The Tweets of The Week in The London Borough of Barnet - 9/9/2018

It's Sunday, so it's the Tweets of the Week!
Don't forget to follow any Tweeters who tickle your fancy!

I've been on my hols in Portugal this week, so lets see what I've missed?

1. Where else should we start but in Burnt Oak. But why is it called Burnt Oak? The mystery is solved

It is said that a Roman site was located near here, which was used as a boundary mark by burning a tree to act as a guide - a burnt oak. #LoveLondon #VisitLondon #NorthLondon #BurntOak #Treemendous #LoveTheTube #TfL #PublicTransport #TheWorldIsYourOystercard #Tubesday pic.twitter.com/sflFGQDCQh

2. Our historical tweet of the week. Rather fetching picture of an old trolley bus

4. Inside Mill Hill think Barnet Council need to fix the park benches in Mill Hill Park, we agree

Need some new furniture in Mill Hill Park @BarnetCouncil @insidemillhill @ruby_robot @Laithe_Jajeh @Barneteye or at least repair the existing #lovemillhill pic.twitter.com/FmheDR8R4h

5. In perhaps the strangest tweet of the week, ex Barnet Mayor and disgraced convicted criminal Brian Coleman reveals that he doesn't support pro active action to prevent the sale of alcohol to minors by unscrupulous shopkeepers

For "test purchases " read entrapment . The Council should stop this straight away , I didnt allow it

7. Live music and community spaces are important. And they are great when both come together, as they have done in Cricklewood this weekend

Really lucky to have a community farm in the area providing a space for arts, live music as well as seasonal veg @clitterhouse #Cricklewood pic.twitter.com/PGUYxfBi7y

8. Fancy a bit of folk music in Colindale?

Mon 10th Sept - @ChandosArmsPub, @ColindaleFolk. Hamish Currie will be encouraging us to join him in singing a few songs, possibly with hand actions. Inhibited Londoners beware! https://t.co/AWs08bykDA pic.twitter.com/v0ydS32v36

Runner beans, my favorite summer vegetable; prepared with my 14 year old Australian made bean slicer, that trims & tops & tails them perfectly; best £3 ever spent at @RobertDyas@AllotmentYear @LondonSnowWatch @BrokenBarnet @LDNWormsNGarden @FinchleyNursery @FinchleyHort @__Revel pic.twitter.com/YU1MNRphYf
