@RevRichardColes @MichaelRosenYes Donal Swann was a friend of my parents’. As a 10 year old I had to play the piano for him, much to my embarrassment. At my mothers’ funeral we played a scratchy home recording of her singing ‘The Gasman Cometh’ with Donald accompanying her.

@sarajcox 84 year old Mum was disappointed with a new Christmas special of Gavin & Stacey “I thought it was going to be Cagney & Lacey”

Ticket offices at railway stations across the country are under serious threat of closure, including Grange, Oxenholme, Appleby, and Windermere here in Westmorland.

We must keep ticket offices open and stations fully staffed.

@mrdanwalker My sister died when she came off her bike in 1988 - she hadn’t got round to buying a helmet, they were a novelty then. Would have saved her life. Mad not to wear one

@TheBoyWhoBakes I never move mine, and they’re not in a draft, but in my experience they seem to drop masses of leaves randomly from time to time, then grow new ones - don’t despair

@helenpidd @thetrainline @northernassist Call me old fashioned, but I love our local ticket office … a lovely real person and often cheaper, for tickets on any line @setcarrailway

@kayeadams Sister in law has one - my children used to be moved around in it (they’re in their 20s now)

@LBFlyawayhome Wow! Rise&Shine on 70s childhood camping trips

@cherylpelican @thetrainline Obviously not!

@timfarron And today my daughter would have missed a flight to Australia, booked train from penrith to Manchester Airport, but she had to fork out £50 for a taxi fare to the airport as the train cancellations/connections just didn’t work. Trains in the north just can’t be relied on

@Muskmobile1 @timfarron Not true in Appleby

[ApplebyRemoteCinema @ApplebysCinema]

We screened The Phantom of the Open on Saturday, what a great evening! We had a chance to show a powerful short film,The Fell we Climb, from @antiracistcmbra made by young people from our County, which received a round of applause at the end. Next film is ALI & AVA, November 12th

@CaroSanderson My sister died when she was 26, she would have been 61 last week. Both parents now dead. Grief still overwhelms me sometimes, as I’m the last one standing, but I am NOT an only child.
