  1. There is a tiny stub of land (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropol) in England in which the people use a different word for a bread roll than the rest of the country (excepting Coventry, which is a hundred miles away). The UK's dialects can change literally from one street to the next.

  7. Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight. I was there just the other day with my mate, Ian. Great variety of paintings, sculpture, fine art, furniture and antiquities.

    Great cafe.

  10. Over £7.4m has been secured for new bike lanes, footpaths, and active travel infrastructure across the #Liverpool City Region, including #Halton, #Knowsley, #Liverpool, #Sefton, St Helens, and #Wirral. This funding, from the government’s Active #Travel Fund, will improve connections between existing and planned routes, promoting #walking, #cycling, and wheeling as safer alternatives to car use. Additional funds will support projects like #cycle safety training, secure bike parking, and social prescribing schemes for health and wellbeing. The investment is part of a wider plan to create a 600km network of walking and cycling routes, with 148km already delivered. This forms part of Mayor Rotheram’s plan for an integrated, London-style #transport system. Other major investments include over 100 zero-emission #buses, a new Mersey Ferry, and improvements to St Helens town centre and the Liverpool Baltic rail station.

  13. Had an excellent #FolkRidingBikes ride from Chester to Birkenhead yesterday.

    Wet to begin with (though luckily the hailstorm was just when we arrived at the station and had abated before we set off) but dry most of the way and sunny when we arrived at Futureyard for their Wax+Gears gig

  19. Our #FolkRidingBikes group #InTheSaddle ride from Chester to Birkenhead ended up being a little damp 🤣

    Lovely route though, and still excellent fun. Chippy stop at Parkgate and the bike-powered gig at #FutureYard was great.

    (I accidentally left the GoPro recording, so drained the battery quite early on) here's some video from it:

  20. Today's #FolkRidingBikes adventure involves the train to Chester, then a ride back round the Wirral coast to Birkenhead in time to catch the Wax + Gears pedal-powered gig at Futureyard.

  21. Filling in the survey about travel through the #Mersey tunnels - ns55.askia.com/WebProd/Intervi

    Lots of questions don't really apply, because I only cycle through it and so don't pay a toll, but I was amused to answer this question
