Mrs. R is trying to ripen the last of the tomatoes . Looks like some complicated board game.

It's Roger Moore's birthday... I love this quote. It's like Mr Benn - Hunter. Shoot animals with a camera. Never a gun.

Back in the day even packaging was not throw away. This is an Edwardian biscuit tin originally filled with CWS (coop) Crumpsall biscuits. These days we keep our keys in it.

Back in the day even packaging was not throw away. These are needle tins and crystal set crystal tins.

Non-electronics nerds scroll past now!!! The sound on the telly I have been working on does not have great volume. On investigation, the output valve is an EF80 fed from a crystal diode detector!! No wonder it has rubbish volume! This is a large 17" console tv that was over £100 in 1955.

Reform UK want to take public spending down to 35% of GDP — that’s a £275 billion cut, the equivalent of shutting down the NHS. The Green Party knows the only way to rebuild our communities is by investing in our public services, not running them down and flogging them off to the private sector.

Question of the week: Is the Thames Water bailout plan - which relieves the company from fines for up to fifteen years - lawful? www.whatthelawdoes.com/p/is-the-tha...

Personal view, Gambling is problem for many people, it has been exacerbated by relaxation of the rules, internet gambling, TV advertising etc. Tax it like cigarettes and alcohol. Here is firm that preys on people whining it took on too much debt to fuel to greed www.theguardian.com/business/202...

So a private company whose shareholders have pocketed billions want to polute and damage the enviroment at an ilegal level until I am 71 and my kids are in their 50s. We need to take water back into public ownership and let Thames Water fail.

Farage/Reform and the Trump playbook. Mass sackings of unsympathetic civil servants Promise to reduce workers's rights Inflict spending cuts - hit the poor, old, sick, disabled Now claims teachers are “poisoning our kids” - just as Nazis did to control education. Power grab by dividing society.

I am intregued that no political party has pointed out to Kemi that all lowerimg or removing stamp duty does is cause a surge in drmand and increase house prices making it harder for buyers as they need bigger mortgages and a slowdown before implementation making it harder to sell.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

When I get an old telly going, an important test is to watch all 4 episodes of 'An unearthly child' Test passed.

Happy UK Fungus Day! All of these were photographed by me in the UK. Aren’t they beautiful! #ukfungi #ukfungusday

RIP the glorious Patricia Routledge. To me she will always be Kitty; delivering Victoria Wood's monologues with pin-sharp precision ❤ VW always knew who would do the best job with her words, and was never afraid to give her best lines away, for the good of the comedy.

Off this morning to rescue another 1950s telly destined for landfill. Pictures later.

Eventually, the police withdrew and demanded Mosley turned around. Anti-fascists celebrated the collaboration between Irish Catholics, Jews, Orthodox Jews, dockers, Somali seamen and more inhabitants of the East End. Fascists portrayed the event as their freedom of speech being denied.

89 years ago, on the 4th of October 1936, antifascist counter protesters stopped a British Union of Fascists march through London’s East End. The Metropolitan Police tried to clear the way for the fascists resulting in violent clashes known as the Battle of Cable Street. #otd #history 🗃️
