I can’t believe that tonight will be the last ever edition of the Tour de France highlights on @itvx.com. Another crown jewel of global sport lost to terrestrial TV. Thank you Gary Imlach and team for a wonderful show. Summers will not be the same again

I am reading a Bill Bryson book about a trip to Australia. It made me think. Other than the usual danger of dogging sites, activating a Parks on the Air in Great Britain, we have none of the dangers of an Australian POTA. How do they overcome most things trying to eat or kill them? #hamradio

Recently I spoke at an event in Lille with an eminent French novelist. Asked to define the essence of Britishness, she remembered a survivor of the 7/7 bombings who, when asked on camera how he was feeling, had replied: 'Well, I've had better days.' She thought this was a magnificent response.
