Pub 3315, Bag o Nails, Bristol. Sally the cat won't be moved. For anyone. Quality boozer, Trivial Pursuit too old for one woman. But not Maltmeister who gets it. Time for sleep n snacks. Luv u all. Bye.

Do not despair! High quality bitter can still be found. Drinking 5 Points Best in situ!
Peter Rayner’s funeral yesterday, well attended as you’d expect of such a legend. Full and standing in railway parlance. Rest in peace Guv.
Something to start the week off, #beer gravities in 1976. 🍻 (via Ian Simmons - Brewery History Group on Facebook)
@philatrail Note the linkage of a revived scheme to decarbonisation, the least important benefit from electrification. A reminder that the industry jumping on the decarbonisation bandwagon was a massive mistake . Also no drive from Network Rail to finish MML - just lots of talk fests
Pub 3184, Pelican Inn, Gloucester. Back street Wye Valley gem. Cathedral bells n local accents n hairstyles help. I could live here. In the pub, not Gloucester. Deuce drinks juicy. Early finish if my bus manoeuvre works!
2025 And a Large Logo 37 drops onto 1B16 out of Aberdeen, am I dreaming this 😱 No due to a 73/9 shortage the 64 year old veteran BEAST has been drafted in to assist! Off to the Waverly we go 🚜👌😎 #whatastrangelifeitis @C37LG @GrowlerGroup @srpsrailtours @RailwayMagazine

Yes, indeed!
Ah, Halifax!
'Oh, I'm leaving on that midnight train tomorrow And I know just where I'm going' - 'Stuck On You' by Lionel Richie (1983) - 📷 York, England, 1981, taken I believe by Trevor Ermel
💙🦊 Jamie Vardy scores his 200th Leicester goal on his 500th game for the club… the last one. Legend. ✨
George Galloway at Putin’s parade in Moscow with his wife, who is wearing a Palestine scarf, after visiting Iran to collect an award named after a Hamas leader. Yet he was elected as MP for Rochdale a year ago. Britain, this is what the wrong side of history looks like.
