After years of painstaking research by a team of experts we finally have an answer to this most important of question

(take UK bounding box, split into four quadrants, find that part of North East England truly is north and east plus other geographical pub quiz questions)

Delighted to receive a batch of photos from someone we met here - they fill some longstanding gaps; eg. this fine image of the EK Tram Stop is the first we've had access to (click through to see some of this stuff where it is today) Credit: Morven Maciver

Someone from Piers Morgan's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵

Nice to see this historic Glasgow landmark building back in use - @archhfund helped pay for Glasgow Building Preservation Trust to do early options appraisal work on its potential re-use options back in 2010!

Fun evening out recording a podcast for Glasgow City Heritage Trust about the ‘work’ we’ve been doing collecting stories & memories about the Glasgow Garden Festival After the Garden Festival...
Great to be back in Malin Group South Rotunda - famous as Nardini’s during the Festival.

Tix for Ten Commandments at the ABC Charing Cross in Glasgow, 1960. Opened as the Norwood in 1936 by AE Pickard with a mini Forth Bridge on the roof, sadly removed when ABC took over in 1958. Still exists as a snooker hall.

In anticipation of that, here's a glimpse inside and a hint of the elegance that Nardini brought to the Festival: fashion shows, immaculate waiting staff (and a wine list that couldn't be more 80s).
