I've been thinking of leaving Twitter (I still can't call it X) for some time. I've had a BlueSky and Mastodon account for 18 months and a large number of the people I know here are on one or both of those platforms.

Possible WW2 #ghostsign near Clapham Junction indicating where sand was kept for extinguishing incendiary bombs.
Lanyon Quoit - originally dating to about 3000bce. After collapsing during a storm in 1815 it was reconstructed in 1824 when the uprights were shortened and squared off. It now has a different alignment, is shorter than the original and is missing one of the uprights.

Except it's all a lie.
Here's how regulatory failures are letting international fraudsters create massive fake UK companies.

The Longstone or Long Tom Cross stands on open moorland just under 1km SW of the Hurlers stone circles on Bodmin Moor. It is possibly a Christianised menhir and the wheel-head cross probably pre-dates the Norman conquest.
