If you have time, this is well worth attending . Great for the kids and the whole family. I remember my grandkids especially enjoying their time at the controls of the JCB excavator.

Having read this now. I have no hope whatsoever that any minister has the incentive to make any meaningful changes that result in service improvement. The system simply does not allow it.

So, I have been reading this excellent, if scary, verdict on our political system. Leads me to ask, can any elected government really do anything to improve people’s lives? If you have time, I recommend you read it. Makes you feel really sorry for the new #MPs. Poor souls.

@GaryLineker @holland_tom @dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory @GoalhangerPods Gary, it should be the best. I have enjoyed almost all their podcasts. But you should really have a word with @holland_tom for his unfair and at times colonialist portrayal of Muslim history - especially the early period. He seems to be dismissive of non-orientalist scholarship.

Congratulations to @holland_tom and @DCSandbrook for winning the hugely prestigious 2023 President’s Medal from the British Academy for @TheRestHistory.
It’s the Academy’s highest honour, and we’re really proud to have the show in the @GoalhangerPods stable. Well played 👏🏻

@AASaif @BhamCityCouncil Good Afternoon, we have reported this for you to our highways team under reference number HGE014615 for them to look into, Kind Regards Lisa.

The Spring Road/Stratford Road junction in #sparkhill #Birmingham needs urgent and serious organising. The current traffic light and yellow box do not work. @BhamCityCouncil
English

@BCC_Help @BhamCityCouncil I meant the actual design and configuration do not serve the nature and volume of traffic, and they end up being ignored during peak times. This leads to congestion and chaos. Location wise, see photo.

English

@AASaif @BhamCityCouncil Good Morning,
Please could you provide the exact location of the traffic lights that are not working, such as Post Code, a property address it is nearest to as well as the nearest road junction/land marks?
We can then raise a report with our Highways Team to resolve this issue.

You can take a person out of the @CanalRiverTrust @CRTWestMidlands, but you can’t take the Trust of that person. In a Moroccan cafe at sunset, in the middle of the busiest souk, with the drums and pipes of the snake charmers just warning up.

#Eid_Mubarak to all celebrating today or tomorrow. May peace and justice reign in the world and may the forces of war and injustice be silenced…forever.
