Just a gentle reminder, Wemyss Bay WILL auto-correct to Wetness Bay if you’re not careful. Which can make for awkward interactions in your railway loving family group chat.
Awful, stressful experience with Tesla today. Absolutely refusing to allow me to book a much overdue service for a car that belongs to someone who is in hospital having long-term treatment for cancer. Rude, uncompromising and uncompassionate. Everything Elon wants in his employees I guess
I love LOVE when “academics” get offended at “plebs” enjoying something they believe they know everything about. Basically this blog post appears to take issue with people making our nations heritage accessible. Oh and he misspelled @paulwhitewick.bsky.social name… twice

If you know me, you’ll know I’m a fan of an acerbic retort. Yeah, he doesn’t deserve one
Pointed out on a Instagram post about a quaint little village in Yorkshire that nowhere is really like that, and as a nation we have always been diverse…
Hope it’s a great day ☺️
Oh this looks fab
Thinking of you and @flyingvixen.bsky.social at this thoroughly shit time 🩷
My last Aussie sunset. Genuinely devastated to be leaving
A rare find. A station that was closed in 1968, but has been kept modernised with newish toilets, accessible railings etc. also the goods yard is a great play park, the turntable is a waterhole and the former line is a cycleway
