The Tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 15 Aug 2022

 So here we are, half way through August. How has your week been? I've had a good week, catching up with friends, seeing my first football locally since December, it feels like things are really starting to get back to normal, which is a pretty good feeling.  Lets have a look at what our esteemed local tweeters have been up to. 

1. It was great to be back at Brickfield Lane watching Hadley FC. Great to see so many familiar faces. This was a real highlight, a good performance from Flackwell, who did well with ten men and kept going until the last minute, but Hadley just about edged it 2-1

A last minute effort from Phil Pryor producing a quality save from the @hadleyfc keeper 🧤 #Heathens pic.twitter.com/o3nzIJbz6z

3. I love this picture from Pete Scully. I've had a few bags of tasty chips from the Captains Cabin over the years. Used to have to walk past it when I lived in Mollison Way for a couple of years, on the way back from Burnt Oak Station, the aroma of fish and chips was irresistable.

Seven years ago today I drew the Captain's Cabin fish & chip shop in Burnt Oak, north London, because I always liked their fish & chips. When I was a kid I'd get a bag of chips (plenty of salt and vinegar) with a bread roll and a can of tango from here. pic.twitter.com/9hGMaAWsHC

4. Regular readers will know that we've been supporting Mark Amies and his campaign to save the Railway hotel in Edgware for several years. I do hope one day I can stop including these tweets and have a pint in their with Mark instead

The Railway Hotel, Edgware, yesterday. @HistoricEngland @BarnetCouncil Please note the gates are now broken. Yet again, the property is insecure. This Grade 2 building is at risk, you need to do more to protect it. #RailwayHotelEdgware @Barneteye @ProtectPubs @NLondonCAMRA pic.twitter.com/QMEVeIaBak

7. Fun was had in West Hendon Yesterday!

Great to see some familiar faces and great conversations too. Just for the record, the rumour about walking hedges is genuine…they really do exist. #barnet #summer #westhendon https://t.co/5jTiXk1jjM

10. What's your favourite riff? This one sounds pretty good to me, but I have to admit I am biased!

At Mill Hill Music Complex, we love a good riff. This one from the False Dots sounds pretty good to us! What’s your favourite riff? pic.twitter.com/ApR8LAIZZ9
