@holland_tom @James1940 This story was brilliantly told by Wizzo's Rip Roaring History at this year's @ChalkeFestival!

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

My latest obsession has been the wonderful Mark Steel's In Town. Every episode is a perfectly crafted masterpiece of comedy, and the amount of research done by @mrmarksteel is outstanding. Can't wait for the next series!

@James1940 @almurray @WeHaveWaysPod Congrats Jim! Copies available at Chalke?

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@guywalters The Queen's Head's scotch egg game is very strong these days

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@Karl_Reid Athelney?

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@Karl_Reid That looks like Crofton near Savernake on the Berks and Hants

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@Karl_Reid Middle Hill if memory serves me right

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@TfL Aren't the Windrush and Suffragette lines the same? Isn't that going to be more confusing than just calling it all the Overground?

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@Karl_Reid Where the line through the Cotswolds joins the Banbury to Oxford line?

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@Karl_Reid Didcot, on the curve from Oxford going into the station past the TVSC?

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@Karl_Reid Standish?

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@Karl_Reid Wootton Bassett junction?

[Matt Bellinger @Matt_B_147]

@guywalters Hands down it has to be the Queen's Head, best scotch egg in the south wilts area
