If you’re going to the #NW200 @northwest200 and you haven’t got grandstand tickets (and want them) drop me a DM! RT’s always appreciated 🙏
I have 12 ‘spare’ weekend seats in the York corner stand (sold out) that I sadly can no longer use😩😭
Face value £60 but I’ll take £30 per ticket👍

@RyanJS46 @marksandspencer Wouldn’t worry, bought a suit and wore it to a charity ball, thought I was the bees knees, got home and found the security tag on the arm of the jacket - women never took it off 🤦🏻♂️

Lesson learned, bought a suit for my grandads funeral that’s tomorrow and didn’t check the sleeve when buying it from @marksandspencer going to look a right nob

@AutoInfatuation I think LR Peterborough closed at the end of March?

Yet another dealership Group 1 Automotive have failed, Land Rover King’s Lynn has now completed closed as of 30th April 2026. They’d struggled for a while but Group 1’s take over was the final nail in the coffin. They lost the ability to sell brand new JLR products and now are completely closed with god knows how many job losses 😞
Our closest Land Rover is technically Marshall’s of Peterborough (Around 24mi) but there are rumours that will also close this year. That then leaves Duckworth Land Rover of Spalding which is around 30mi away but admittedly every time I’ve dealt with them they’ve been great 👍
Group 1 also took over Mercedes-Benz of King’s Lynn. A dealership I used several times a year at one point as I had 3 MB’s in the household, when they were taken over their customer service became unbearably bad and I moved everything to Listers of Boston - again a few bit further but the Listers group have never let me down regardless of which brand I take to them.

In 1999 Gordon Brown did something that would cost Britain £39 billion.
He sold our gold.
Not quietly. He announced it publicly first. Causing gold to immediately drop before a single sale.
Then sold 395 tonnes at the absolute bottom of a 20 year bear market.
He raised £2.16 billion. Today that gold would be worth £40 billion.
A £37 billion loss. From gold we already owned. That nobody needed to sell.
Gold has averaged 8% annual growth every single year since he sold it.
Every. Single. Year.
It became known as Brown's Bottom.
The literal market bottom.
Named after the Chancellor who sold there.
Meanwhile Rachel Reeves is raising taxes to fill a £22 billion hole.
Brown's gold would have filled that hole entirely and still left £17 billion spare for a tax cut.
The most expensive financial decision in British history?
