@AdrianGregory20 Delays to road openings! You need to come to Glasgow to see how it’s done best with Sauchiehall Street!

I swear to god that if they don’t tell me soon when the Botley road is reopening I’m going to stick a ‘Just stop oil’ placard up near the rail station and watch the rozzers cart them all off.

Ha ha - I live in Botley - Thames Water and Network Rail have beaten them to the punch by a year.

@HistoryToday Great piece. Yes, it was tough then with some voluntary organisations re-opening their night shelters to house the homeless war veterans.

Having survived the rigours of the #FirstWorldWar, soldiers faced the return to civilian life. For some, it presented an even greater challenge. ⌛ 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 buff.ly/3Chl8gY

@petros_spanou @DannyBuckUEA Is that looking up @ Prior Park school in Bath?

@lifeasweknewit2 @GBNEWS Yes, I entirely agree; the treatment could also make you feel very unwell whereas your current symptoms may not be as bad. This is the solution my husband made & I supported him in it.

@GBNEWS If your prognosis is that dire, why would you pursue gruelling debilitating treatment to add maybe a few more weeks or months to your life? It’s better to go out comfortably even if it means forsaking a bit of extra time.
