Everyone's crying over what was said at Glastonbury yet the majority of the public can't be bothered to do enough research to see who's doing what. If you don't look into things properly then don't pretend to care.

1964 - The legend #SeanConnery (1930-2020) on the set of Goldfinger (1964) discussing Ian Flemming and the character of #JamesBond before passing it over to Major Boothroyd who explains why the Walter PPK became Bonds weapon of choice.
One of the most awe-inspiring, moving, detailed, and beautiful sculptures I have ever seen rests within #DunfermlineAbbey and Palace in #Dunfermline, #Fife, #Scotland. The monument was erected in 1867 by the widow of Major General the Hon. Robert Bruce. He was an aid and tutor to the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII). The panels depict their journey to the "Holy Land" and the fatal illness that caused his death. His body was brought back and buried in the Abbey. Queen Victoria noticed that the sculpture had nothing to indicate that the General had been connected with the Prince of Wales. So Foley chiselled the Prince of Wales feather on the corner of the pillow on which the General's head is resting. The monument shows that the General was buried with his feet crossed, indicating that he was a crusader.
It's time like this I wonder how the bloody Hell we managed during the Empire. ☀️
Britain's communities are made, kept, or broken by the birth, maintenance, or death of its public houses.

#RIP - The Mitre Pub at 164 #Croydon Road, Anerley, #London, #SE20, which is now currently undergoing a ruthless death, was built in the mid‑Victorian era, to serve the growing suburb of London. Born in roughly the 1860s, the developer claims that (after having left it to rot for decades) that it's structurally unsound. 🙄 As well as this, for a long time, its alleyway was used for criminal activity. So, instead of fixing contemporary issues, they'd rather destory our historically and culturally revlevant
buildings in aid of a new, stale world.
You are currently witnessing the final stages of #Britain's cultural decline.

To come from #London is to spend one's entire life in a state of homesickness despite living life at home.
