@eamonn_gormley @London_W4 Signed in to X for the first time in 2.5 years, and this was the first thing I saw. Glad to see Twitter/X is still teeming with people who like to spread bad vibes, as it always used to be 🙄... *takes another 2 year break*

"West London breathes the cleanest air for a decade, as huge electrical fire near Heathrow shoots toxic fumes into atmosphere..."

@fostersbookshop Thank you for the Yeats. We already have Carol Ann Duffy and Seamus Heaney so I decided to put this on the back cover!

Can anyone help with Thames tide advice on Chiswick Mall? Yours truly is tying the knot on Tuesday (at St Nick’s) then walking East along river afterwards with guests. Approx 4pm. Tide is 7.0m on Chiswick Mall. Sounds high. Do we need wellies?

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

@drewsnx Ack. Thought it would be an amusing novelty for the guests, now, I just think it’s gonna be annoying because we won’t be able to get to the pub!

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

@drewsnx @eddedmondson @hollynessling I don’t think passers-by went up to the injured person and asked if she was confused by the new layout, no. I think it would have been quite obvious from my tweet it was conjecture. I’m sure there will be more info posted later

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

@RuthMayorcas Wrong? Has this been confirmed? Or are you surmising as well?

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

Pedestrian hit by lorry, Chiswick High Road. Those standing by are saying she was confused about the new pedestrian crossing installed as part of CS9 / C9 / whatever it’s called. Air ambulance arrived at Homefield Rec

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

I stand corrected… > RT @HounslowCycling: @chiswickish There is a bicycle under the lorry. Maybe wait until facts are confirmed before spreading unsubstantiated rumours.

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

@HounslowCycling Always really appreciate the moral direction you provide, and the kind and gracious corrections! Honestly, don’t know where I’d be without your advice!

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

@virginmedia Hello. Please can I DM you about something?

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

@sharivahl Worst thing is eg Barclays app allows you to make all kinds of security settings to prevent your card being misused: spending limits, preventing online use, etc. All pointless if someone in possession of just two stolen items (PIN / card) can install the app themselves

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

@sharivahl Excellent sleuthing this week and last. Good clear advice re iPhone settings. Really banks should NOT be using SMS and card expiry date / CVV as only means of allowing installing a banking app to be installed. If someone gains access to SIM and bank card, that’s it.

Mmm > RT @chief_coffee: Classic Chief combo = Our signature spinach and mushroom roll paired with a latte. Hits the spot every time 🔥 #westlondon #chiswick #turnhamgreen

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

Yep, sums it up > RT @gengarcoh: Chiswick and Shepherds Bush

[Rebekah Phillips @R3bekahPhillips]

Anyone Chiswick based looking to get involved in #repair? There are a lovely bunch of folks starting a repair cafe and are looking for more collaborators. Go along tomorrow to find out more and get involved.

Sorry to hear about this :( RT @hounslowherald: #Chiswick schoolwear shop Billings & Edmonds has been destroyed in a serious fire https://t.co/sqfvNGvDjU

[Chiswick Chap @chiswickish]

@A4Residents @HounslowHways Was like that for quite a few days. Glad it’s sorted. #rubbishtweet
