@Richard66173180 @RDPHistory O I/c.

@RDPHistory "Papiere bitte" Will my library card do? PS Who's the oik with his hands in his pockets?

April 6th 1982: An order is issued demanding that all Falklands civilians must now carry personal identification cards at all times, and that all ham radio transmissions must cease. All radio equipment is to be handed over to the military forces. The Islanders mostly ignore it...

@lisareality1 The two big, well build guys on his left have ear pieces in - I guess they're busy listening to Capital!!! 😎🏍️

Who are you?

@wars My g/uncle fell on the Somme on 23Oct16. George Cockfield was 20yrs old. 1Bn. Kings Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment), advancing on Spectrum trench, NE of Lesbœufs. KIA BNR, Remembered on Thiepval Memorial.

The equipment of a British soldier at the Battle of the Somme. (1916) During the Battle of the Somme, British soldiers often carried more than 60 pounds of gear as they prepared to go “over the top” and cross the exposed expanse of no man’s land. Their equipment included essentials for both survival and combat: a Lee-Enfield rifle with ammunition, a bayonet for close-quarters fighting, entrenching tools for digging cover, and a steel helmet designed to protect against shrapnel. Soldiers also packed rations, water, mess tins, and personal items such as letters, shaving kits, and basic medical supplies. Many were instructed to walk—not run—across open ground while heavily loaded, all under the threat of machine-gun fire and artillery. On the battle’s first day alone, British forces suffered over 57,000 casualties, marking it as one of the deadliest days in military history. To move more quickly, many soldiers discarded parts of their kit during the advance, leaving behind a scattered trail of equipment that archaeologists continue to uncover on the battlefield today.

Eid Mubarak to all Muslims celebrating in the UK and beyond.

@gautrek Just had the same problem trying to buy a paring knife from Amazon; ended up going to Procook which won't help you as they don't sell chain saws!!! Sorry. 😎🏍️🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I have just tried to purchase a small cheap chainsaw off ebay. A corded one at that so I can't run around the street attacking people. You need to verify your age by using a credit card. I dont own a credit card ( debit card only) so I can't buy it . We'll done the uk Government

Name one album that’s perfect from start to finish. No skips. No filler. Just pure greatness...🎶🎸

@Mofoman360 Yes & Yes.

Do you miss Queen Elizabeth II and do you think she was the best EVER monarch

This is Alex Baker, MP for Aldershot & my MP. She voted to scrap my right to a Jury trial. She is meant to represent her constituents and instead towed the party line. The sooner we get these clowns out of office the better.

@lisareality1 ...also, we now have very busy TB clinics in the local hospital; a disease that had been eradicated in the UK for 50yrs!!!

What new crimes have been introduced via migration that we rarely or never had before…? FGM

@Classicbritcom I take your point but, as you say, it's not my cup of tea. 😎🏍️

Last of the Summer Wine holds a solid place in my top 5 favorite Classic British Television shows. I understand that it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I personally believe it is a work of art with talented actors and a brilliant writer at the helm. What's your opinion?

@Neccccy A leg shot would slow Starmer down but the lion is going to get him anyway so no help is required!!! ....Oh, you mean help Starmer!!!

Would you help him if you had a rifle?

@lippyent Deffo Smash!! I had a '73 1.6L - wish I still had it!!!! Happy days 😎 🏍️🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

1980 FORD CAPRI! Smash ❤️? Or Trash 💀? Hmm 🤔?¿

@AskBritain_ @guywanderer A rock would make a better PM than Starmer.

Would Nigel Farage be a better Prime Minister then Keir Starmer?

@sciencegirl I'm impressed, especially after drinking all that champagne!!! 😂😂😂. 😎🏍️🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Skills of a ballerina

@EssexgoonerMr @guywanderer Normally, yes but since the HMS Dragon debacle has highlighted the lack of ships in the RN I don't think they could!!!! Pity because I'm a real supporter of the UK military esp. the RAF. 😎🏍️🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

YES 🖐🏻 Do you AGREE?

@HannahIamthest1 What a dumb fuck!!!

😂😂😂

@TheBritLad @JdMcC2011 Why is it not a public holiday???

🚨BREAKING: Some UK councils warn: Tone down St George's Day flags to avoid upsetting minorities Officials say overt displays risk "division" in diverse communities and urge "respect" for inclusivity. Will you avoid displaying a flag?
