Spotted in the wild—looks like fresh additions to Bristol Library! @WeirdBristol https://t.co/1YH4oGr26d

24 Sep 2022 09:49:58

@WeirdBristol Made me happy to see. Confirmed that they’re brand new in; they were on the desk to have the labels pasted in the front!

Bye bye, Boston Tea Party in Clifton Village. I wonder if one day I'll be able to sit upstairs again, in whatever business takes over, staring idly out of the window and watching the busy zebra crossing on Regent Street. https://t.co/tuhhFwcPHd

There is a fire hydrant running from a 100mm diameter water main three metres in front of this sign. #notalotofpeopleknowthat https://t.co/ewIiBLchQj

24 Sep 2020 16:23:13

@stillawake Some are imperial, some are metric, so for example this one is for a three-inch diameter pipe, 45 feet in front of the sign. https://t.co/Lm62Ow5nnr

@stillawake Thanks!

24 Sep 2020 16:37:11

@RobLogan3 @stillawake Welcome! (As I understand it, it's the diameter of the water main the hydrant attaches to, which is important information for the fire brigade—the hydrant connectors themselves are the same standard size across the UK, I *think*.)

@tsunimee This is not unreasonable, especially since they stopped (usually) being an actual pair of things like they were when that name evolved. https://t.co/XqSE1zyZ8z

24 Sep 2020 16:48:29

@tsunimee Though I'm old, so my app is called "On the Scales". But its target audience is other old fogeys who still measure their weight in stones and pounds, so I don't think that's a bad thing... https://t.co/V7xdkmNGqK

24 Sep 2020 16:50:15

@tsunimee Yes! Though I recently changed to measuring in metric to get away from some of the guilty feeling about how much I weigh and not be able to compare it to my weight in the past 😂

24 Sep 2020 16:55:41

@tsunimee I just round up to the nearest foot.

24 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@hayles I don't have bagels so much any more. Used to live in Gants Hill, near the awesome Bagel Bakery. Probably long gone :(

@hayles I remember scrounging early morning cream cheese bagels from the Bagel Bakery when coming come from clubs at early o'clock. #nomnom

24 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@hayles Hmm. I may have to find somewhere closer than Costco to sell me a bagel or two :)

24 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@hayles That's a long way out of my way for a bagel!

24 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@hayles Yeah, but I have no storage space. Costco seems best if you have room to buy in bulk & store loads of stuff.

24 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@hayles I mean, apart from the chock-full-already ones in the kitchen, I don't actually have any cupboards. At all.
