The #rachelreeves emotional outburst story has a way to go yet. But, I am in no doubt that had a male chancellor sobbed openly during PMQT, close to the PM, & while he/she was talking that Chancellor would not remain in post for much longer & never to return to the front benches.

When I was about 8 or 9 i found a ten bob note on the path. I told my Dad who made me take it to the police station, much to my annoyance. The desk sgt took it & said come back in a week & if it hasnโ€™t been claimed you can keep it. A week later I did come back & the smiling

What item of clothing have you bought but only worn once because you had the pee ripped out of you or it looked awful? Mine was a Granddad vest around 1970.

Just five years ago the cost of a first class stamp was 76p. Itโ€™s now ยฃ1.73. An increase of 173%. Inflation has increased by 28% in that period. How can that be justified? Itโ€™s making the cost of my begging letters untenable.

How astonishing that a random memory from half a century ago can trigger such a response. So many of us experienced exactly the same thing. I think it stirred something deep inside about an age lost, decency & a yearning for a simpler time. โค๏ธ

GORDON JAGO RIP I'm saddened by Gordon Jago's passing at the age of 92. Gordon was QPR manager when I first started going to Loftus Road & he laid foundations for our great mid-70s team. In recent years I became good friends with Gordon & he emailed me regularly with his news RIP

You're slacking Martin Martin Knight . I expect you to keep me abreast of momentous occasions like this. I actually thought he'd gone the way of Adam West.
