Oh hold on - the prosecution (?) barrister in #EastEnders is now so close to the witness she is cross examining that they could dance.
Wait …the defence barrister has now walked out of counsel’s row and up to the witness to ask her Qs.
Suppose am happy wigs on correctly….

@CrocodileCat2 @MAMBarLife Not in the courts of England and Wales.

@MAMBarLife I'm afraid it does happen - and all too often.
English

The reason am pointing out what isn’t right in the trial scene on #EastEnders is because it’s important that potential witnesses in Crown Court trials do not worry we get up in their faces like that ever.
We don’t.

@Cathaclysmal The house opposite with the red windows is the one I want, so can overlook the cathedral everyday!

@BulwarkOnline I sometimes wonder if we don’t always recognise when he is just teasing us all for a laugh.

@history99917180 Although in fairness the song does say “Don’t wanna live all by myself anymore”.

True story.
Went to a wedding years ago and the first song was ‘All by myself’.

@mancunianmedic I see you have discovered the reason bit my mother’s tip was always- Use 4 eggs for 20cms or however many you wish for smaller or larger. Weigh them. use the same quantity for rhe other ingredients apart from the baking powder which can remain at one tsp.
Egg sizes vary a lot.

@GriftReport I think she means to be funny but it never comes off and ends up sounding unpleasant. She can’t read a room very well. I have often thought she is very unpleasant and snide to Charlie. She likes to be the cleverest person in the room. Sometimes perhaps she is but her tone is poor

@FeldyJan @HannahIamthest1 You can be in an A and E cubicle before being admitted as an inpatient.

@HannahIamthest1 BBC article says he had been rushed to hospital with a chest infection, had a room (went back & laid on his bed after it was over) - so not an outpatient.
English

Patient attends A&E with a chest infection… standard stuff.
Decides to pop outside for a vape and a bit of fresh air because, let’s be honest, the waiting room atmosphere could finish anyone off quicker than the illness.
Next minute… casually clocks a bloke acting a bit off outside the maternity ward.
Not aggressive, not shouting… just that “something’s not right here” vibe every frontline worker knows all too well.
So what does he do?
Doesn’t walk away.
Doesn’t ignore it.
Goes over for a chat.
Two hours later…
🧠 Talked down a “lone wolf” terrorist
🎒 Convinced him to open the bag (yeah… that bag)
💣 Found himself staring at a pressure cooker bomb
📏 Asked about blast radius like he’s doing a dynamic risk assessment
🚪 Moved the whole situation away from the hospital entrance
🤝 Built enough trust to keep the bloke calm
🤗 Given him a hug when asked
📞 Got him to agree to call police before he “changed his mind”
All while his own phone’s dead and there’s not a single staff member in sight to wave over.
Genuinely the most British de-escalation imaginable:
“Alright mate… talk to me… what’s going on?”
No PPE.
No backup.
No radio.
Just vibes, empathy, and absolute nerves of steel.
Meanwhile inside:
Crews stacked 8 deep
Handover delays hitting biblical levels
Someone asking “can you clear please” every 30 seconds
And this guy is outside single-handedly preventing a mass casualty incident like it’s just another shift problem.
Police turn up, job gets wrapped up, and he just wanders back in like:
“Yeah I’m back… still got that chest infection by the way.”
Probably still had to wait for discharge as well.
Massive respect though.
That’s not luck, that’s character. Calm under pressure, compassion when it mattered most.
George Medal couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person.
Proof that sometimes the difference between a normal day and a major incident…
…is just one person deciding to step forward instead of walking away 🚑

@dionnewarwick That would be fantastic! Two of my favourite singers.

@THERussellGrant It’s the same problem with Welsh cakes. There is no place for a chocolate chip Welsh cake or all the other flavours that now get in the way of the traditional recipe. Even te traditional ones aren’t up to muster. Not enough mixed spice and often dry because not made with butter.
