If you haven’t already

please VOTE.

(This tweet - or X - only applies to the UK which is currently in the grip of Council Elections.)

(I’m not advocating that you vote for any specific party, that’s up to you, but I’m just keen on there being as large a turnout as possible.)

@tankhead666 @NatWestGroup @cityoflondon Aye, remember it well.

How come it’s in your garden now? Were you part of the demolition crew? That sign has seen some comings and goings… I remember Paul Young and the Streetband playing there, and Georgie Fame. And visitors to dinner, Colin Cowdrey, Michael Foot…

Good times

In the 1970s we were able to access the top of the 17-story Northampton Hall of Residence in Bunhill Row and watch the construction of the #NatWest Tower in the City of London.

The sun caught the buildings when I took this photo.

Sadly I don’t think any innovations, changes or trends will have any beneficial impacts on HE…

(But then I’m just an old cynic. Things were so much better in the old days ;-)

@LTHEchat A4 #LTHEchat

Getting over retirement and no longer being part of an academic institution IRL… LTHEchat enabled me to keep in touch with HE issues.

I’ve been weaned off now!

Grandchildren and Art Group now fill in.

So many that to name them all would break my word limit!

But thank you to all that I interacted with over the years that I was active on #LTHEchat… fond memories.

Oh, and the power of Twitter (or whatever) to facilitate such a generous, friendly forum.

@OldLondonW14 The Ram and Teasel - random jazzy pickup band on odd nights, Islington way, North London…

The Empress of Russia - Angel, North London… did a smashing fresh Stilton lunch - sadly now closed.

Mind you, it was the '70s that we were last there!

@OpenUniversity Gave me the confidence to continue to take part in pedagogical discussions and discourse even though I’m in my 70s… and retired.
