So how has your week been? I've had a pretty decent week. Met up with a good mate who I haven't seen for a while at one of London's more interesting pubs, The Edgar Wallace. It's got some amazing memorabilia from the 60's and 70's. If youa re around Fleet Street and you like a good pub, check it out.
But that's' enough of my week, what have our tweeters been up to? Some interesting stuff in there, I hope you will concur.
1.On the subject of good pubs, we are sadly once again back in Edgware at the Railway Hotel. Nothing would make me happier than to never see another tweet about this appalling story, but so long as Mark Amies keeps tweeting it, I will support him. If by chance, you are a benevolent millionaire, who wants to make a great business and do something for the community in Edgware, please get in touch. I have some great plans to transform this into the beating heart of Edgware that it really deserves to be. Sadly the pandemic has used most of my spare cash! What could be better than a pub/microbrewery/GrassroostMusic Venue/Community Space five minutes walk from a tube station on a High Street earmarked for regeneration? You can't take your cash with you
So, @BarnetCouncil & @HistoricEngland , if a pub like the Lord Napier can be revived & put back in successful local use, then why is there not the will to do so with The Railway Hotel, in Edgware? When is this building going to be given its day? #railwayhoteledgware @PubsSaving https://t.co/28yf7sKhC8 pic.twitter.com/QxSHYkdOsg

2. I rather like Paul Dykes tweets, charting the lost Police boxes of London.
Back in Barnet on Burnt Oak Broadway to begin this week’s #GhostMonuments, with the site of the police box that used to keep an eye on the Bald Faced Stag pub, now an out-of-business house-clearance outlet. pic.twitter.com/dperbWX4ne

3. We featured the Good Neighbour scheme in our advent Calendar series. Here is some of the good work they do
We held a bit of a party for our new minibus at the Sacred Heart church which hosts our Tuesday lunch club. Many thanks to Barnet's Mayor, Councillor Alison Cornelius, for not only attending but spending a great deal of time chatting to our clients. It was much appreciated. pic.twitter.com/1N0ABhtrF6

4. Check out this film about Edgware. It is well worth a view
Another story about Edgware!

I’m sure many of you know the history of Edgware, but it’s always great to see, and here another documentary makers story of cut-throat competition and devious deeds in North London.

5. Robert Elms featured Stoll Studios in Cricklewood on his show on Friday. It is well worth a listen again on BBC Sounds. There was a fascinating call from Sir Sidney Samuelson, who is 96 and still sharp as a button talking about the history of the studios.
Our 2nd query is from Paul in Ashford.

What more can you tell us about this film studio in Cricklewood? Did you see the Sherlock Holmes film and do you know what else was filmed there? 📽️

10. We have some fine local musicians in our neck of the woods
You can hear me wailing & singing on this! The intro to ‘Slip Away’ with @TFMCHeartache as captured by @dafljones on his camera set-up. We’ll be playing this psych-drenched song on Saturday’s @AcklamVillage @Hot_Vox bill. Recorded @MillHillMusicCo at last night’s rehearsal. pic.twitter.com/pK0DRJxWzb
