@HeathrowAirport just spent a long time trying to find a water filling station. The queue was long and the water pressure pitiable. Can you get a maintenance person to take a look please? By gate C55

Hey @British_Airways. We booked a family holiday to USA months ago and the flights are reassuringly expensive. How come we have to pay extra to guarantee sitting with our children? Do you aspire to be EasyJet or is it just price gouging?

@heymrsbond Great Expectations. Also the Morse novels by Colin Dexter.

@R_P_one How about ones designed to deliver lowest through-life cost.

@BladeoftheS The King, Prince William, Prince Harry and Tim Laurence have all served ‘on the frontlines’.

My annual photo exped this week, spent in and around the new towns of Beds, Bucks, Herts and Essex. Some marvellous mid century architecture (though generally a bit run down). @C20Society #publicart @lutoncouncil @HemelHempsteadT @StevenageBC @DunstableTC

⁦@LaidByMonty⁩ another store spotted in Letchworth today looking splendid in the sunshine.

⁦@LaidByMonty⁩ the architecture of Burton’s shops is amazingly consistent over time, though I think brick facades are less common than stone. This one in Hertford is now a barbers and charity shop.

@SirBillCash We do, it’s why we’re going to vote anyone else.

I spent the bank holiday weekend in glorious Kent in search of grimness and beauty. The weather was kind. There's a variety of architectural styles to enjoy
