Seems the Scottish now have the opportunity to see me as a museum exibit! 😅
A chance to visit the exhibition train ‘Inspiration’ celebrating 200 years of rail, 1825-2025. It’s at Glasgow today, touring Scotland then heading south, it’s free to visit but you need to book, see railway200.co.uk/inspiration/

It’s time for THE charger.
Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.
It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!
