We haven’t been posting about this… but shoplifting is something we’re dealing with every other day.

This is our Brixton store.

We’re a small business trying to build something honest — and this is what we’re up against.

It affects our team, our store, and our ability to keep going.

We just ask for respect.

In the last week it feels as if Spring has finally flluttered into the hills and dales of the Peak District. The lanes are filled with blackbirds, the moors ring with the curlew’s song, the trees are proudly bearing their brand new green on every twig, and there are daffodils in all the verges. These weeks are some of the best of the whole year for me; when Nature feels poised, teetering, on the cusp of spilling over, but with all that promise still to come, still ahead of us.

@BenGrahamUK Horrific waste of money, with no visible desire to provide appropriate plants that would grow to provide the intended purpose and enrich the environment, and in the meantime the money have clearly been funnelled away to boost someone’s bank account 🤷🏻‍♂️ the country is currupt…

£1.5 billion for 21 miles of road.

That’s £70 million per mile for the A14 Cambridge–Huntingdon upgrade.

No tunnels. No megacity constraints. Just standard infrastructure.

This is why nothing gets built in Britain anymore.

Goosebumps. You don’t need music, just let the fans, players and staff sing and it sounds 10x better.

The Welsh national anthem, always an absolute joy to listen too. Makes you even more proud to be from Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳�

A chocolate maker bought 120 acres of Birmingham slums. 🍫

His name was George Cadbury.

He didn’t build a factory. He built a world.

Every house had a garden. By law. Every single one. 🌿

Schools. Parks. Swimming pools. Cricket pitches. Pensions. Education during working hours.

Workers’ committees that ran the factory floor.

Then in 1900 he put the entire estate into a trust. 🏛️

It could never be sold for profit. Never broken up. Never privatised.

Protected forever.

It still exists today. Still run by the trust.

One man proved that if you treat people well, they don’t just survive. They flourish. 🙏

2026 marks 20 years since @AylesburyUtdFC last played at Buckingham Road. It's a real testament to all the hard working people (mostly volunteers) behind the scenes that The Ducks have kept going this long without their own home ground.

@ARoberts2016 @SportingFC First game since Stortford away… massive uplift in confidence and control from sporting despite Leiston being dangerous … strong point on the road 👏🏻

Very much a long shot shot but I’m looking for some help. I’m in desperate need of a collection ride on mower, ideally with a powered sweeper. I look after 5 pitches at the club which 20 teams use. We are based on a flood plain so we often get flooded which leaves behind a lot of debris that needs clearing up. At the moment I am raking the big bits up by hand and then using a little garden sweeper to get as much I can off.

Most of the work I do is voluntary, after work and weekends. The kit i use at the moment, I’ve either made myself or bought personally. So I have a £0 budget. If anyone would be willing to work together for something or point me in the right it direction it would mean to world to me and means I can keep all the teams playing football. I know there are FA grants available but unfortunately we don’t have the amount of years left on our lease required to be eligible.

The last 12 months I have had over 15 Million views of my work across social media and TV. I’d be more than happy to promote and represent any one willing to help me.

Any shares, comments, tags would be very much appreciated!

Thank you!

Once the countryside is gone, it’s gone forever, never to return. We lose our green and pleasant land (and our food security) at our own peril.

Brussels is a vibe 🇧🇪💯

Normalise these kind of ticket prices in non league football
