@PHE_uk @CityofYork City of York council should close its libraries then as at least one of them was full of elderly people today, presumably encouraged by the fact that the place they usually go to was open as if everything was normal.

how elaborate do our toilet paper forts need to be to keep the virus at bay?

@IanMartin In awe.

@IanMartin @RogSaur @belabab @JonnElledge @sainsburys Not necessarily - Morrisons near me don't own 'their' car park. It is council-run so that anyone visiting local shops can use it. Probably not relevant but it does help me meet my pointless interjection quota for the day.

@Glinner @EmmaKennedy applauded the walk out. I asked if she would be happy for the same thing to happen to her if she was accused, investigated and then cleared at some point in the future. She did not reply.

@EmmaKennedy Genuinely interested - if you were accused of something, investigated and then cleared, would you think it was fair for your publisher's staff to walk out? If we can't trust legal process to decide what happened do we just judge the accused on what we reckoned happened?

@petepaphides Shit - what's the German word for the massive anxiety that descends when someone follows you because of what you now think is the best post you'll ever do and they'll quietly unfollow you the next time they have a tidy up?

@petepaphides I can only say 'Dermot Murnaghan' as 'Doimott Moinahann' like I'm a New York cabbie.

@StuartMaconie Shit, man - thought you were better than that.

@CleveBridgeUK @flatironcorp Massively confused why this is promoted. Why? Why?

A history lesson for people who think that history doesn't matter:
What's the big deal about railroad tracks?
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used?
