@Tessadunlop Used to donate but cancer put an abrupt stop to that. A good thing to do for sure. If you can, you should.

Dad’s life was remarkably extended thanks to countless anonymous people who #giveblood 🙏.
It is amazing in Britain how we don’t incentivize people with material rewards to give blood - but we do need more donors especially young people. I took my daughter for the 1st time ❤️

@bomber_ant @lady_valor_07 Nah there’s defo one of those on that plate.

@April_1970s And we all know this moron claimed for all that pasta on his expenses and then threw it all in the bin.
English

Someone did it with Bourbon biscuits and custard creams ( rather well I must say) and now they’re all doing it.
Here is pasta. Ffs. 🤦🏻♀️

Billionaire wealth keeps piling up. Everyone else is left with less and less. With this mountain of pasta, I show why we need to tax the Billionaires.

@GAltringham You might as well call Lethal Weapon a Christmas movie also

TWELVE HOURS TO GO
Tomorrow morning (Monday) at 09:00, we'll be closing Batch #2 - The 1941 British Denim Smock.
After that, it's straight into production - we're cutting the fabric for all orders tomorrow afternoon, keeping us on track for January shipping.
So if you've been weighing it up over the past few weeks, now's your moment. Original or Reinvented? Matching green or statement orange?
If you have any questions about sizing or the jacket itself, drop us an email at hello@avreind.com and we'll be happy to help.
Thanks for all your support, we hope you have a great week ahead.
Cheers,
Pete, Jim, Al & James

@Normandy661944 @AndyAitcheson My mum worked in the photography department at the Mercury in the early 60’s. I knew she had worked there but only found out at her funeral that it was photography department. Remember kids, speak to your parents. They may actually have some interesting stuff to talk about. 🤦♂️🙁

@AndyAitcheson @Nicktopley The AFPU’s Sgt Jim Mapham was a Leicester Mercury photographer(before and after the war).

A cursory lunch break glance at the names of the Singapore missing in the Leicester Mercury showed that according to the CWGC, 4 of the 10 men died at the hands of the Japanese:
- William Lockton 15/12/41 Singapore Memorial
- John Sale 20/01/42 Kranji War Cemetery
- Walter Flewitt 01-30/07/43 Singapore memorial
- George Pick 10/07/43 Kanchanaburi War Cemetery

Joking aside, in this week's #NewsoftheWar we do pause for thought. Singapore missing, and more to come. Makes you think - all the stories that start in the pages of a wartime newspaper, but remain unfinished even now. linktr.ee/NewsOfTheWar

@AndyAitcheson Interesting, thanks for the reply. The Leicester always seem to fall under the radar. Relatively small regiment maybe. They even had a first world war VC recipient who was from my village.

@Nicktopley These appear quite often in the Mercury. And most of these chaps were in the Leicester regiment and were from Leicestershire

An incredible day marching with the @TheLondonIC1 in aid of @FinleysTouch, with the @WHW_NorthernIC marching the Dambusters reservoirs as well.
We will have a total soon I expect but thank you to everyone who donated, & RSM @bomber_ant for organising everything.

@SilenceInPolish Same aircraft in feb 2022 at the infamous I.C PieFest. A more impressively beige buffet you will never see.

@agbdrilling That’s awesome. I do love a Bedford QL. If I had somewhere to store one, I’d buy one.

@CreativeBS @April_1970s Iran have a cure for it! We call it the Darwin awards.
