@northumbriana @TheatreRoyalNew Bryan made an excellent selection of music on Private Passions, but boy, did he sound old! (Yes, I know he is 79, but heroes are not supposed to grow old).

In which our hero reveals that the first classical music he heard live was La Boheme at the @TheatreRoyalNew when he was 16 in 1961, where he turned up wearing a white trench coat like Humphrey Bogart bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Howard Kendall was so much associated with Everton it was a surprise for me to discover he played for another team - and in the FA Cup Final too. From "The Top Teams of 1964", a booklet given away with Rover & Wizard.

17 October 2015. Everton legend, Howard Kendall, died (aged 69). He played 229 league games for Everton from 1967 to 1974, and was Everton’s most successful manager, winning 2 Top division League titles, an FA Cup, 3 Charity Shields and the 1985 European Cup Winners’ Cup.

Well said @mikegalsworthy As a journo with 40+ years' experience, I wonder what's going on at our "national broadcaster". If I can't trust it with things I know a bit about, how can I trust it with anything else? See my recent column re BBC & Harrods: bit.ly/4f7SWLD

This is incredibly cringe. @BBCNewsnight & @BBCNews don’t even know what news is anymore. It has now become a public disservice. No wonder people are flocking to alternative media & social media for actual analysis of things that matter in this increasingly precarious world.

@NeilRetail Take a look at my recent interview with the CEO of LK Bennett, who has some interesting observations about rising operating costs in the UK v the difficulty of raising retail prices. bit.ly/3U94iHa

No photos do this place justice. It is astonishing.

The heart-stopping Arts and Crafts mosaic chancel of St George's, Jesmond. Opulently furnished and benefacted, this giant church - built by merchant navy shipbuilder Charles Mitchell - dominates the skyline of northern Newcastle even today. An urban treasure.

FA Cup memories prompted by a Top Teams booklet in Rover & Wizard in 1964. The following year my team Leeds United met Liverpool at Wembley & lost. Let's not mention the 1973 final v Sunderland. Odd to think PNE used to be up there @MemorabiliaMal @Detroit67Book @collectfootball

Midlands memories from 60 years ago, seen in a "Top Teams of 1964" booklet in the Rover & Wizard comic. Surely too early for @GaryLineker but maybe not for @MemorabiliaMal @Detroit67Book @collectfootball I didn't know Arsenal captain Frank McLintock (now 84) was once a Fox!

Blimey, there were a few tasty British players around in 1964, as seen in this Top Teams booklet in Rover & Wizard. I am not sure why Wales didn't feature. Maybe @MemorabiliaMal @Detroit67Book @collectfootball might know...

The clock at Berwick upon Tweed station shows the time - but the wrong time. It's about five minutes fast. Very confusing.
Graham Soult FIPM@soult
Lots of blokes replying "Look at your phone, mate". That's not the point. The Victorians who built Central Station gifted #Newcastle a beautiful building. So why are we incapable of even having the clock tell the right time? It's a civic pride thing as much as a practical one.
