The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 29th October 2023

As ever, we start with a quick round up of my week, how has your week been? I've been busy! Monday had a rather nice curry in Brick Lane and a pint in the Blind Beggar. Without wishing to make a politcal point, we did have a discussion abou the Palestinian flags on every lamp post. When I first started working in that area in the 1980's, it was still a relatively Jewish area, with some amazing bagel shops. Things change. Wednesday had a band rehearsal, Friday celebrated my nephews recent wedding. And last night,,,,, 

1. It's always nice when you put on a show and someone appreciates it.

Despite today's 3-0 defeat against an excellent @kidlingtonfc_ team, we still wanted to show our support for the team during tonights False Dots gig, supporting The Silencerz. Hadley fan @Barneteye is on lead vocals and guitar and @TCHamm0nd is on trumpet.

Gig starts at 8:15. pic.twitter.com/qufh2K0C96

2. This post had to be included. The tweets of the week have been featuring Mark Amies posts about The Railway Hotel in Edgware for nearly a decade now. Sadly it seems no nearer a solution (other than the place burning down)

#RailwayHotelEdgware Update. These photos taken this morning.
Not only has fence still not been fixed (despite numerous asks by myself, @Barneteye & @lucy_wakeley, & numerous failed promises by @BarnetCouncil), but the lightning rod has been cut. It should be earthed. pic.twitter.com/By7dTrsP0S

6. Who knew that Crespigny Road was so exciting?

Off Vivian Ave is Crespigny Road which was location of a WW2 “safe-house” for Double-Agents (loyal to Allies). Part of the the D-Day location deception started here and some other events.
