Jonathan Last

@TfL Hello, why does your app refer to replacement buses for the District line this morning when there were none at Wimbledon?

@CeliaRichards0n Funnily enough I spotted this on a front page posted by @BNArchive a few days ago...

"If I’d applied to burn down Clandon, when it was in its pristine, beautiful state, would I have got planning permission? I hope not. This is the same.” Such odd stuff. Who has ever applied to a local authority for permission to commit arson? gbnews.com/news/national-…

@SW_Help Your app said the train was on time right up until it was meant to depart when suddenly it wasn’t. The staff at Bournemouth didn’t know what was going on. Why are you unable to own the chaos and just apologise?

@johnnythin Hi Jonathan, live information is available on our website and app. If you are at the station you can also use our station help points or speak to staff to get information. ^ND

@SW_Help will you apologise for the appalling service around Bournemouth? You refund delays but what about the stress caused by service promises not kept, chaotic platform information, trains shown as on time not turning up, stops cancelled, having to change trains mid-journey?

@SW_Help You seem to have missed the point, it’s not the delay I’m complaining about per se, but the stress caused by the lack of reliable information

@johnnythin Hi Jonathan, we are experiencing a lot of disruption due to a shortage of train crew. Apologies for any delays you have experienced today. If you are delayed by more than 15 minutes you can claim delay repay via this link: southwesternrailway.com/contact-and-he… ^ND

Some amazing lithic sites have been revealed by development-led archaeology in recent years but they're not always easy to find or evaluate. Updated guidance & new case studies from @HE_Archaeology & @oatweet are designed to help #FlintFriday #FindsFriday historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/rese…

@Plusnet Thanks very much for the reply - we have now arranged a new appointment on the phone, but I have concerns about the failure of communication (as well as the delay) so would appreciate some guidance on how to submit a complaint.

@johnnythin Afternoon Jonathan I hope you're doing well! I'm sorry to hear about this I can't imagine how frustrating this must have been. Can you drop us a DM with your account username so we can look into this for you? - Matthew (Sheffield) twitter.com/messages/compo…

@Plusnet We had a fibre installation slot booked today for which I waited in - no-one turned up, there was no communication and when we called you had no information on what had happened. We'd be grateful for an explanation and a prompt resolution.

Today Stukeley is the most celebrated of the 18th-century antiquaries but not all his peers agreed. Samuel Pegge wrote that 'The Doctor, I am sensible, has his admirers, but I confess I am not one of that number, as not being fond of wildness and enthusiasm upon any subject.'

On William Stukeley’s birthday here’s his display in the Enlightenment gallery at the BM

And if you need more archaeological nightmares, here's part 2...

Reading some ghostly prehistory from Elliott O'Donnell for #Halloween - part 1...

No trick-or-treating on Hallowe'en 100 years ago, which was associated with Scotland and fortune-telling. The Evening Telegraph had to explain this foreign custom to Londoners while the Westminster Gazette gave housewives tips on Halloween party games.

The Guardian confusing value with price...

"This idea that every habitat is replaceable is a misuse of biodiversity net gain" - and ignores the heritage value of particular habitats theguardian.com/environment/20…

Dystopian archaeology is a somewhat niche genre of fiction (see also: Cold Earth by Sarah Moss) but this fits the bill perfectly bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

A great loss, not just to Neolithic studies but to so many areas of heritage policy and practice where he made pioneering contributions, from the Monuments at Risk Survey to the Archaeological Investigations Project and his recent work on mental health and wellbeing - thanks Tim

@urbanprehisto @NeolithicStud Very sorry indeed to hear this

Terrible news about my long term @NeolithicStud partner, Tim. For the past 25 years he was a huge influence on my career - and a friend.
