This is good news. The Chesham Arms and The Tiger have both reopened locally in recent years and the area is better for it.

I tried (and failed) to connect with ‘the 52%’
Somehow, midway through the wormhole of Twitter surfing a found a post by a Brexiteer with a misspelling of ‘Britannia’
@SkipLicker Rule Brittania!!

I've not been the most outspoken critic of the referendum, but I do think that if you're going to be so RULE BRITANNIA then you should at least be able to spell it right. I pointed this out in a slightly petty way, but still, spellcheck is so ubiquitous these days that such nonsense can easily be avoided.
What followed was a weird exchange which I have embedded below. Some observations...
1. The loud and aggressive response, including a random guy (not tagged in the original post) calling me a c*nt.
2. The use of memes and odd images to make opaque points.
3. Like a lot of shouty people on Twitter they don't use their own picture for their profile.
4. I thought I had actually managed to get some engagement. I maintain that I am massively up for a game of Pictionary with both/either of these two people. I will try and follow this up as it would be great to learn a little more about their opinions, their anger and why they use Twitter in the way they do.
5. Yes I am a pedant
My 1st response
This is how Brexit Britain now spells Britannia https://t.co/6VvCV5N3Kf

@producerchris Tsk. 'If I were', in fact. Subjunctive mood. Please be more careful. https://t.co/LjYHT7RHgn @Phoenixarised

The Bugle is back
After struggling to get a regular show together we’ve gone through a bit of a makeover and relaunched with Andy and a collection of co-hosts. Also we’ve joined a US based network called Radiotopia. It’s an amazing stable of podcasts and it’s a thrill to be back, and to be a part of a group. There are some great shows worth catching, see them here: https://www.radiotopia.fm/

The Bugle is back!! It was a lot of fun recording together again, even with little time to do much prep they riff off each other so easily and can handle any topical item.

I am looking after the launch of this (and will be exec producer going forward). Can't wait, Jason is a very funny man and a really good presenter.

On Andrews Road in Hackney. A stretch from the canal around Broadway Market up to Hackney Wick has had great work for a number of years now.

I wrote some jokes for Jon Snow...
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
Next up on our Greatest Hits, Jon Snow tells jokes.
