Who knew you could launch a moon off an aircraft carrier??? 😮🌕 @HMSQNLZ @RoyalNavy
In the terrible weather of recent days the @iowbusmuseum was severely flooded resulting in thousands of pounds of damage ...
If anyone can spare a fiver it would greatly help their appeal... #bus #buses #isleofwight #transport

My sister was assaulted on her way home yesterday around NW on the Jubilee Line. He tried to intimidate her and when she started filming him for proof, he then attacked her. She's reported this to the police but if you recognise him please let me know.

An update from @The_Orcadian, including a statement from Pentland Ferries, on the incident involving the MV Pentalina.
Worrying reports from @The_Orcadian that the MV Pentalina has run aground. This is the boat which has been brought back into service to allow CalMac to charter the MV Alfred on the west coast routes. Hoping crew and passengers are OK, and everyone is able to get off safely.

It’s my duty to tweet my spot of one of the ten (maybe 11) remaining K4 phone kiosks left in existence. The 50 phone/post box combos built 1930-5 were a failure: moisture wrecked adhesive stamps in the machine, so that function was quickly deactivated. This, at @EastSomersetRly.

A photo of the work done on 006 is certainly a lot cleaner than it was when we first got it.
This work wouldn't have been possible without our dedicated volunteers and our members.
If you want to be involved, send us a message here or have a look at lttractractiongroup.co.uk

Today my thoughts are with the Ukrainian family who shared our home for much of the last year. Mum and two children, who have seen things no child should ever have to see. And the father who stayed, and who did not survive.

Farewell and safe trip to Japanese Navy vessel Shimakaze, leaving Portsmouth 🇯🇵 🇬🇧 @jmsdf_pao_eng
So nice to see @HantspolMarine doing their thing in the Solent today with ‘my boat’ Protector that I named years ago.
So pleased to see it still around!
Keep up the great work guys and girls! 😊🚔

I’ve had messages from people who have cancelled @POferries bookings. Both summer passengers and freight. As someone else put it: a Ratner moment. Are customers so upset that they will simply take their business elsewhere?
