@RealEchobelly ooooh!!!!

@Britpopmemories Right. But I encountered another problem - I wear the band t-shirt of a different band than I've gone to see..and end up encountering that band whose t-shirt I'm wearing in the crowd..which is weird.

@tearsforfears My fave album cover ever, I have it as a framed poster in my lounge and often look at it and wonder about the individual elements - so this is fascinating to me!

@DukeofViseu @granddesigns I work in an architectural practice and this happens a lot. The alarms bells usually start to ring when they say "We don't need building regs".🫣

@Britpopmemories I remember looking around to see others reactions to the Stone Roses and seeing lots of other people doing the same. It was funny, awful and sad.

@berenyi_miki Trying to get money-saving supermarket loyalty/clubcards cards for my 97 year old next door neighbour who has no internet or smartphone is almost impossible and infuriating.

Reading and Leeds Pop looks a bit year before last. I love Jade and Charli but FFS where is the NOISE??? At least they are honest and drooped the 'festival' part because it's a 3 day pop concert.

@CrispsOfBritain OMG, thanks for bringing these to my attention, other prawn cocktail brands are made with artificial sweeteners, these are just salt and sugar, must try.

@rickygervais I was working on Slough Trading Estate at the time. Boss used to take all the new girls to an awful pub off the Farnham Rd for steak sandwiches and tell them every connection to famous thing/ people he's had. Office was scarily accurate.

@TheKentAcorn Looks like asparagus!

@salfordladsclub Ooooh!!!

When the pub dies, more goes with it than just a pint.

I saw an interview with AJ Tracey the other day and it hit the nail on the head.

Pubs are part of British culture. They’re where people meet. Where ideas are shared. Where strangers debate politics, sport, life. Where worldviews get challenged, rightly so, all over a pint.

But now? £7 pints at a push. Hundreds of closures. Fewer places to gather. Less cross-generational conversation. More isolation. More echo chambers.

If people aren’t meeting, they’re not talking. If they’re not talking, they’re not listening. And that, long term, leads to narrower thinking and a more divided society.

Reviving the pub isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about rebuilding our social fabric.
