@TestMatchDan @willis_macp Yes I’ve just made the same point before reading your tweet. Agree 💯- a lot of TMS people were justifiably angry by it

[William Ham 〓〓 @willham81]

@JohnSunCricket @willis_macp I agree. It’s what “Test Match Sofa” did around 15 years ago and from memory a lot of the TMS folk were pretty irritated by that at the time

@SelsdonChapman They had a Ted Heath one in there when I went back in April so clearly that must have pride of place on someone’s mantelpiece (not mine I hasten to add…)

@PazzaDons2012 @TUnlimitedd He’s still very much around back in England as he is the Club Chairman of the MCC at Lord’s but he hasn’t had any mainstream commentary gigs over here since 2005 (he’d pop up on free to air highlights for Channel 5 but they don’t have the rights anymore)

@tnewtondunn I can’t imagine Philip Hammond doing this…

@davescott48 @British_Airways Stray cats all over check-in; inadequate signage so passenger flow was ridiculously poor in what was already a badly laid out airport; disgusting toilets with barely a single cubicle with a seat and a door lock that worked. The new airport cannot open soon enough

@Hardley76 @WingingItCrypto @MikeDKirby @champtgram And the people who have the misfortune of working there, can you imagine going to that hellhole on a daily basis??

[William Ham 〓〓 @willham81]

@MikeDKirby @champtgram We flew out of it on Sunday and I agree re the toilets absolutely disgusting, none of the cubicles had locks even the disabled one by the B gates. No signage to help with passenger flow, extremely badly laid out. Plus a load of stray cats. The fast food stand took ages

@kclairerogers @paul_winginit What is dreadful is the parents who let their children stand by the belt and push the cases around it as they drop down the chute - often over 20kg. So very dangerous and irresponsible of the parents (we place ours well back from the conveyor belt)

@jimmaxcricket @Myles_Brown05 But at 6’8” tall he makes up for it in height - the rest of his team come up to his shoulders in their huddle!

@andy_wright_ @cshacker_ @CricketIsRobbed I don’t have it any more so cannot remember a mea culpa quite like that but I know he’s often said there was only 2 runs in it so maybe it wasn’t such a bad call at the toss…

[William Ham 〓〓 @willham81]

@WalkerMarcus @Emma_A_Webb There seems to be a big push to study things like the history of medicine at school now - I love history but I cannot think of anything worse than enduring topics like that in place of the exciting stuff

[William Ham 〓〓 @willham81]

@cshacker_ @CricketIsRobbed I'm sure it comes from Ponting's captain's diary for that year

@DavidPBMaddox @EllieHodgesxx Cross party selection in the Houses of Parliament gift shop - (I wasn’t tempted by the Ted Heath one on my mantelpiece…)

@dresserman Placing a FSDU hard against a gondola end so it protrudes into the cross aisle - blocks traffic flow and creates a hazardous corner?

@huwzat I can’t comment on this one as I’m not there, but being at Lords on the 29th August 2010 (as I was) felt pretty miserable

@HistoricSports2 @JohnHas17237386 @PictureSporting The sweater looks like it was, yes but it also looks like he is wearing this cap which I think was the old Waverley District Cricket Club cap (although I’ve struggled to find anything about the emblem)

[William Ham 〓〓 @willham81]

@cjsnowdon He looks like he’s discovered the source of the Nile (and who can blame him?) 👏 👏 👏

@JohnCleese Nor did his predecessor Neville Chamberlain for that matter. Churchill lost the first GE he fought as PM
