Today's Poll: Do you support expansion of UK airports? Things being discussed incl a 3rd Heathrow runway, plus extra capacity at Gatwick & Luton. Yet this is a more general poll about any & all airports where there's demand. Some call it a 'growth v environment' issue.

@MartinSLewis 3 runways ? If they stuck to the plans in 1946, they could have had a few more !

@abzpaul @madmillett @abzpaul I guess that is why you didn’t want to chat about lost luggage yesterday 😂😂 I seem to have run out of trainees, they all left 🙄 Get to play on my own for once. 👍

@geocon1713 Personal choice, I like them, don’t have any. If I did, the scars from my operations would have ruined them. Done a well known race where it is the ‘de rigeur’, To have the emblem tattooed if you finish. People ask , “ where’s yours “. Oh well must be a minority.

Tell me your best “small world” story. (Inspired by chatting to a cabbie who went to school with Jo Whiley’s husband.) Maybe you met someone at work, on hols, in A&E, at a gig & you discovered a tenuous, uncanny or dramatic connection? Alllll the deets please!

@chinnychick Time magazine changed from man/women of the year to person in 1999. 2006 being a very notable one, but other recipients being Mr Trump and Mr Putin, I am not sure on the voting premise??

Unpacking my bag……it’s been quite a week of contrasts! Beginning with a room full of incredible woman, then the next day a room full of incredible men! Weirdly….I felt more at home in the latter, chatting about Ballistic theory, 7.62 and spinning helicopter dits! 🚁This really brought it home to me. Why have woman of the year….or man of the year at all? 🤷‍♀️it should be person of the year! 👏In trying to define equality we are, in my opinion, widening the gap! The best way to define equality is to blur the line completely and make it not matter anymore! Be the best at what you do, wearing heels while doing it if that’s ur thing! 👠Anything goes as long as ur passionate and smashing it! 💪👊

@jamesjhistory Definitely how many other aircraft can fly with another unofficially attached to it. The Brocklesby incident in 1940.

@SixNewton Great pictures, 1992, the runway had to be altered and the Threshold moved for Concorde to increase the landing distance in 1994. The road had to be closed ( no tffc lights then ). But,it did a go around as they didn’t close it in time. Great fly by.

@LeanneBrownBBC Keep, map reading is a skill, unexpected roadworks, detours, at least the map book doesn’t need power.

How did we cope before sat nav? When I first started out this was how I got around the patch! Should I keep or recycle them?
