@Mr_ian_B Had a few early golfs, a 1.8t beetle & a mk5 GTI with factory recaro seats 👍🏻

@Petie42885201 @jonboy72 I've had a 3 GTI (too slow) 4 GTD (good but stodgy handling) 5 GTI (superb) and a 7 R (brilliant car) . I think I might be addicted!

@Mr_ian_B @Petie42885201 The Mk5 chassis was definitely a step up!

@Petie42885201 @jonboy72 Great shape and interior. Terrible handling though.

A few other London spots

@JamieMccon76416 Such a great colour!

@jonboy72 I had a pd130 in this colour, jazz blue for about 10 years still miss it

@Petie42885201 Aged so well

@jonboy72 Mk 4 one of the nicest marks of Golf

@SarahWoods66 Built lots of the show gardens in the past. Was more enjoyable before the public days as you could see everything. It’s too small a site. As others have said, either go when the gates open or an hour or so before closing

Not my usual tweet but I want a little rant. I got gifted 2 tickets to the Chelsea Flower Show so went with a friend yesterday. We paid for an overnight stay in a hotel, train fares and food. I can honestly say it was AWFUL. It was unbelievably busy with huge numbers of people making it impossible to walk - we were just shoved along by the crowd. I couldn’t see any of the show gardens because the fight to see them was 5 people deep. Even if you did get to the front you were being pressured to move on. We gave up after 3 hours and went to the Chelsea Physic Garden along the road which was a much welcome oasis of calm. The organisers of the show should be ashamed of themselves. Visitor numbers need limiting and I feel so sorry for anyone for whom this was a first time long awaited visit #RHSChelsea #RHSChelseaFlowerShow @GWandShows @GWandShows @The_RHS

@willrob186 My favourite mk4 golf colour! Be perfect if it was a 3 door with Recaro seats!

@jonboy72 So nice. I had 2 x MK4 Golfs. Great cars 👌🏻

@HardwickRalph Corner of Harbord Square to be even more precise 👍🏻

@jonboy72 Wood wharf to be more precise.

@nickfshort you have a Cider named after you!

@Kathryn11Baird I like the glitch on Google street view where it makes a house look like it has 2 cat flaps

'Yes, estate agent, I'm looking at you.' Two photos were taken of this 'incidental cat in estate agent's particulars'.

@Kathryn11Baird On 5% commission I think!

@jonboy72 Cat clearly has something to say about being photographed.

Startled 'incidental cat in estate agent's particulars'.

@Thorley_forDad 100% agree. You never know what people have been or are going through

@jonboy72 Definitely ptsd, so sad about his sister too, you never know what other people have had to go through.

@fugitiveink @nickfshort @davidjmcarson1 @April_1970s @MClaudeHawkes such an interesting interview. His father sounds terrifying, but obviously had his own inner demons youtu.be/o4wut3syn7Q?si…

@Thorley_forDad His father must have been such a tortured soul.

@jonboy72 Wow, that's just incredible Jon, very interesting.

@fugitiveink It really is fascinating. Be interesting to hear what you think

@jonboy72 @nickfshort @davidjmcarson1 @April_1970s @MClaudeHawkes That sound fascinating, Jon - thank you for pointing it out! I hope to be able to listen in the next few days.
