Phil's Train and Retro Life 🐀

@GarethM79 @Occomore_Mark @IcemanCometh94 @BBCNews According to Toby Foster on BBC Radio Sheffield / Leeds / York he is unable to rent a car because he lost his licence (for 6 months?) even though he has it back now. How is she allowed to rent a car?

@Occomore_Mark @IcemanCometh94 @BBCNews She made a post complaining about ££££ insurance, and then later posted saying she was "renting" a car and paying £800 a year. I suspect the insurer didn't have the full story... archive.is/LNAQK

@RishiSunak It's okay, you're worth a few bob now. I'm sure you can afford Sky Sports and probably Sky Cinema if you cut back on the coffees.

Pushed my luck on the slopes this Easter showing off to my daughters. Thankfully there’s no shortage of sport on TV this month!

@Sp00nsTim @TurnipRail @flyinglawyer73 I took mine to a few interviews in 1993 when teachers insisted how valuable these were and "you won't get an interview without it" Each time I presented mine I was greeted with a look of "WTF is this supposed to be?" None of them had any Idea they existed or what was so special.

@TurnipRail @flyinglawyer73 DO NOT THROW IT AWAY!! You will never obtain gainful employment without it, employees will insist on seeing it before you even get an interview! Teachers wouldn’t make shit up like this!

It feels wrong to be getting rid of this, but after nearly 30 years of following me around and serving practically no purpose, we will now part ways. But trust me, my personal statement was amazing.

@jonezpauls @Thinkforamimute @TheGriftReport Just like Phil n Holly getting desperate people to phone in to spin a wheel to pay their bills (and make good entertainment for the millionaires)

@Thinkforamimute @TheGriftReport one wonders what they're thinking when this lot do their dial-in prize give away of a campervan and "life changing sums of money" equivalent to a week's pay to them

Lorraine Kelly is feeling “lost and flat” after brutal ITV cost-cutting has left her struggling with life without her long-term team. Her show has been slashed to just 30-minute episodes and will only air for 30 weeks a year instead of 52. Several close colleagues, including stand-in presenters Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard, have been axed. The 66-year-old is facing the longest time off TV in her entire 40-year career. A source said her old team was like a “second family” and she’s now “pining” for them.

@real_shirelass Hasn't he been saying that for months?

🚨President Trump says he is going to sue the BBC probably next week, and it’s going to be between $1-$5 billion. The BBC is going down the shitter.

@ukboomers According to RealScienceTruth96435 on Twitter, asbestos is actually good for you. They just want to keep it a secret. I know he's telling the truth because I read about it on my uncle's Facebook page.

Tenants in our second buy to let found some asbestos pipes. It was there when we bought the place in 1994 and it never bothered us. We lived with it for years. What's the fuss? We told them to leave it alone but they want a specialist. £3,000 they quoted us. Our handyman Dave said he'd rip it out for £200 cash. Problem solved. Back in our day we just got on with it. 🇬🇧

@PolitlcsUK Hang on. I thought Reform (and Restore) were all in favour of banning foreigners from entering Britain.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage says the Government shouldn't ban Kanye West from coming to the UK "If we start banning people from entering the country because we don't like what they say, I worry where that ends up... it's a dangerous path to go down"

@floboflo He probably thought a "five finger discount" was something else.

A Durham Reform councillor is off to shoplift in Waitrose! Quite remarkable

@Neo__Hq @Cobratate I thought that Emory was also supposed to be a chess champion? He looks like he's confused that they aren't playing snakes and ladders.

Andrew Tate playing chess in the early 2000s:

@ScaryEurope I assume you have a postal vote or is this just another Reform/Restore account based anywhere but the UK?

🚨🇬🇧BREAKING ALERT: NІGЕL FАRАGЕ has just unveiled a massive game-changing bill that could redefine exactly who is eligible to lead Brіtаіn. His rаdіcаl proposal would legally restrict the office of Prіmе Mіnіstеr and all seats in Pаrlіаmеnt only to those born on Brіtіsh soil. It is a ruthless but bold move meant to secure leaders with an unbreakable, lifelong bond to the nation's founding values. Do you think Brіtаіn's highest leadership should be strictly locked to those born in the UK? Is this the ultimate solution to safeguard the homeland, or does it cross the line? Drop your thoughts and join the massive debate right now!

@jessalinecaine Ripley, nr Woking in Singapore?

Everyone I’ve spoken with today in my village of Ripley has shared their disgust at the dramatic increase in fuel prices

@ReformUKBexley @Luis_Cook1 Do they agree with Nigel Farage that their fellow young people on minimum wage are paid too much? And if so what do they think is a fair wage for doing exactly the same work as their colleagues?

Super Strong in Sidcup. The wonderful Luis & Ranw talking to residents: It’s the same story in this once conservative stronghold. The Tories moved so far to the left they are unrecognisable. For the majority it’s a case of once bitten, twice shy. Sidcup wants Reform

@ramonagusta @Conservatives You think the paymasters behind the Tories, Reform, Restore will allow the money saved to go back to the average tax payer? The billionaires and millionaires will naturally get a huge tax cut and everything will be given to foreign investment funds for pennies.

@Conservatives That's good but you also need to split the NHS into two... 1. Basic Emergency Care for all 2. Rest Private/Insurance based This will allow massive tax cuts too.

Soldiers can’t strike. The police can’t strike. Neither should doctors. The next Conservative government will ban these strikes, for good.

@Conservatives And the pensioners and hardly out of school kids will lap it up. Many pensioners have pulled up the ladder and the young activists for the Tories/Reform/Restore don't know any better.

@darrengrimes @waitrose You should take Ben with you in case you need any advice on wine or he needs a bit of shopping if the dole hasn't come through.

Dear @waitrose I need to do my weekly shop, I don’t normally go to your place for this, but I’ve recently heard I can get it all for free. See you later on.

@peanut_astro You want to protect the children by sending them back to live in London during world war 2?

🚨🚨🇬🇧🇬🇧 I REALLY DO NOT CARE HOW MANY TROLLS ARE TRIGGERED. I’M NOT INTERESTED IN RESTORE BRITAIN. GOOD LUCK TO THEM. Just created out of bitter revenge. IMHO. I’M STICKING WITH REFORM U.K.

@r0bertj @TiceRichard Perhaps they could get a job in Thailand?

@TiceRichard I think anything more than 9 casual days a year should get an HR interview where you are asked to reconsider your position. The NHS needs to be run by a proven and successful corporate person. A ‘you’re fired’ type of person.

NHS staff took 28m sick days incl 8m for mental health in 2025: Keen to hear from other businesses whose staff take: Average 19 days sickness pa Including: 5 days mental health issues pa newspaper.mailplus.co.uk/data/7614/read…

@NealeSean @TiceRichard Does she commute from Greece every day?

I’ve taken just two sick days in three years—and those were to look after my son and my pregnant wife. Meanwhile, I’ve got family in the NHS who seem to take months off at a time. My wife’s an ambulance technician, never abuses the system herself, and finds it just as frustrating—she sees firsthand how much it’s being taken advantage of.

@brent_shavnore @immasiddx Because, as we say in Britain "he looks like a right twat".

@FactsStomp @immasiddx why do you care?

Instagram growth gurus are so funny. He can’t use his laptop because he’s holding a drink. He can’t drink because he has a cigar in his mouth. He can’t smoke his cigar because both hands are occupied. 😭

@UKMemes2026 When our local Tesco changed their opening hours to close at midnight the sign read: Open 24 hours Monday to Saturday 6 am to 12pm Sunday 10 am - 4 pm
