@PhillipStoneman relevant to your impeccable musical taste too.

@UTCstudio Looks more like Paul Calf to me.

A vision of Sgt Pepper era Paul appeared to me as a shadow on a path today. Not sure what it meant, but it was all a bit psychedelic ✌🏻❤️😵‍💫

28 September 2016....did Jim Morrison spend the night in Fenton Town Hall? You can't beat a tall tale.... #MyBackPages

@fslconsult Borges grandmother was from Stoke, hence the story.

@JeansAndSheux Oh that's very powerful. Hope there's a nice big Ralph Lauren logo on that polo shirt.

@GlennAirey @WhiteRabbitBks It's a corker. Got loads of stuff like this.

@GlennAirey @WhiteRabbitBks Do you get your books from Drop City in Hanley Glenn?

@BenMyers1 The Swiss John Lennon.

@MarkGregory21 @fslconsult @oldtrotter @JefferyinE There's a great and quite unique story to tell here. Eg harnessing the creativity native in Stoke for centuries, mix in digital skills to create marketing services for worlds biggest businesses.

@fslconsult @oldtrotter @JefferyinE I did misunderstand. Getting Spode right is a real test but a big opportunity. I do think Stoke should seek to challenge perceptions (prejudices?) of how it is seen and position itself as a city with a modern economy. Different to Staffs M where there is a different play

Sadly we know the answer to that question. As Dave says in the piece a visit to Liverpool (or Manchester) shows that heritage can be repurposed and used to create a distinctive offer. Unfortunately that requires public money and that hasn’t been available.

@fslconsult @MarkGregory21 @oldtrotter @JefferyinE Spode site is on the cusp of something special as a cluster for digital creativity.

@MarkGregory21 @oldtrotter The two things aren't mutually exclusive, as I'm sure you know. @JefferyinE will tell you, I'm sure

@johnharris1969 @JohnDomokos ...it's created around 140 jobs paying well over average for the area and around £20m economic value locally.

@johnharris1969 Great stuff, always a level view. Nice to see the decent part of Hanley! You and @JohnDomokos need to come and see what's happening at the Spode site next time. Huge growth in creative jobs and regen of derelict pot bank. A sustainable version of the levelling up mirage.

Never mind the bollocks, here's #AnywhereButWestminster theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@theagilmore Never knew you were a Wolves fan!

And for those curious souls who asked, here’s ‘We’ve Got Neves’ recorded pre match a long time ago. Made it sound like an ode. #wwfc #wolverhampton #wolvesaywe #rubenneves

@HarrySword For a moment I thought that was Dylan around the time he went electric. But that would be difficult during a power cut.

What a spectacular photograph.

@GlennAirey Have you heard of Which Tyler? Leader of the Pedants Revolt.

@simonloverules Can only be picked up by someone with a mullet and cowboy hat. Like the sword in the stone.

@LichfieldLore It's more the hairpiece in the room that I can't stop looking at.

Apologies for the political post but I can't keep on tweeting about Lichfield without mentioning the elephant in the room

When I moved to Lichfield 20 years ago, despite our political differences, I truly believed Mr Fabricant had the interests of our city at heart. These days I despair when I see the name of the place I live in and love associated with him. We need change

@cpmcgarrigle I think that's the charitable view Chris. Ie the one where we don't assume she's lying about being incompetent because that's the lesser of two evils.

Paula Vennells elevates herself as a person who makes decision on information provided by other, my question is how did she it get it wrong so many times?? She clearly wasn’t qualified for the job and should have stepped down when it was clear she was out of her depth.

@GlennAirey I can't get my head around the logic of this, starting the graph at 1066. Are they saying that's when the good history and culture started? If so are they saying they're pro immigration as long as its a violent invasion by Normans?
