Commenting on anything, used to be biased towards my broadcast technology career.
Nowadays, retired, so likely to be local things like walking & wild flowers.

For UK government: purchase 1.5 million of these to stand a chance of achieving your housing numbers. 😆

Greenham Common had a long runway but was demolished, yet suitably close to a town and east-west railway connection. Meanwhile Manston remains unused...

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Rachel Reeves has been repeating for 24 hours that no full length runways have been built and opened since the 1940s. Both humans and AI chatbots say she is mistaken. In fact, says Mr Smith and Ms DeepSeek

“The last full-length runway built and opened in the UK was at **Manchester Airport**. The **second runway**, which is 3,048 meters (10,000 feet) long, was completed and officially opened in **February 2001**. This project marked the first full-length runway constructed at a major UK airport in over 50 years, designed to accommodate large commercial aircraft and increase capacity.”

On this day in 1983-Jan-17: BBC tv 'Breakfast Time', UK's first national breakfast tv prog, was launched from BBC's Lime Grove studios.
Unusually for a Radio self-op News & Current Affairs studio, I was on duty, in case interviewees for tv couldn't also get to Broadcasting House!

This is such an important role with plenty of opportunity to make it your own. Please share.

I've moved over to Bluesky, mostly now, too

@cornish_jack What about blue sky?

@zsk To me at the moment this recharging need means an EV is retrograde technology. Electric motor drive would be OK but battery power source is NBG. There might be other technologies capable of say 500 mile range - then I would consider.

Fab combination and cheese with apple pie, too. (Brought up to these menu choices by a Yorkshire born father.)
For me the much lamented decline in White Stilton cheese availability is huge... Equally up with Wensleydale.

[Joe Bangles CBE @JoeBangles11]

Fruit cake and Wensleydale cheese is a popular Northern tradition at Christmas. Is this something you've had? If not would you try this combination?

I agree with his points, so much so I hadn't even noticed the advertising tsunami that seems to have covered over car advertising. Sadly I suspect he may well be right...

Mark my words, Jaguar will go bust.

That was reported at 10:20

[Battle Weather @BattleWeather]

Now snowing quite heavily in TN33 0LD and settling.
Outside temp = 1.1°C
Wind speed = 0, but last from the NNE, so flakes (small) falling vertically

[Ｂｅｖ ＭＡＲＫＳ @bevm1066]

Similar here in Battle today, pinkness in the sky and house roofs showing the frost. At 07:30 -1.7°C

[Wendy Tagg @WendyTagg]

First properly cold feeling morning in a long time.

@Danzeeba I rather suspect this comedic sarcasm - is that a suitable description - will take quite a bit of explaining to many of your readers.

Extraordinary - maybe a "special relationship" with France is growing now the President has some local challenges...

@cornish_jack @RamblersGB Congrats - am I right thinking this is a newly created position? Wondering where I can see the role spec.

This sunset is happening now, in Battle! @bbcsoutheast

[Ｂｅｖ ＭＡＲＫＳ @bevm1066]

Battle High Street - closed to vehicles - and Abbey Green last night...

Preparing for tonight's bonfire societies parade, fireworks and bonfire on the Abbey Green.
