@LondonPubMap It used to have the most disgusting Gents lav in London.

@The_East_End (James Bolam as a Woodwork teacher in 'The Beiderbecke Affair'): "Due to educational cutbacks, we shall only be making one book-end this term..."

It was that - or a pipe rack…! #eastend #history #humour

@elie_foube16925 @RodneyMarshall1 ... but he did tongue-in-cheek very well. "S.O.B."? Even "Hustle"...?

@RodneyMarshall1 I don't think he ever lowered himself to doing comedy.

Publicity shot of Robert Vaughn as The Man from U.N.C.L.E. prepares to move into colour for its second season, although most US households were still watching in black-and-white. Personally, I prefer the first season, with its more subtle balance between drama & lighter touches.

@RodneyMarshall1 I can't get over just how enjoyably watchable it is. And Robert Vaughn is perfect...

@MorrisBrightMBE Give them a bit of latitude...

I'm in a meeting. Someone just used the word 'longitudinal'. It's that kind of meeting

@LondonPubMap A real favourite, very friendly. There with a pal a few years ago and we were singled out to test pizza recipes. We agreed on one... and that's what the Chandos supplies to this day. Good beer, too.

The Chandos 📍56 Brockley Rise, London SE23 1LN This pub was built 1896 and was a former Charrington’s house. I was massively impressed by The Chandos, what a cracking boozer. There is lots of pub heritage, a welcoming local pub feel, a good beer selection. #pub

@TerribleMaps 'Berlin: on the Rhine'. 'Sydney: the capital of Australia'. All on BBC World. So what will the world think?

First week in the BBC graphics department and already thriving

@DavidLloydRADIO They've become regional stations with a local weekday morning opt-out. And the 'regional' content is very often content which doesn't particularly relate to that region.

New research indicates a third of BBC local radio weekly listeners aged 45+ believe ‘the BBC has ruined its local radio stations’. Almost half of weekly listeners aged 45+ (47%) say they are not as distinctive as they were. davidlloydradio.com/post/research-…

@KemplLkemp @Clinnick1 @LumoTravel Ah! Apologies...

@torqueback @Clinnick1 @LumoTravel This is for the new LUMO service from Stirling Larbert Cumbernauld to London Euston via WCML

The planned new livery for the @LumoTravel Class 222 fleet. The open access operator has also revealed artwork of the planned interiors for the units.

@TheCinesthetic Gorgeous, as are almost all of them but (and I write as a designer who worked with Maurice Binder) we always described "credits" as being at the end of the film: "titles" go at the front. You don't credit someone for something you haven't experienced yet.

The Skyfall opening credits go harder than most entire Bond movies.

@KemplLkemp @Clinnick1 @LumoTravel Pendolinos on the ECML?

@Clinnick1 @LumoTravel I thought Super Voyager’s class 221 would have been a better choice with tilt enabled they could have mixed it with the Pendolinos on the ECML

@Captain_Deltic @clark_aviation Worse, there's an uncomfortable trend currently of GB rail companies naming their fleets with hybrid pseudo-Italian or Japanese names rather than anything recognisably English. Trains that ends with a vowel should be forbidden.

@clark_aviation We don't seem to have names any more, just numbers.

Anyone choosing a name for a new aircraft design has a large variety of words to choose from. The team at Percival chose 'Merganser' for this early post-war executive transport. For those who don't know, a Merganser is a type of duck, pretty much like the number of these sold!

@PulpLibrarian My favourite ever series of spy books.

Game, Set and Match (1988). Granada TV's miniseries of the Len Deighton spy trilogy. Ian Holm plays Bernard Samson, the British spy looking for the mole in the East German network. 13 episodes, a huge budget and critical acclaim but it wasn't a ratings winner. Maybe it was the timing, the Cold War held less interest for a 1988 audience. Or maybe the sheer length of the series made it hard for viewers to keep up. I don't think it's been released on DVD or even video, but it's certainly a testament to Granada TV's ambitions for serious television drama.

@tvark The Valiant Years was a tremendous series. It could stand a re-run.

11 February 1961 - 27 part documentary series The Valiant Years debuts on BBC tv. 1981 - 6 part kids drama Break in the Sun debuts on BBC 1. Nicola Cowper and Brian Hall star. 1996 - Drama series Ballykissangel debuts on BBC 1. Stephen Tompkinson and Dervla Kirwan star.

The Ten Bells 📍84 Commercial St, London E1 6LY Still trading. #ThrowbackThursday #pub

@colinb13 @BestOfUKComedy Hmm!

@BestOfUKComedy The North begins at Scotch Corner. Manchester? It’s a suburb of Birmingham really. And while we’re here, the Midlands begin at Newbury. Thank you.

What do you class as ‘the north’ of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@LondonPubMap Sorry, my mistake. I was confusing it with the 'Hat & Feathers' on the corner of Clerkenwell Road.

@torqueback It wasn’t open Mate, been shut for 6 years.

The Hoop & Grapes 📍80 Farringdon St, London EC4A 4BL After six years of closure, this historic City boozer has reopened. It’s absolutely mobbed in here — I’ll return at a quieter time to have a proper gander. #hoopandgrapes #cityoflondon #londonpub

@LondonPubMap Excellent - precisely the area I'm doing a crawl in next week!

On today’s crawl, I’m over in Canonbury early doors, then off to Stoke Newington and Hackney, before heading to meet up with family over from Ireland for a few pints at my favourite pub in London. Have a great Saturday, and support a pub if you can. 🍻 #londonpub #pubcrawl

@kerriegosneyTV Where's Ross?

@TeesAirport Heathrow! Regularly! And it was REALLY USEFUL!!!

Tees-side?? 🤔😅 Take a look at this retro picture of TEESSIDE Airport from 1970 💙✈️ If you've flew from Teesside between 1970 and now, drop us a comment and tell us where you went! 🗣️💬
