So sad to learn that the amazing @carolkirkwood is leaving @BBCBreakfast - we’ve worked together so many times of the last 20 odd years, but Wimbledon was always special to me.

Son (19) in full time employment, decent wage & buying 1st car, needs £5k loan - if this is the face that “UK finance” wants to show young people there is no hope. Printing 20+ page documents at home? Who does that in 2025? A 19 year old with bank statements? Total farce!!

Now scanning the printed pages… I’m sure everyone has a printer and scanner at home, no way that is a barrier to credit! Beyond livid… and tired I’ve been on a night shift. How do we expect young people to join society if we make it sooo hard?

A little bit of my work from yesterday. Absolutely amazing to meet @TheHollyJohnson and see the wonderful exhibit about him @MuseumLiverpool - but nice too to share the time he met my wife @cathjones73 40 years ago at New Brighton Rocks festival!

Seriously hoping that a tv exec is doing the same as me this summer and reaches my conclusion that @RealDMitchell book Unruly would make a fantastic documentary. It’s a very good read! (Especially whilst drinking cold beer next to a pool)

Society members had a working party today at Nantmawr. Jake and the rest of the gang laid another track panel, keying the rails in before learning about the rest of the site and the monorail. There's more to be done and we need you, click here to join: class507.org.uk/
Had a really fun day at the TVLR with the @class_507 Preservation Society doing a bit of track laying for 507001. Very nice to meet everyone and thanks to everyone at TVLR for the bacon butties! 😁
