Have you noticed that these days when time travellers grab you by the shoulders and ask what year it is, when you reply "2024" they no longer say "Thank God. I'm not too late"?

Not really a comment on this story, but I think we should try to make it easier and more normalised to downsize in your 60s.
If left too late, moving house can be incredibly disorientating - and you don’t tend to know it’s too late until it is

So, my home town is having a meltdown on social media because a 50 year old brick and concrete bus shelter is being taken down to make way for a modern replacement.
Facebook posts commenced. Several a day on the Community pages.
An online petition was started.
And now... This.

In The Spotlight - Baker Street
The dramatic lighting & architecture at Baker St station naturally encourages commuters to wait in the spotlight. I always think it looks like people are ready to perform on stage.
So I asked dancer Viola to pose under the lights, ready to dance.

I went to that Gary Barlow book signing in Leeds in 2007 or so. I got up to the front and asked him how he was, he said "I'm tired, in Leeds today, but Bristol yesterday, or was it Cork?" I said "NEVER. Forget where you're coming from." #totp

Cannot stand it when actors get chart hits by dint of them being actors when any amount of jobbing musos get nothing. I resented this song then and I resent it now #totp

I laboured under the misapprehension that Billy Ocean was a US act for decades. Only found out he lived in Romford sometime last year #totp
