The Saturday List #171 - The Top Ten Tweeters to Follow in the London Borough of Barnet!

Do you "Do Twitter"? Sadly, I do. It has virtually ruined my life, but don't let that put you off. I spend far too much time poring over the most banal of pronouncements from all matter of semi-vegetative tweeters, who think they are Oscar Wilde reborn. However this week, as often happens, one of my friends set me a challenge. It may or may not come as a surprise, but most of my friends never discuss my blog with me. I am quite unaware of how many read it. One friend, who I was having a beer with, said "I've just started doing Twitter. Who are the best people in the Borough to follow?". I said "That's easy, the bloggers...." and before I could continue, he cut me off. He said "I don't mean all of the people doing political stuff. I mean 'normal human beings' ". I was a tad surprised to find out my friend does not consider me to be a normal human being, but I guess that being a "Normal Human being" was never high on my priority list. So here is my Top Ten list of people who tweet, and a few are even "Normal Human Beings!". Please don't be too offended if I missed you off, it just means that we are so spoiled for great tweeters and I wanted a good cross section of both Normal and Abnormal human beings. I fyou follow the Tweets of the week series on a Sunday, you'll already be familiar with the work of most of these marvellous people!

4. Toasted by Thameslink AKA @ToastedbyTL
A more serious Tweeter, taking on the might of the Thameslink railway, who give us all a free sauna every day on our Daily Commute!

.@TLRailUK for #TweetTheManager

1) Can you confirm exactly what changes @SiemensMobility @Liebherr have made to the AC in the last year?

2) Can you confirm exactly what temp is set and how long it should take to start (TfL is 18.5c)?

3) Why has this taken so long?

Thanks.
