Despite the glassware, this is a @kernelbrewery.bsky.social Juicy Pale in the Black Horse, Aylestone and, as expected, it is lovely. Perfect pre-T20 pint.

🚗➡️🚴‍♂️ Leave at least 1.5m when overtaking a cyclist, but that doesn’t always happen.

Our #TooCloseForComfort campaign shows how intimidating close passes can be, and why space matters.

But now I'm looking for a *big computer* software solution for my clunky, 10 year old iMac that lets me edit (and, crucially) export in 9:16 vertical resolution. Editing clips on your phone by pinching and cutting is one of the most frustrating things I have tried to do. Any solutions, pals?

Traditional English beers, like ale, bitter, mild and session, are on the way out – and are being replaced by lager, helles and pilsner.

Beer people! I’ve recently been given this bottle of Bass Museum Brewery Strong Ale brewer in 1988. Ltd edition #445/500. Does anyone have any information on this beer, or Museum brewery from that time? All info appreciated. I plan to open it and try it in due course.
