while waiting for the museum to open you can always visit the manhole cover commemorating the vanquishing of the Whitechapel fatberg

Unlikely I know .... but if you are a primary school teacher who has lost a plastic bag containing around 30 nearly completed term workbooks, they are behind the counter at Co-Op in St Paul's and your carelessness is giving me anxiety by proxy.

What is overlooked in the BBC Radio 4 cuts is a simple fact: 94% of people use BBC content but only 80% of people are paying for it. Until that funding gap is closed through Government charter negotiation, cuts like these are inevitable.

People get so cross about fare dodgers and other things they perceive as people getting something for nothing yet the BBC is in its knees and used by so many and 14% of people who use it aren't paying for it. That needs to be sorted out and something the govt addresses during charter renewal.

Martin Lewis at RTS Awards 2024: "Consumer journalism may feel like a poor relation to politics, to public policy and war reporting, but it absolutely directly impacts the lives of our viewers. We should invest more in it. I would love some bloody competition." Anyway today BBC axes MoneyBox Live.

I can only go to sleep by listening to the world tonight. What am I going to do?

Against all the misinformation about London, it's lovely to see some recognition for the good things about the city.

Finally got the chance to see this when I was up in Glasgow this week. It's a great bit of film-making, not only telling the story of the day but capturing something of what it is to be a Glaswegian too. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

Amazing poem. Deeply moving.

Just put out dried mealworms for the birds and tried one on a whim. Little fuckers are delicious and we should all be eating insects.

Unfortunately the election hasn't stopped Tower Hamlets wanting to rip out the LTNs and we are going back to court. It's the big one this time too - the Supreme Court. Can you help us raise the funds we need to keep fighting?

This is super geeky but also amazing. I didn't get beyond the editorial clue but what a masterpiece.

Love this!

Green candidate in Lambeth apologises for sharing some (pretty nasty and bonkers) antisemitic posts. She is contesting a ward where Greens already hold two of the three seats: uk.news.yahoo.com/lambeth-gree.... #london

Keepers had raised concerns that Arlo seemed particularly lethargic, even by sloth standards. "Looking at a sloth and trying to determine if they are lethargic or not cannot be the easiest," said Simpson-Brown.

Very happy that the #snooker has begun. I can kiss goodbye to my productivity for the next couple of weeks though.
