Ironic that @NHM_London has a section about the destruction of earth due to our addiction to plastic stuff right next to 1 of 3 gift shops selling plastic gimmicks and plastic wrapped sweets.
A case of do what I say not do what I do. No wonder earth is dying.

hi @northernassist
Your website says £2:50 to park after 0930 but the Ringo App charges £3:70 daily rate.

Hi @northernassist
The PIS screens at Blackrod are showing trains on the wrong platforms. You can’t get to Blackpool from platform 2 unless something goes very wrong. Several passengers missed their train this morning.

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵
Blackrod -@BeeNetwork ‘s forgotten station. No gritting on icy ramps, car park height barriers broken and open, filthy approach road and walkways and a dead rat welcoming you to the station.

Somehow seemed appropriate with Sir Alex Ferguson watching on that Bolton bagged the winner in “ Fergie time”
Never, never, ever give up. Bolton 1 Peterborough 0. Klaidi Lolos. Re action now @BBCRMsport .

A magical bit of news. The proudest day of my life 🐶
I share a lot of uplifting dog news and rescues but this is what it is all really about.
It's a longer watch today but I hope you'll appreciate it 🥰🙏
When men say that women can’t serve on the front lines for operational reasons what they actually mean is that they don’t know how to act professionally around females.
Awful behaviour from men who should never been allowed to even serve, never mind in command.
A truly shocking report that highlights a breakdown of values and standards across the Submarine Service.

Something I’ve never understood..
Insignificant point given the subject but why do people buy flowers and then place the colourful bit against a wall. Mourners are left looking at stalks and cellophane wrapping.
Turn it round and display the flowers!
35 bodies and some human ashes were removed from the site by police earlier this year yorkshirepost.co.uk/business…

This stunning video of the @SpaceX Inspiration4 mission launch was made of multiple telescope tracking shots and composed in a neverending loop.

Hi @northernassist
Why is the 0810 from BLK to MIA short formed again? There’ll be folk left behind at Lostock (again) and arguing at Bolton (again). I feel for the staff. It’s busy when it’s 6 carriages so 3 is cruel.

A railway byelaw, rarely enforced...
1. except with written permission from an operator no person on the railway shall, to the annoyance of any person:
1. sing or
2. use any instrument, article or equipment for the production or reproduction of sound
Img: from 1900.
ALT We see a nineteenth century railway compartment, showing two people on either side. A woman on the left and a man right sit, not reading, with books in their hand. At the back, on the right, a well dressed man holding a newspaper stands holding his other hand to his head. They are all seemingly annoyed by the man at the back, sitting on the left seat, who is playing a trumpet.
