[Made In England @BuyEnglishMade]

When you buy English-made, more of the pound stays here.

It pays English wages.
It supports English suppliers.
It keeps work moving through English businesses.

And behind every supplier are more jobs: drivers, packers, farmers, printers, makers, warehouse staff, office staff.

Spend it on a foreign-owned brand made abroad, and much more of that value leaves.

It’s not charity.

It’s just where the money goes.

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

And now I’m home and watching Minder. My escape to a time when most people in London spoke English, most people in Britain watched the same tv, had the same values and shared a country they called home. Anyway, look where Terry is tonight. Kensal Rise by the canal. I’ve cruised down that canal many times and even posted videos and photos of almost exactly that view. Looks the same on this video from 1982, yet different. A bit like England.

@London_W4 It's quality 👌🏻

My mate’s dad found this travel agents advert from the 1970 World Cup. That would have been the summer of a lifetime.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 1988 McLaren Test

🇧🇷 Ayrton Senna - McLaren MP4/4

In September 1988, Ayrton Senna traveled to the Pembrey Circuit in Carmarthenshire, Wales, to conduct a secret test for the McLaren team.

Driving a modified version of the legendary McLaren MP4/4, Senna unofficially shattered the track record with a lap time of 44.43 seconds

The McLaren team, accompanied by about 60 Honda and McLaren crew members, secretly camped out under awning tents on the redundant runways of the old airfield circuit.

Senna tested a development chassis to prepare for the 1989 season, as the highly successful turbo-engine era was coming to a close and normally-aspirated engines were being introduced.

Blistering the 1.5-mile track at speeds reaching approximately 120 mph, Senna broke the circuit record previously held by his Brazilian compatriot and McLaren test driver, Maurício Gugelmin.

Not sure what Maurício Gugelmin would make of his last name being slaughtered. 😇🤣

Have you heard of the Military Intelligence Museum?

It’s moving to one of Britain’s best-kept secrets: the London Tunnels.

Built to protect us during the Blitz and hidden for nearly 70 years - these mile-long tunnels are about to open to the public!
