@MartynRooney A golden era for Palace

Never in my life… #cpfc

@Charliegeorgei @luxmy_g @BBCLondonNews Yes it is all about acclimatisation. 34C in August after a couple of months of warm weather is a lot easier than 3 consecutive days in May after 2 weeks of 14C!!

@luxmy_g @BBCLondonNews It’s the transition we are not good at in the UK Goes from one extreme to another, we just need to master that…

As London hits record May temperatures, here's my piece on research into managing heat in urban settings:

@luxmy_g @longtallsally19 They didn't ... except during the 2012 Olympics

@longtallsally19 I don't know if people ever talked much while commuting on the tube!

On the Elizabeth Line to work and - for the first time I can remember - every single passenger around me has headphones in or has their phone on silent. Most blissful commute ever. There’s hope for the future again…

@luxmy_g @c2g2Clive Unfortunately looks like a witches' hat. Are you sure you didn't travel by broomstick 😉

@c2g2Clive It has the Shard sticking out of it as a bonus

@SagarH62 Looks like Allan Lamb, but could be wrong

Less than 1% cricket fans can recognise this batter , If you're one of them. Can you guess the batter's name without the help of Google 👇

@cmr072025 @luxmy_g @BBCLondonNews I was only just pre decimalisation but it will always be the threepenny bit building to me 😉

@luxmy_g @BBCLondonNews Ah Croydonia with the 50p building in the background!

A tad windy out filming in Croydon today for @BBCLondonNews

@Number10cat Er why today when St George's day is Thursday?

There's a free family festival on Trafalgar Square today to celebrate the patron saint of England: St George. All are welcome, except dragons.

#bbcathletics 4X400M Jamaica were correctly lined up in lane 5 in relay exchange. The moment the athlete moved to lane three she was getting DQd. To make it worse the incoming athlete didn't move out at all and then reached across and caused US fall. So TWO reasons for DQ

#bbcathletics During euro 2012, when ireland was paying back a euro loan, a group of irish fans had a flag saying Angela Merkel thinks we are working. Von Der Leyen message a play on that

#bbcfootball Marcus 8.46. I agree. I know a number of Spurs supporters and there has been a lot of banter. I have stopped now, it is no longer funny but very sad

@Elainebks @Number10cat That was on ice, where we have won Skeleton, skating snd Curling golds but we have never won gold on snow before

@Number10cat Yesterday Matt Weston - Skeleton??

Britain has won it's first EVER gold medal on the snow at a Winter Olympics, a century after they began. Perserverance pays off!

#bbcfootball Newcastle were going through a rough patch but a visit to Dr Tottenham did the trick

##bbcfootball Man City lose to Bodo Glimt having lost to the team from Salford. Now they will have to play the other team from Salford in the FA cup. Nervous?

#bbcfootball. Come on Bodo. As a Palace fan, this would have to be a bigger upset than Macclesfield beating us . We can finally move on 😀

@bbcfootball the answer to the Man Utd manager vote is definitely Other. However you need a sub category for exactly which Muppet they choose? Perhaps they will go for a Clough and Taylor approach and choose Statler and Waldorf 🙃 Swap the muppet box for the dugout

@MorrisBrightMBE @ashawolves He might now identify as Wendy Miller...

@ashawolves Windy Miller

Had a bit of a shock. Only just discovered, after 55 years of believing otherwise, that in Trumpton, Barney McGrew is in fact ONE fireman not two ... Barney and McGrew. I've had to sit down.

@BrunoTaltalian @MorrisBrightMBE He was either the Shop Steward or the watch commanders son 😉

@MorrisBrightMBE The Pughs are obviously brothers, but I’ve always wondered why Barney McGrew is the only one of the six to get the courtesy of being addressed by his full name (including his Christian name) in the roll call.

@BellaCatPier @MorrisBrightMBE I always thought the last one was Grout, probably because my dad was tiling the bathroom when I first watched it 😉

@MorrisBrightMBE Here's a breakdown Captain Flack: The commander. Pugh & Pugh: The identical twins. Barney McGrew: The bearded driver, often with his eyes closed. Cuthbert: The operator of the Aerial Platform Vehicle Dibble: Another member of the brigade. Grubb: The final fireman in the row

#BBCFootball Simon 20.25 ABSOLUTELY. On kits. Why do teams change them for no reason

#bbcf1. Lando won it the British way. Showing steel and fight whilst remaining humble and polite.
