  • A very recognisable tune echoing up the stairs means someone’s watching his Christmas Marple boxset early when I have to work 😦 #
  • @willhowells the Hickson version. I’m not sure I’d recognise the theme of the McEwan version. #
  • @jochristiesmith congrats on your elevation to chairpersonship #
  • @thoroughlygood treat youself – do both! 🙂 #
  • @jochristiesmith I’m just about to complete 3 years as chair of Nottm Lib Dems. Was great – with help of a good team who do all the work. #
