@Dru_Marland Grr. Thanks. This is the second bloody one I’ll be replacing on the bath then, probably. I thought the idea was that they lasted decades? #bringbacktuppenyrubberwashers

Wow. Turns out if you actually sit down and read for a few hours, your books get read. Who’d’ve thunk it?
gralefrit The BBC has to appease the government. Appeasement is the only way to stop people comparing the situation to 1930s Germany.

@rbrwr @KinetaHill Er, so does that mean the bus they’re recommending for me won’t actually pick me up?
This confusion of nonsense is one of the reasons people don’t use buses, isn’t it?

Bristol bus users! I’m trying to plan a journey, and the First website is telling me I need to take the “Number Port towards Shirehampton”. Can someone translate that into English for me (and why does it say “towards Shirehampton” when I’m going in the opposite direction!?) Ta! pic.twitter.com/TS2OIzyI9L

🌟2pm
Bookings:
stradlingcollection.org/walk-11-march
Entry to all our exhibitions remains free: events such as this help us raise much-needed funds to keep Ken’s vision alive and to assure the future of his delightful collection😊
@Kavey Yes! Dim sum or somewhere not too pricey; my Cambridge trip was expensive, vintage bargains notwithstanding ;)
@Kavey (My determination to stop anywhere *other* than a sodding motorway services continues to pay off!)
@Kavey Stopped in Northampton’s Vintage Retreat on the way back from Cambridge. Not only do they have a lovely art deco tearoom they also provided most of this setup for a very good price 😀

martr101 look how many trees were lost at #avoncrescent when Metrobus was built. Now the council is applying NOT to replace the £40,000 plus of trees that were obligated by the 2014 Metrobus planning consent. Council remains in breach of conditions 22/05943/X pic.twitter.com/07yQQJ6K2c
@martr101 @StephenGibert @Glutenfreescone We applied last year for simple like-for-like permission to *repair* our Grade II* listed house. Not even been assigned to anyone yet. I don’t think they have the resources for the most basic things, let alone enforcement.
Not too bad.

@monisha_rajesh I’m fairly sure this is a galling discovery that many of us have eventually made. I imagine it’s one of those words that will simply gradually change meaning until it means what everyone expected it to mean in the first place!
@tardis_monkey They were all very generous in person. I particularly remember Gareth Thomas holding court in the bar at the Nexus convention back in 2000 and taking in his stride a request from a fan to sign her boob! 😂

Very much enjoying this series of Unforgotten, especially with the adults actually adulting. Much as I miss Nicola Walker it’s still working, I think.
