@BeeNetwork @AndyBurnhamGM at today’s Park Run at Sale Water Park a warden from Anchor Security was informing runners they couldn’t park unless they were Metrolink users. Do you support this?
On a sunny evening in Manchester last year Belinda taught me how to fix a puncture and inspired this documentary about female bike mechanics around the world. Three stories from the US, the UK and Inda. Loved these ladies.

A short anecdote about the great Benjamin Zephaniah. When I was a student doing a post-grad in Broadcast Journalism at the @LCCLondon , one of our assignments was to secure and record a 'celebrity interview'. I approached #BenjaminZephaniah 's agent, thinking I'd aim high... 1/4
