MISSING | We are appealing for help in finding #missing 16-year-old Caitlin Pridding from #Huyton Caitlin was last seen on Saturday morning (16 May) at her home in Huyton. Have you seen her or do you know where she is? DM @MerPolCC or @missingpeople orlo.uk/nITZ6

I will never understand how this constant insulting parody of women is allowed, but parodying any other group is frowned on. Still a man’s world, & getting worse by the day for women’s rights. Shame on any woman clapping this on.

@LoveGrowingVeg It’s lovely!

First of the poppies in my vegetable garden. Thought this made a particularly pretty photo, complete with a bee 😍

I CRIED WHEN I READ THIS A parent’s home will always remain open for their children… even after arguments, distance, disappointment, or years apart. But many parents quietly realize that once their children grow up, they slowly stop having a place in their children’s busy lives. Parents spend their whole life saving money for their children’s future… while many children grow up counting every expense spent on their parents. A mother will stay awake all night if her child is sick… but many parents silently stare at their phones waiting for a simple call that never comes. Parents forgive their children again and again without keeping score. But as they grow older, they often fear becoming a burden to the very people they once carried in their arms. The painful truth is: when we are young, our parents feel permanent. So we delay the visits. The hugs. The conversations. The appreciation. Until one day… the chair they used to sit in stays empty forever. And suddenly, all the busy days that felt “important” no longer matter at all. Love your parents gently while you still can. Call them more. Sit with them longer. Listen to their stories patiently. Because one day, you will realize: no one in this world will ever love you as quietly, deeply, and selflessly as they did. ✨🙌🏾💫

@latte147 Hope you’re feeling better now😀

Morning everyone 👋 Its been a while, has anyone missed me? Not even a little bit. 🫣

@Glinner 🤢

Terrible news! 'Heather' has picked up an infection from lying on the ground in public toilets

@JenKteach It certainly is. My mum used to make it,along with scones,apple crumble and other delicious goodies. The recipes came from an old cookbook. It might have been Bero,but I think it was an earlier one.

@SandN17 The most delicious biscuit in the world!!

Today is #WorldBakingDay Nothing beats the smell of a proper British bake filling the kitchen! I’ve got my trusty Be-Ro book open (the one with the faded cover that’s been in the family for decades) and I’m channelling my amazing baker granny who taught me everything I know. xx You don’t need to be a fancy pastry chef to join in. Just a bag of flour, some butter, sugar, and a bit of British spirit! Baking has deep roots in the UK, by the Middle Ages it had already become a commercial trade with strict regulations on how bread was baked and sold. Fast-forward to 1843 and Birmingham chemist Alfred Bird (1811–1878) invented the world’s first baking powder, giving us all those lovely light sponges and cakes we love today. And during wartime rationing, British home bakers got incredibly creative, inventing “war cakes” using clever substitutions like applesauce instead of eggs and sugar. That’s the spirit of World Baking Day, created to spread the joy of baking to everyone, especially those who don’t bake very often or are just starting out. Here are some genuine British classics that always go down a treat: Victoria Sponge – the queen of cakes, proper jam and buttercream Scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam (Devon or Cornwall debate welcome!) Shortbread – melt-in-the-mouth perfection Lemon Drizzle – zesty, moist, and impossible to resist Rock Cakes or Gingerbread for that old-school touch Whether you’re knocking up a tray of fairy cakes with the kids, attempting a spotted dick, or just whipping up some scones for afternoon tea, today’s the day to get your pinny on and have a go. What are you baking today? Drop your classic below! #BritishBaking #BeRo #GrannyRecipes

What a glorious sight. “On Freedom’s Wings”, now standing majestically near Newark at the gateway between Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Honouring those who served with Bomber Command. They were the best of Britain 🇬🇧

@nomcebo_mkhali You definitely are. Keep up the good work👏

I often wonder how many of you think I am doing the right thing? Please leave a comment if you see this

@IntrovertProbss All true

8 Things Introverts Don’t Like 1. Loud, crowded places 2. Random calls or surprise visits 3. People invading their space 4. Forced small talk 5. Drama and unnecessary conflict 6. Being asked, “Why are you so quiet?” 7. Too much noise and overstimulation 8. Fake people

@oldpicposter Interesting. I don’t think I’ve seen a picture of an intact St Luke’s before.

1930 Liverpool City Centre looking from Manchester Street area across and up towards St Luke's Church.

@Wear_FoxHat @brianmlucey 🤣

@brianmlucey Not sure that's accurate. Airplane seats are bolted to the cabin floor and are extremely difficult to move.

What's the deal with all these Americans with increasingly detailed and ridiculously implausible "I was asked to move my seat " airplane stories.

On the evening of the 16th/17th May 1943: The Dambusters Raid – Operation Chastise was successfully executed 🫡🛩️🇬🇧 Eighty-three years ago, Britain’s finest demonstrated the very best of our island spirit, courage and ingenuity. Wing Commander Guy Gibson led 617 Squadron RAF; just 19 specially modified Avro Lancaster bombers, on one of the most audacious and legendary raids of the Second World War. Armed with the revolutionary “bouncing bombs” invented by British engineer Dr Barnes Wallis, the crews flew at treetop height across occupied Europe to strike the great dams of the Ruhr, the industrial heart of Nazi Germany. After intense low-level training over the Derwent Dam in Derbyshire (where a proud memorial now stands in their honour) and Eyebrook Reservoir in Leicestershire, the squadron successfully breached the Möhne and Eder dams and damaged the Sorpe. The sight of those mighty walls collapsing sent a tidal wave through the valleys and, more importantly, a surge of hope through the British people. Of the 133 brave aircrew who took off from RAF Scampton, 53 men were killed and three became prisoners of war. On the ground in Germany the flooding claimed almost 1,300 lives. The direct damage to German industry was repaired relatively quickly, yet the raid’s true and lasting impact was immense: it delivered a massive morale boost to a war-weary Britain at a pivotal moment, proving that even in our darkest hour we could strike back with brilliance and bravery. This was British ingenuity at its finest; Wallis’s bouncing bomb, Gibson’s fearless leadership, and the unmatched skill and sacrifice of the aircrews of 617 Squadron. The Dambusters became instant national heroes and their story still stirs pride in every British heart today. We will remember them – always. Lest we forget. #DamBusters #WeWillRemember
