A few folk have asked if Bains beach is in Shetland detective series. It does feature in it but Perez house is this one next door. These are Lodberries which are warehouses extending into the sea to make trade with boats easier #Shetland

A quote about HMCS Haida from a dockyard matey in Plymouth in 1944, from James Elliot in @TheSpec, 18 January 2002: "She's been in more fights than any other ship in this harbour and that's saying something. These boys get free beer in every pub in Plymouth tonight..." 🇨🇦

Todd Boehly has brought Chelsea so, so low. (I tend to think Pochettino has actually overachieved with...whatever this "squad" is supposed to be.) #CFC #CarabaoCupFinal
