The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 30th January 2022

 So how has your week been? Mine has been pretty good. Nice curry in Aldgate yesterday (as mentioned yesterday), five a side at Powerleague on Thursday, a classic game! On Friday had a nice curry in Mill Hill and a couple of beers at The Services club with my old mate Boz Boorer. Yesterday, it was up to Brickfield Lane for football at Hadley FC for a very enthralling game of footie and today it's off to The Pizza Express for a Jazz lunch with Ian Shaw and Joe Stilgoe. Oh yeah, made a little video for the Save London Music Campaign as well, Please have a shufti. It's at the bottom of the page

But that's enough about me, what have Barnet's Twitteratti been up to? Here for your delectation, is my selection of the best tweets. 

1. Lets start with a follow up to one of last weeks tweets of the week. This was fascinating and hats off to the Mill Hill Historical Society for amazing slueth work

A few clues here, sounds more like it was a field rather than a park so probably built over now.

Near Hall Farm, Edgware and Brookside, Burnt Oak though I don't know exactly where they are so the mystery deepens! pic.twitter.com/2wbpD1vh2a

2. This has to be the most hilarious tweet of the week. My Father in law did the same thing with my sister in law!

I once forgot my daughter when we went out for the first time. It was at a shop in Burnt Oak where I knew the staff. One was holding Sacha. I paid for my stuff and was walking out.
It's only when she asked me if I'd forgotten anything that I remembered🤭https://t.co/utMjiQCtQi

6. Love a good Ford Capri. My Dad had a souped up three litre Mk1 Capri, with a fancy paint job and a go faster stripe!

The new Ford Capri comes to Brent Cross Garage, February 1969. The model is one of the 'Capri Girls'. I wonder if that car is still on the road?@memorieshendon photo. pic.twitter.com/1HfsEYg4sp
