@wturvill @NeilBenson @pressgazette @InPublishing Excellent. I subbed for five years in the Eighties. This is something to cherish.

@ginger_journo Fancy joining me for a 15-mile walk in the Wye Valley from Chepstow, 24 April? 3mph. https://t.co/T2oR1OxQb6

@ginger_journo @OspreyPacks Good to hear. Osprey packs are easily the most popular with members of the LDWA and mine has done good service for 8 years.

Sigh. I remember when it was all beards, beer and bashing sticks, with a sing-song in the bar to finish. Seriously, is traditional English #morris dancing becoming too corporate?

@MichaelLCrick At a literary festival talk, John Humphrys deplored the PM being called "Boris". It undermined journalistic detachment, made it harder to see him as a politician, not a chum; I add, reinforces his misleading appeal to a chunk of the electorate.

According to the Guardian website, the US Senate has passed a hate crime bill that is anti-Asian. Or did I mis-read that?

@nav4adventure If your car wheels start to spin in the mud when you try to drive away again, a bit of rope touching the front of the wheel can give you enough traction to get out. Works in snow too.
