If it's anti-5G conspiracy theorists, do they also go around smashing up WiFi routers, which are basically the same technology, but closer to you for longer?
(And obvs they wouldn't use phones).
More seriously, don't worry, digital phone is technology is harmless. The content, I sometimes wonder...
I'm in #Totnes for the weekend and here is the house of Ann Ball, who married Thomas Bodley and funded his ambition for library in #Oxford.
Who knew!
Me with Sabine holding her article in the Ham & High paper
Brilliant to see my daughter Sabine’s first article in print in the Ham & High www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/255880..., telling her story about the day she stopped waiting for the bus – and started saving £1,000 a year.

This is good news. I've had so many meetings with entrepreneurs and others in business and charity life at the Jam Factory in #Oxford
We ❤️ Sheffield stands. Image from stand manufacturer Cyclehoop.
Everyone’s favourite cycle parking design, the Sheffield stand, will be mandated in Oxford City’s Local Plan. In a peak Liberal Democrat moment, the party’s amendment to require that “Cycle parking design should comply with [guidance document] LTN 1/20” was passed in the council debate this evening.
The UK Minister for Space and UK Space Agency CEO visited Harwell Campus to visit leading UK space companies including Astroscale, Magdrive, Oxford Space Systems & Open Cosmos. We wrote about Oxford Space Systems’ innovative antenna technology last year. oxfordclarion.uk/you-can-see-...

This is not unexpected, but it is super concerning! (And good work by the Sky team!)
"Countless reports and academic studies have explored political bias on X, but Sky News' investigation offers unprecedented evidence of how the effects of that imbalance are playing out in the UK."
New Stagecoach bus network map
A bus service every 7-8 minutes for Barton, every 7-8 minutes for Kidlington and Oxford Parkway, and every 5 minutes for Blackbird Leys will kick in from 30 November with a raft of timetable changes by Stagecoach. Night buses will operate on all these routes until 3.30am on Friday/Saturday.
In Abingdon we are lucky enough to have one.
Extra points to @greenpartyemma.bsky.social for the Tolkien reference.
Tolkien was early to understand the damage caused by industrial pollution and cars.

Buses are getting around Oxford faster as a result of the congestion charge, according to Oxford Bus Company. MD Luke Marion said “We’ve already seen encouraging improvements to traffic flow and bus journey times in the scheme’s first week.”
Budget airline bosses agree that flight tax increases are an effective form of climate change mitigation.

Bus into Oxford at 5pm.
Certainly less congestion and quicker than previously.
(It is half term though, so let's wait for full data and a full verdict)
I'm adding up the costs - am I right that this is significantly cheaper than the repairs to the Kennington ring road bridge?
Great to be out the #Oxford #GlowRide with Cowley Road and Condors @cyclinguk.bsky.social tonight. #MyRideOurRight for women cycling
#Oxon4Buses is calling for Network Rail to create a transport hub at the new station rather than a multi-story car park. This opportunity for an integrated network could be lost forever. Please sign ✍️

I for one regard an en-dash as aesthetically pleasing compared to a stubby hyphen or an excessive em-dash.
Hyphens within hyphenated words, yes – but not between words.

Guide Dogs is in need of more puppy raiser volunteers in Oxfordshire. Puppy raisers typically care for a guide dog puppy for 12-16 months and will guide him or her through early training, in a loving home.

Excellent article @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
I'm in Oxfordshire and support the Oxford Clarion too.
But I'll also mention London Centric - www.londoncentric.media/p/london-new...
Spare us, spare us
We need to look to our Fundamental British or English Values:
* Democracy
* The Rule of Law
* Individual Liberty
* Mutual Respect and Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.
The flag should stand for these, and it's where some people disrespect the 4th with it that makes me queasy.
Climate change is affecting our lives in an increasing number of ways. But Oxford has been at the forefront of the science, from the earliest weather records 250 years ago, to the latest satellites. We took a look both at the 200-year old science of climate change, and Oxford’s part in it.👇
Oxfordshire has had an unusual week. We find that this week’s newsletter is mainly about protests, pubs, and puppies. So if you like any or all of these things, make sure you’re signed up to get it in your inbox tomorrow lunchtime. oxfordclarion.uk
I believe it's an old District Line train, converted into a test train. In which context, 40mph is not too bad...
The new Old Anchor in Abingdon looks worth exploring...
Or, there's the brewery that makes beer named after 600-year old infrastructure...
Wonder why Vance chose the Cotswolds and not the USA for his holidays...

Implying that Ronnie Barker was a clown is going a bit far.
8 bikes outside Donnington Arms, leaned against trees, road signs and walls - with no bike parking
Repost if you think the Donnington Arms should get some bike racks!
