We're reaching for our smelling salts. A new vape shop will be opening on Sauchiehall St next to the world-renowned Mackintosh Tearooms. This follows the devastating fire at Union St earlier this year caused by a vape shop that destroyed a Victorian building + took the Station out of use for days 🧵

Edinburgh is the city that on one hand officially advises visitors to "consider walking or cycling wherever possible" during the Fringe and on the other does naff all about its useless, painted, advisory, uphill cycle lanes in the centre with Military Tattoo-branded Range Rovers parked on them

Day one complete. So hot, and I’m not as young or as fit as I’d like to be! 😅 Digger joined me right at the end, doing her best to look like she’d run the whole way 😊. Huge thanks to everyone who’s sponsored so far — really appreciate it, and I know it makes a difference to Brake!

Yesterday, two men were convicted of the most horrendous crime imaginable – sexually abusing and murdering a baby. There were no riots in the street, no calls for 'pure cold rage' from Nigel Farage. The men were white. People like Farage do not care about women and children. It's pure cold racism.

Fourth row: 80s tv/film-related bed linen, garage sleeping, adult in child bed, scary dolls, bed under desk
Bottom row: sleeping bag, brass instrument, own house but not own bed, inappropriate electrical points, Proper Cancellation Stuff...

157 years ago, on the 9th of December 1868, the world's first traffic lights were installed outside the Palace of Westminster in London. It used semaphore arms during the day and green/red gas lamps at night. It had to be operated by a constable. It exploded on January 2nd 1869. #otd #history 🗃️

Information about the new system. Richard Mayne was the head of the Metropolitan Police. Image reproduced under creative commons licence. POLICE NOTICE. Street crossing signals. CAUTION. The Semaphore Arms lowered and by Night with a Green Light. STOP. The Semaphore Arms extended and by Night with a Red Light. By the Signal "CAUTION", all persons in charge of Vehicles and Horses are warned to pass over the Crossing with care, and due regard to the safety of Foot Passengers. The Signal "STOP", will only be displayed when it is necessary that Vehicles and Horses shall be actually stopped on each side of the Crossing to allow the passage of Persons on Foot; notice being thus given to all persons in charge of Vehicles and Horses to stop clear of the Crossing.

🚨 😾 VICTORIAN EMERGENCY CAT TRICYCLE 😾 🚨 Pop a card in the London post in 1896, & a chauffeur driven tricycle would collect your pet for care & cure, providing a smooth springed ride to the Hampstead infirmary More Cycling World Illustrated gems digitised at mrc-describe.epexio.com/records/CTC/...

Part of a page from 'The Cycling World Illustrated', 26 August 1896. It includes photos of a tricycle for collecting cats (complete with uniformed driver) and the Cats' Infirmary, Hampstead (a pen of cats of varying sizes in someone's house, one of the cats is being cuddled by what appears to be the tricycle driver). The accompanying text reads: "A philanthropic lady in the North of London has established an infirmary for cats. On receipt of a postcard she will send for the ailing animal, the tricycle which collects them being provided with a box resting on springs to avoid all jarring and jolting. The cats are carefully tended at the infirmary, where their quarters and most comfortable, and when cured are returned to their owners, no charge being made."
