On Friday 11th January, The National Railway Museum is running a special train: Flying Scotsman's "Salute" to the man who really saved her for the nation: Sir William McAlpine. Scotsman will haul the train from Kings Cross to York, where a new (diesel!)…

I have no idea what you are trying to STOP but perhaps it could be IMPORTED GOODS??
I am trying to START: a campaign to BACK British manufacturers and farmers and keep Brits employed.
BACK BRITAIN: Buy British: Don’t buy CHINESE!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Beautiful Engine.. I only wish my beloved Bill McAlpine was still with us to see you reach 100. were it not for him: you would now be rotting on a concrete plinth in America!

I just read this: does anyone understand it? "As we look at 2020, polarised views contine to define global discourse & we predict design outcomes will reflect this in contrasting expressions of common influences." What happened to English?
Happy Sunday! I'm getting SUCH a good response to
"I'm Backing Britain".. Do please, ALL, add this to your e-mails (not enough space on a tweet!)
BACK BRITAIN: Buy British: Don’t buy CHINESE!!
I care passionately about where my family's and my friends' food comes from and how it has been produced. That's why I am proud to be supporting
#BackBritishFarming
Day to highlight British farmers' high animal welfare, environmental and production standards

spread the word please: I want the world to know the NRM is finally doing justice to my husband's achievements. The non-redhead in the photo is Director of NRM:
NATURALLY the Telegraph piece was edited so emphasis ended up more on Farming than manufacturing. BOTH are equally important. We call this GREAT BRITAIN: we don't behave as if we believe that. We have GREAT Products here: use them or lose them.
I hope all those will a profound sense of the injustice of the backstabbing of Boris will now be getting behind hom to protect that back and BRING BACK BORIS!
check out twitter posts from Steven Barrett...
Rishi proved he is devious, untrutsworthy. Boris is Human never devious.
Oh - and stop bashing Boris! Would YOU who carp really believe you want his job? Even his opponents don't want his job. He brilliantly extracted us from EU. Fish were always going to be the final slippery fight: but we are out: we can "change our minds": we're now invincible!
Just to be clear: I LOVE Boris and his brain: I think he has "long Covid" and is therefore being frightened by the "science". We HAVE to get Britain WORKING again.

BRILLIANT! only can we look after Britain first? We need to CLEAN it up and we need to help our producers and manufacturers by buying what is HERE not importing.
We need paper bags, not plastic.. so many simple but "antique" solutions to todays pollution.
I couldn't fathom how to do an AD on Twitter.. you follow all the "form" then it asks you to nominate a "Creative" and when you can't 'cos not a clue... that's it.. bye bye! So I did one on Instagram instead.. just same old: BACK BRITAIN: BUY BRITISH - NOT Chinese!! grrrrr.
Amazing response to my attempt to resurrect the "I'm Backing Britain" campaign. my E-sign-off is:
BACK BRITAIN, BUY BRITISH: don't buy Chinese. Others are copying. Please will YOU? Check Country of Origin before buying a biscuit or a Bike! BACK BRITISH BUSINESS
@British_AirwaIys
It seems to be impossible to contact an English-speaking HUMAN with authority to do ANYTHING as simple as altering a slightly complex flight schedule.. despite the cost of the tickets... which is HUGE. "That's not allowed" is NOT service! who can help?

Oh come on! so have I - and we had winters you are clearly too young to recall.. and soft-tops that gave about as much protection as an umbrella.. hard tops did get used.
@Luiseach
Try reading some facts about the Queen's reign dear: Ingrid Seward's book on Prince Philip would help you too. I assume you are young: and foreign. BUT: being "old" I think we should be innoculating 30-50yr olds first. apart from Her Majesty & Phil of course
Paddy Hopkirk: the world is much diminished: you were a survivor! supposed to be with us for ever. Thank you Paddy for all the fun and laughter. Who will make us laugh so irreverently now? Judy XX

Not allowed to use the word "SALVO" in this context: so it is DECOR-ARCHITECTURAL - which is a mouthful but says what it is: Architectural and Decorative Antiques and Textiles. Be there or miss the best!
another stunning morning - for me: but too many lives blighted by Government policy now. We MUST just let this bug ride as we have others. I'm old enough to be able to say we need to look after the YOUNG with families to feed. NOT us oldies: weve had the BEST of lives.

Very sweet! All must come to Fawley Hill 23rd/24th Sept. to see how to party here. Weddings, Corporate, Christmas. Humphreys can arrange.

Darling if it is just a matter of lactose intolerance, LACTO-Free (real milk) is perfect. All other milk-substitutes taste yukky and float about lumpily! I think I've tried 'em all!

@SealRoberta
GOOD: then please SHOUT about it. put
"BACK BRITAIN, Buy British, not Chinese." on your e-mails, facebook - everything. Get the message out there please.
@CotswoldLadyB
HOW I Agree! The problem is that we seem to have raised two generations of people with no manners, nor respect for the feelings of others and certainly no understanding of "Do as you would be done by".. Grrrrrrrr XXXXXto you XX

What a pity it is French! I was going to make it a National Transport Trust project.. but can't give an award for restoring a French car! especially NOW!
However, I'm sure there is a youngster out there who would love this.
