@Gallery365photo The guides are thought-provoking, and worth trying for a while I think. I don't get the chance to act on many of the prompts 'on the day', just posting when and what I can.

Could 365ers please let me know your thoughts . Do we stay doing as we have been or would you like the Latin with a translation and guide #Gallery365in2026DailyPrompt #365DailyPrompt

@nw_nicholas Looks as if he's stopped for a photo mid-drunken fight at Cheltenham races.

Unfortunately, Reform Ltd can't spell the name of the Ward where this racist is standing. But that's hardly surprising as it's named after a writer, Robert Tressell, a socialist, who wrote The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists

@cfs_jo @SamaHoole And a lot of people, including kids, were already having milk at home on their breakfasts before and after the snatching, so it doesn't sound all cut-and-dried to me.

@SamaHoole Some of the improvements in health will have been due to the ending of rations. Then, once the milk was snatched, it coincided with the era of sugary cereals, more snacks, more takeaways, more processed food. Milk is good but it’s not the whole picture.

In 1946 the British government introduced free school milk for every child in the country. One third of a pint, every school day, from the age of five to the age of fifteen. The milk was whole. Full-fat. From British dairy herds. It was delivered to the school gate in small glass bottles with foil caps and left on the doorstep in metal crates, where it sat in the sun until morning break if the weather was warm and developed a slightly suspect taste that an entire generation of British adults can still describe with uncomfortable precision. The generation that grew up on school milk was, by every anthropometric measure, the healthiest generation of British children ever recorded. Average height increased. Bone density improved. Dental health, despite the sugar in everything else, improved. Iron deficiency rates among school-age children dropped. The growth charts that the Ministry of Health had been keeping since the war showed a consistent, measurable, year-on-year improvement that tracked precisely onto the introduction of the milk programme. In 1971 Margaret Thatcher, then Education Secretary, cut free school milk for children over seven. The tabloids called her Thatcher the Milk Snatcher. She was vilified. She kept the policy. The next generation of British children, the ones who grew up without the daily third of a pint, were measurably less healthy than the one before. The growth charts show it. The dental records show it. The conscription medicals, while they lasted, showed it. The thing the milk had been providing, the calcium, the vitamin D, the vitamin A, the complete amino acid profile, the conjugated linoleic acid, the fat-soluble nutrients that a growing skeleton requires in order to reach its genetic potential, was no longer arriving at morning break in a glass bottle with a foil cap. It was replaced, eventually, by nothing. Or by a carton of fruit juice. Or by a packet of crisps from the vending machine that appeared in the school corridor in the 1990s. The generation that drank the milk is now in its seventies and eighties. They are, on average, taller, stronger-boned, and longer-lived than the generation that came after them. The milk was not magic. The milk was milk. It was the thing the body needed, delivered at the time the body needed it, at a cost the government considered acceptable until it didn't. The cost of not providing it has been rather higher.

@McindoeSue If you look at the VERY small print on that notice, it says "I wouldn't risk this if I were you", followed by directions to the nearest A&E.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekOForOld I love a launderette and this terrifying spinner reminded me of the crazy days of trying to load soaking wet washing into my Moms spin dryer so it didn’t rattle around the kitchen!

@JHCPAL That's how we all dress in Morpeth.

Top hat & tails together with mayoral splendour in evidence in Morpeth ! Northumberland Gazette , 25 April 1952.

@robertneuk If they updated the river on that map in 1943, they didn't update the housing in North Shields from 1893.

Ar auction, what appears to be a copy of Admiralty Chart No. 1934, "River Tyne Entrance", first published in 1893. Originally surveyed in 1892, this later copy could be the one updated and re-sounded for the Tyne Improvement Commission, 1943. Image: Boldon Auction Galleries

If you see this- let me know.

@TyneSnapper tbf, it doesn't scream 'perfect ideal of paradise' from the outside.

#NewcastleUponTyne The Stone Cellars, St Lawrence Newcastle upon Tyne taken 1885. From the Jack and Geoff Phillips Photographic Collection. From SiteLines: Had a brewery until the 1840s. The pub was located between the old wooden dead-house and the River Police Station. It was used for inquests held on bodies found in the River Tyne. It closed in 1893. It had a parlour which was 'the perfect ideal of the paradise of a shore-going captain of the old school; with its low ceiling, and its long latticed window, like those you see in the state cabins of the old high-pooped East Indiamen'. sitelines.newcastle.gov.uk/SMR/15842

@Gallery365photo It better involve shadows!

Right guys I’m doing an experiment on here. It won’t affect the weekly prompts just carry on as normal. However I’m going to be posting some extra prompts as well as this to monitor something so bear with me ! Just me testing stuff to see if I can improve how this works .

Looking like he's dressed for the Debt Gala
