The Met's Press Office has got noticably worse since Covid. Their database seems completely unusable for staff to find incidents. It doesn't help that some of the comms team are seconded officers (this was still the case a couple of years ago) who do not want to be doing the job.

Never went in - but this is a great piece on its closure (just before Covid, which may have finished it off anyway). The Ansells stained glass in the window is great... www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/wha...

Made famous by the video shoot for UB40's Red Red Wine hit, the Eagle and Tun pub will serve its last pint today more than a century after it first opened
