If you need an example of the financial insanity of the National Health Service - this equipment, not all of it actually used, is going to the skip as the hospital that issued it is not allowed to take it back due to the danger of cross-contamination. #nhs #wesstreeting

F1 coverage down from 85 pages to 75; only four pages for the Eddie Jordan obituary and the Lawson/Tsunodo switch only gets a mention in the Intro - not really the F1 coverage we used to get from GP Racing. Time to say goodbye @autsport-com.bsky.social #F1 #FormulaOne

A nice eBay purchase - a signed carte de visite of Garnet Wolseley. I am 95% confident the signature is authentic as it matches very closely indeed other examples and is clearly inked onto the CDV. #Wolseley #GarnetWolseley #CartedeVisite
