No paywall today! You lucky people can read all about what it takes to have a perfect picnic - 1924 style thetimes.com/comment/regist…

@MattChorley Oh no! But well done Matt, congratulations

Another defection… After eight incredible years at The Times, including four years having the time of my life on Times Radio, I’m slightly stunned to be joining the amazing team at BBC Radio 5Live to launch a brand new daily politics show in the autumn. It’s exactly 20 years since this Somerset boy arrived in London with his three A levels, 100 words per minute shorthand, vast collection of Elton John records and a dream. But I could never have dreamt that one day I’d make it to the actual BBC, and in a huge general election year too.

25 years ago I had my first letter published in The Times, last month was my 135th pithy environmental: some refreshed thoughts on a letter to the Editor robyorke.co.uk/2020/07/dear-s…

Congrats @DAaronovitch

@KennyFarq @TimesArchive Oh for God’s sake. And yes, !!!

Exclamation marks are a feminist issue, apparently. From a piece in the Times by feedback editor Rose Wild aka @timesarchive

@j_amesmarriott Well done James, great news

Really pleased to be shortlisted in the comment journalism category at The British Journalism Awards!

Very kind Richard, thank you

It’s for occasional bits like — from today’s column by Rose Wild ⁦@TimesArchive⁩ — that I continue to buy the Times.

D'you know how many times I've been in a big shiny car? Twice in 60 years. And I'd just like to do it once without a wet hanky in my hand. Ena Sharples is always great but this is a classic

Evocative description of when Edgware was home to a slice of Floridian Americana, when the Green Man was the "Everglades Exchange" It later became the Wacky Warehouse and is now a Harvester From The @TimesArchive 5th May 1984

@Fhamiltontimes Wow congrats Fiona. Delighted to hear it

Delighted to be appointed chief reporter of The Times, truly a dream job. My first piece looks at a Chinese spy who has been using fake LinkedIn profiles to target Brits and steal their secrets, said to be on an industrial scale thetimes.co.uk/article/1ba8f1…

Edgware development 60 years ago. Equitable House later became Premier House and has recently been converted to housing rather than offices. From The Times archive 1961 and 1962

Also, as a former bra-strap and general fashion correspondent, I *love* this by ⁦@TimesArchive⁩ In support of our brave bra-strap correspondent thetimes.co.uk/article/037638…

Philosophy colleague, @davidpapineau rounds off our @IP_SAS Conference on Chat GPT and other creative rivals wondering how we should do deal with AI systems when they become the locus of moral concern

Great to see Maude Davies, manager of the picture library, being recognised via today's @TimesArchive article. Her indexing system is still being used today - lovely to see wooden rows of the card catalog! thetimes.co.uk/article/take-a…
