It looks like it’s got some crazy depth of field filter on from the smart phone age. Nice.

Temporary closure can be extended easily and no provision for pedestrians. No bias here Staffordshire County Council.

To find the path closed with no alternative route. A temporary restriction to give a business 6 months to build a access route that in the 3 months it’s been closed so far they managed to drop a pile of hardcore on the path.

Classic prioritisation of money and car experience this morning. Son playing for his local rugby club in Burton. I go for a run whilst he warms up. Pick a National Forest Way route. Cross a very busy dual carriage way with no pedestrian signage or safety features.

Sad to have watched the last Tour de France on @itvx.com - the show and presenters have been with me since my youth and days in Ch4. All change

Last orders: Pubs in Britain will close at rate of one a day in 2025, trade body warns The British Beer and Pub Association calls for help to cut pub costs with 378 pubs in England, Scotland and Wales likely to call time this year

Not sure how the British Beer & Pub Association can blame business taxes, our local pub has been run into the ground by the β€œbrewery” Greene King, along with many other local pubs.

A multinational sector success or a bleed it dry asset management scenario?

The US Trade deal remind me of the time Trump banned TikTok and brought it back, to much acclaim.

What other avenues will see this same tactic used.

I’m trying not to talk about that person that is currently β€œleading the free world”, but what week are we in and how many are there left to go in this presidential term?

Losing My Head (Superpitcher Dub), by Hot Chip track by Hot Chip

Listening to John GΓ³mez on NTS, which is always a joy. Just played this Hot Chip track, Losing My Head - Superpitcher Dub mix, which made my Monday several degrees better hotchip.bandcamp.com/track/losing...

Yes, it will be interesting to see this in action. I’m curious to see how deep the devolution might aim to go, especially around services
