mental health referrals are soaring - I guarantee that regular and dedicated exercise would solve a huge number of those very real problems.

I don't believe that patronising mollycoddling helps anyone. We've done it for years, and look where we are.

People will blame the Government, blame the NHS, blame anyone but themselves. Nobody can put your shoes on for you and nobody can sweat for you. Take responsibility!

Exercise hurts. Exercise works.

@ed_mcdonagh @time_nw The second showroom with the glass sides was round the corner in Midcroft, behind the petrol station forecourt, the canopy of which is still there. It also featured in an episode of Metal Mickey!
