Tim Manwaring @timmanwaring.bsky.social · 02/10/2026When the chap who has come to clear the wasps' nest from your attic exclaims "wow, that's friggin' huge", you begin to wonder whether nuking it from orbit may be the only way...

Tim Manwaring @timmanwaring.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This is concerning. Some emergency services aren't able to locate OS grid references easily (and there aren't any obviously simple free apps to tell you this quickly without data even if they could). In rural areas w3w has unfortunately become the norm. Surely someone could design an alternative? 001

Tim Manwaring @timmanwaring.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I also love seeing the Pennine Tower. It pops out between hedgerows on the lanes around Lancaster, still surprising me because, as a child, it was only ever visible from the motorway. Seeing it from a little country lane is still a thrill. I have a @gailmyerscough.co.uk print of it! 1122
