Happy #LancashireDay to everyone

You can be assured that tendentious memo by Michael Prescott, and the co-ordinated combination of the Telegraph, Mail, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the White House means that the BBC hit job has been long in the planning, and has some insider help

We often speak of you.

In 1987, when I was at the City of York Council I commissioned Charles Kightly to write about the 15 Dukes of York (from 1385 onwards)
Andrew had been made Duke in 1986 & he & the Duchess, were given Honorary Freedom of York.
History is only written with hindsight…..

This is a disgrace they need to fire the person at the BBC who is charge of the News, they are clearly biased.

This week the Treasury sold £5bn of 3yr gilts in an auction, more than 3 times oversubscribed.£ has strengthened against other major currencies. Inflation to peak at 4%, economic growth in H1 of 2025 was fastest in G7, and BoE cut interest rates this month by 0.25%, to 4%.

Recommendations please for an accurate and readable of #Mussolini please?

In all the anti-immigration rhetoric, if you ever hear that immigration places a strain on the NHS, please know that without immigration the NHS would simply not exist. Our 1.5m strong NHS workforce is a brilliantly diverse global family., I am deeply grateful for immigration every day.

Excellent evening at @profaliceroberts.bsky.social in Middlesbrough last night. Thoroughly entertaining and informative presentation based on her new book “Domination “. Two hours that never flagged and confirmed her as a top historian/communicator #RomanEmpire #christianity

Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

Different times - and the Beatles were game changers , Taylor Swift isn’t.

The historic county of #Lancashire (with all due respect to Cumbria and Gtr Manchester, they have annexed parts of the county palatine.

Sorry, but that’s nonsense. Some people are made happy by violent criminal actions, by mistreatment of others, by cruelty to animals, etc.

Disappointed that there isn’t a Family History Show in York this year. Anyone know the reason why? Has always seemed well attended over the last 10 years or more.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

He skis like shit.

I bought this from a charity shop and would love to unite it with someone who had an interest in the family. Only 60 copies printed apparently. #onenamestudies #genealogy #familyhistory #Piper #Steuart

“Just a DJ” ? Hardly, Johnnie Walker was a chronicler of my youth and adulthood, someone who was a voice both reassuring and inspiring, one that presented the soundtrack of sadness, joy, and everything in between. Rip #JohnnieWalker

Be aware if you are getting Lego this Xmas

Chipping means “market”.

Indeed, I was just commenting on the name being a surname too.

I left X to get away from nonsense like this. Ranting and misleading isn’t wanted on here.

As in Mike Trebilcock? Scored twice for Everton in the FA Cup Final that year. Was from the West Country if I remember rightly.

My photo shows the left side profile of a head of a cave lion made of mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago (Aurignacian culture). The ivory would originally have been white in colour but is now a light creamy brown with a surface sheen, and darker patches caused by time spent buried in the ground. Carved details include mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. There is cross hatching behind the ears to indicate the mane. It measures 2.95 cm in length x 2.11 cm height.

Something wonderful for the weekend!

About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, an ancient artist skilfully sculpted this tiny head of a cave lion from mammoth ivory. It is one of the World’s oldest known works of figurative art.

Still feeling chuffed that I got three right on #OnlyConnect last night. 😁 #punchestheair

A very happy Lancashire Day to everyone 🌹

Toughen ‘em up! 😄
