This is it, M was needed for an unpalatable job, brown-nosing Trump, and he's excelled in sucking-up to the kleptocracy. Next choice, the equally oleagenous Cameron.

He wasn't known as 'The Prince of Darkness' for nothing.

Looks fantastic, if you're thinking about this walk it's well worth reading Janice Turner's PhD on Rosemary Lane ( University of Herts).

The First Lego League is a competition that schools from all over the place compete in. As part of the competition they need to consult with an expert. A lot of clubs use our program to make that connection.

This year's theme is archaeology. It's all-hands-on-deck for archaeologists.

Skype a Scientist @skypeascientist.bsky.social · Aug 13

This is an official Skype a Scientist HQ Mayday Alert to all Archaeologists.

We've already gotten more requests for archaeologists than we have archaeologists. We have 38. We need a lot more than 38!

Lloyd Baker estate - I walked that way for many years on my way home via king's Cross.

Yes, tea room is set up for 7 year olds (perfect for my small companion), its closure necessitated an emergency pit stop at Barnham station buffet.

My favourite museum, got the train there 10 days ago only to discover they're closed on Tuesdays. Weird fact: a scene from a Bond movie was filmed there! ( Also pottery shop).

I gave a talk in East Hoathly a couple of years ago. If you wanted to write a short biographical piece about your 18thC family - I'm happy to post. What was her family name? (If you don't mind)

Railway historians/enthusiasts - can anyone suggest how/where I can find photos of obscure railways and trains? I would like photos of the L&SWR Basingstoke-Alton branch - ideally of Herriard station, and the railmotors that ran on the line.

Louise Falcini @louisefalcini.bsky.social · Aug 1

With a local connection too!

There is a historic difference between rugby union (more middle class) v rugby league (more working class).
