The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.
The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Nothing spoils a lovely meal out like the sinking knowledge that that you’re going to be bullied for detailed online feedback on it for days if not weeks to come.

Things that shouldn’t have happened, but did; I just made my debut with the #bbcsingers in a last minute serenade to music. They were welcoming, sympathetic and brilliant - such wonderful solos. My thank you gift to them is to never do it again!

Remembering my Great, Great Uncle, Cecil Fraser Johnson, who died on 12th April 1917 at Vimy Ridge. He was 20 years old.
The Battle of Vimy Ridge was a defining moment in history — when the four divisions of the Canadian Corps joined together in courage and unity on the battlefield.
More than 3,598 Canadians paid the ultimate sacrifice. Lest we forget.

I am utterly wrung out, humbled and inspired by the BBC2 documentary about Clemency Burton Hill. Everything shared with us. The despair, the hope and the love of her recovery and acceptance of her injury are extraordinary. Brilliant broadcasting and an exceptional woman. Thank you.
