Philip Pankhurst

Man of Kent, Herefordian 'from off'. Architectural history, photographer, woodworker, waterways, railways. 'Just lots of wistful nostalgia' says a follower...

@CharlieRamsay8 @chapatoni Good to hear Hugh Johns (he covered the match for ITV), who is often the forgotten man, thanks to Wolstenholme's 'Think it's All Over...'

@dgriffinpix @nickowentv @DerbyshireCCC A truly great career, but as a Man of Kent I preferred to read scorecards with c Knott b Underwood...

@CroneThe86880 @hounds_and_me No, but I can see one of the King's brothers marrying a Phllipino care assisant and keeping her sister as a spare...

#SteepleSaturday Cambridge, 1984 : The cement rendered tower of St Edward's church stands out, as does the white painted Victorian building just behind. That building housed the offices of the Arts Theatre and the two windows at top right lit my office there from 1973 to 1988.

@nickowentv @MartinKnight_ Ashamed that I didn't get Tommy Taylor, but the others were easy to recall. Weekly wage bill for that lot - £ 220 ?

@W17TY @PeteThe794 @KemiBadenoch Our views on wokery and the softie left are probably almost indentical, but Farage dropped a real brick with his 'rage' message; Jenrick on Peston last night made himself look a complete arse. Just a bad week for Reform and all so avoidable. The only winner was Kemi Badenoch...

@peterwoodman67 I went to the Uruquay 0-0 and thought I wouldn't bother, but having bought the tickets I stuck with it. So lucky to have been there all the way to see West Ham win it...

@PeteThe794 @KemiBadenoch My cold rage was for that charlatan Farage, who completely ignored the wishes of the family and deliberately used inflamatory language to incite mob violence. The Soton mob was not the public enraged, it was the usual suspects, some instantly recognisable...

@CroneThe86880 @jrkdenison @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer It's a Free School, directly funded by central Government. Currently rated the best primary in the county by a distance...

@rosieangelab @Jamesjonesik8 @MDymore I see that as well, and I've mislaid my glasses this morning...

@CroneThe86880 @jrkdenison @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer It's independent of the local authority, who fought the re-opening tooth and nail. It restarted with 12. See : https://t.co/MVqfEHyIlH

@CroneThe86880 @jrkdenison @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer Both restarted before vile Phillipson's era, so better placed to weather storms, both smaller versions of the originals. Our three grandchildren given a cracking start to life at Dilwyn St Mary's...

@CroneThe86880 @jrkdenison @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer Both re-started by recently retired headteachers, who found no problems with recruiting escapees from the state system. Thriving in terms of numbers and achievement, and still keeping heads above water.

@CroneThe86880 @jrkdenison @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer Two long closed schools in our area were brought back to life by determined staff and parents and both now thrive - it's not impossible, just unlikely...
