The Tweets of The Week in The London Borough of Barnet - 05/08/2018

I've been away this week! But I'm back now and I've been scouring the Barnet Twitteratti's postings to see what I've missed. Here is my pick of the week

1. Let's start with some fun in Burnt Oak. Just wish they did this when I was a nipper!

We're making big Beano characters & Dennis puppets at Burnt Oak's #MischiefMakers art & craft session! So excited! Wed 8 Aug, 10-11am. Ages 5-10. See https://t.co/Q71jcDKlvl for details. #SummerReadingChallenge #summer #fun #SoBeano #LearningLeisureLife pic.twitter.com/1dzOs1Iq6P

8. This tweet rather worries me as a Mill Hill resident

my dad worked at Mill Hill barracks
now levelled

he signed off ICBMs as duty RSM
hence the radiation sign

children and families now live on the site

one of those missiles, 10 years ahead of public domain, would of levelled London and most of the south east and parts of France pic.twitter.com/QyZSgZ7aZK
