The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet 10th September 2023

 How has your week been? Mine has been OK, a very hot (as mentioned yesterday) but good rehearsal with The False Dots for our gig on Friday 15th. A thoroughly enjoyable trip to watch Hadley FC progress in the FA Trophy yesterday. Those were the highlights, but that's enough of me, what were our local tweeters up to. I hope you agree that this week we have a rather decent selection.

1. This caught my eye. I really must make the effort to check it out. I'd be fascinated to know what tracks are being spun

2.And whilst we are in Burnt Oak, this may interest you. This particularly caught my eye as one of my first adult jobs was manufacturing Bat detectors for Queen Mary College, for a global bat survey in 1982. I worked for a company called Physiological Instrumentation based in Delancy Passage in Camden.

Are you a bat enthusiast? 🦇

We’ll be at Watling Park in Burnt Oak on the 13th of September, looking for these small mammals during a guided walk. We even have bat detectors to help us in our quest!

7. Just a reminder, if you get a parking ticket unfairly, contact Mr Mustard

I won 3-0 at the tribunal again yesterday, two motorists already donating to you @NLondonHospice Included this PCN which was not received on the day and was found not to have been 'fixed' to the vehicle. Just lying there is not enough. pic.twitter.com/qEzA7nXjIw

10. Ands finally, some wonderful local history

Harry Holt trained Jack Hannan for a month prior to this fight choosing the @baldfacedstagn2 at #Finchley as their headquarters. Well known pedestrian Bob Fuller helped Holt in training Hannan which may account for his ability to last almost 4hrs in the Ring. #Boxing #History #UK https://t.co/PbFYBOBeDh pic.twitter.com/6H8DXOaRir
