@OctaneJames Wonderful car! Hope petrol prices are resolved by then.

I miss this car so much. There are plans afoot, however, and I am confident 2026 will be the year we get it back on the road where it belongs. That said, I have been equally confident many times previously and had those hopes dashed every time. Fingers-crossed.

@anon_opin Plenty of episodes already on YouTube.

A 24/7 Top of the Pops channel would print huge money for the BBC. £5 a month to watch all episodes broadcast in chronological order, creating a colourful parade of music history, cultural shifts and the UK's favourite nonces. Take my money.

@SimonCarGuy Ah but he didn't roll it like Roger Moore did 😉

Crikey. Not seen this before 👇

@JamesMoir10 Beautiful! Is she about to beckon down the Dove from Above? 😂

Dancer.

@Brooksie17 @Artemisfornow And the Govt creams off more income tax and VAT too...

@Artemisfornow So the cafe needs to raise its prices to cover the costs which totally negates the pay rises people get because they are now spending more on the same product

Labour don’t understand business. 2020 - to employ a 21 year old 40 full time would cost £17,035 2026 - to employ a 21 year old 40 full time would cost £29,600 A 74% increase. Meaning a cafe needs £400k extra turnover just to fund ONE job!

@yntcdty Saw Gary Numan recently at a smallish venue. £45 and one of the best gigs I've ever seen!

concerts have gone from the being the happiest place on earth to the most inaccessible thing. people are missing out on seeing their favourite artists because of how impossible it is to 1. secure a ticket and 2. how expensive they are. the enjoyment is no longer there.

@diamondgeezer I've admired that blue plaque a number of times, after leaving Ronnie Scott's which is directly opposite.

Television is 100 years old today. And it was born here, above an Italian cafe in Soho. diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2026/01/tv100.…

@OctaneJames Magnificent! Brave man to park her there...

Good grief, what a spot!

@OctaneJames Class in an ocean of bland modernity...

Best way to start a Sunday: a catch up with friends over an excellent coffee in Chiswick… and brightening up the street furniture in the process. #wackyracerscoffeeclub #classiccarsoflondon

@TheBrancaShow Boney M guy!

@MUnmutual83689 @YesterdaysBrit1 Agreed - 'The Desperate Hours' I seem to recall.

@YesterdaysBrit1 The episode with Leonard Rossiter as the escaped convict is certainly one of the finest episodes of television of any genre.

Steptoe & Son. In my humble opinion, the finest comedy series to grace British TV. But I'm sure some of you will disagree...

@mariana057 Bank loans, the only thing you need to prove you don't need, in order to qualify for one.

I don't understand why banks get so mad when you can't pay back your loan. You already knew I had no money when I came to borrow it.

@dobraszczyk Ironically, since it was built in 1961, datewise that bridge is closer to Victorian times than it is to today!

Runcorn is a strange town in which Victorian terraces cower beneath dramatic infrastructure

@WaggerMoon @sturgios Thanks for that, it seems to make sense!

@520JON @sturgios Less cor du roi more cor blimey. Probably Victorian music hall patter.

🎶🎶Oh, my old man's a dustman He wears a dustman's hat He wears cor blimey trousers And he lives in a council flat - Oi 🎼🎵

@VinnieSull1van @BygoneBritain @Britains___Pubs The Lygon Arms Hotel, Broadway in the Cotswolds. It's still with us.

Just imagine how special this time of year must have felt in 1960s England. ⏳️🎄

Stop here Jeeves, this will serve us well for the evening.

@Britains___Pubs Old Bell Hotel, Malmesbury in Wiltshire 🛎️

Let us seek shelter..

@AlanJLSmith @MartinSLewis But does that cash attract a guaranteed rate of interest?

@MartinSLewis Martin, it makes no sense as you can hold cash in a S&S ISA anyway. More tinkering about the edges - without solving real problems.

Today's Poll: Do you support the Chancellor's reported plans to cut the tax-free cash ISA allowance from £20,000 to £12,000 (and keep shares ISA at £20,000). The govt's long said if it does this it won't be to raise revenue but to encourage more young people to invest.

@RoadworkUK Good idea to give her a short run every three weeks or so during layup. Saves a whole host of possible problems come the Spring...

Night night. See you in the Spring
