The hot temperature has inspired me to make a rather tasty Rum Maple Old Fashioned Cocktail using a strong Wood’s Old Naval Rum as its base. Hits the spot with a big brown sugar, molasses and toffee taste to it 🍹😋 Have a great weekend. Cheers 🍹🍹 #RumOldFashioned #WoodsRum #cocktail #rum

End of an era :-( The last Metrocar runs today, after 46 years. People complained, but they kept this region trundling through some of the hardest times in our modern history. A proper stalwart of the north east. RIP the front window seat

My mates and I used to use the line “Oh man, look at those cavemen go” when we saw people fighting on the dance floor or in the streets. I love ‘Life on Mars’. It’s such a beautiful song with brilliant lyrics 🎯👌⚡️ #DavidBowie
