  1. @emd It's hard for me to believe people are even talking about getting rid of #Stornoway. Preston Manning was criticised for joking that it should be used as a bingo hall to pay down the debt; his critics were right. We don't need to have an official residence for the Leader of the Opposition, but we do have one, and we should maintain that tradition.

  2. A week late, but here are our #weeknotes for last week which was a break between the project at the Government Digital Service and and a new (to us) project at NHS Digital.

    They include a video of the GFR theme song played live at the Albert Hall!

(Partly processing difficulty, but also basic accent unfamiliarity.) Except then she paused, examined me briefly, and added, "Oh sorry, do you speak English?"

    "Well," I said, trying to urgently think of something sensible-sounding. "Not if I can help it."

    She seemed strangely delighted by that. 🤔

  6. Do you reckon her man is still at the bar in there?

  7. Finally got back into town yesterday, so as promised, a photo. (I know @stvnews got there in the meantime.)

  8. De UK staat vol met memorial bankjes. Het zijn in principe gewone bankjes in de publieke ruimte zoals we die in Nederland ook plenty hebben. Een plek om te zitten, om even te rusten of om tot rust te komen. Het verschil met Nederland echter, is dat de bankjes in de UK vaak een inscriptie hebben, een herinnering aan een dierbare.
