@fast_sin Yes! I saw them in concert at the RFH. Loved their song Who Do You Think You Are.

I’ve been thinking about post-colonial voices, after seeing the 1985 film “Handsworth Songs”& “When Words Fall Silent” @Tate. London is so diverse now compared to when I grew up in. We can eat any cuisine, speak any language, and discuss if Paddington is right! Yes, @AmbJapanUK?

@CotswoldLadyB @thewhitecompany When I moved from a recent diplomatic posting, half my porcelain and china was put into boxes upsized down or with no packing.

[Nadia Hashmi @NHashmiDeputyPR]

@CotswoldLadyB @thewhitecompany Every box I opened seem to get progressively worse. Obvious lots of breakages. I can only say, at least yours wasn’t already part of a set and replaceable. Mine were not 😥

@May_Roma And Scotland, Jordan, Portugal. Japan is setting its amazing example to the World Cup! 👏

@Enezator My dad was ill and I had to change planes in Germany to get to London. I’m always so grateful the UK was in the EU at the time- I ran through the airport briefly showing my red passport and therefore made my connection. Sadly not possible today.

@London_W4 And yawn without putting your hand in front of your mouth whilst wearing them 😉

@eurofootcom So nice! Not sure all countries would do this!

One of the most impressive flypasts I have seen! London 1pm. I was walking along and spotted them!

@PadraigBelton @airfrance Watch the tennis which is also carrying on late at Roland Garros!

@justin_ng The Green mugs are great. I am not far from no10, if easier to meet/ give you money in person.

[Nadia Hashmi @NHashmiDeputyPR]

@ValaAfshar This is usual in Japan

[Nadia Hashmi @NHashmiDeputyPR]

@justin_ng Aww. He must realise you’re a friend to pose for by now!

[Nadia Hashmi @NHashmiDeputyPR]

@omid9 @Ziya_Meral Who made the joke?

[Nadia Hashmi @NHashmiDeputyPR]

@PadraigBelton It’s very good! I’d recommend the pumpkin samsa and the rice!

@Brink_Thinker They teach them to be the politest people in the world - even when others are no longer showing any manners. What a country. ❤️

@adampileUK @FCDOGovUK The news channels keep saying the mouse was in KCS. I’m not surprised- time for us to get a new cat too!

I was recently in Japan. I love that the Japanese are as respectful here as at home. I want to tell them,at my London bank branch yesterday, people had discarded banana skins, sandwich boxes and bottles across the waiting area sofas. The bank staff didn’t clear it away…

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Japanese football fans have been praised online after staying behind to clean up Wembley Stadium following their team’s 1–0 victory over England.

After the historic win, Japanese supporters remained in the stands to tidy the stadium before leaving.

@MichaelLCrick Because UK kids aren’t all taught this from nursery school, that collective responsibility of cleaning and tidying for the community.
