The Tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 24 Jan 2021

 Lockdown goes on. For many, the snow has provided some light relief to the monotony. There have been some great snow pics and some nice tweets elsewhere earlier in the week.  Here is our pick

1. We rather liked this one. Has Dr Who been transformed into an Ice Warrior? (One for the Tom Baker era fans!)

4. Our historical tweet of the week, recalling a disaster in Burnt Oak

22 January 1889. Birth of Harry George Hawker MBE, AFC., in Moorabbin, Victoria, Australia. Aviation pioneer and co-founder of Hawker Aircraft. He died 12 July 1921 in the crash of his Noeuport Goshawk in a park at Burnt Oak, Edgware while preparing for the Aerial Derby. pic.twitter.com/xqjNoC56FD

5. A big thank you to all those key workers, for whom the snow was not a day of fun.

6. As ever, we can rely on Donald Lyven and Samuel Levy to give us some amazing pictures of our local wildlife. These two guys are amazing tweeters.

7. Another great tweeter is @Time_NW, with some great footage here of Minder at Brent Cross, back in the old days of analogue!

Brent Cross turns up in the 'Minder' episode 'You Lose Some, You Win Some', September 1980. Shop interiors include Miss Selfridge, Kemps and The Picnic Basket cafe. (Warning: Dated Attitudes) pic.twitter.com/btL37N2aJ8
