local newspapers love clickbait headlines for food reviews

"'Top of Town's new restaurant serves the best Katsu curry I've ever had'"
basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/

'This broccoli was a sensory experience that transcended life as I know it'
basingstokegazette.co.uk/leisu

I now want to eat this magical post-human broccoli, so the headline worked

'A man caught speeding at 66mph in a 40mph zone has avoided disqualification due to "exceptional hardship'

basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/

Obviously, the only comment is someone complaining that the fine is too high for this person who drove at 150% of the speed limit without considering that people who depend on him might suffer as a result of his actions.

A very #Basingstoke headline:-

"Man campaigns to get Wote Street Willy and other landmarks listed as heritage sites"
basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/

Apparently, the "Willy" is a fertility symbol
"Liam is awaiting news from Historic England to find out whether his nominations for the listing of The Church Stone (Wote Street Willy), The Blue Coat Boy statue, Triumphal gates and the family monument outside the United Reformed Church on London Road have been successful."

Yesterday’s @bufferapp posts about seem to have worked fine.

Today should see 3 posts reflecting being issued by the queue.

I quite like the idea that this type of automation can save people time.

It will be especially useful for businesses.

Me personally?

No.

I’m a real human being and I like to just post when I find something interesting. I can understand how this app will be useful to others but, I will remain eccentric, eclectic and erratic with my posts.

More warehouses for #Basingstoke, this time replacing #Sony on Viables Industrial Estate. I'm not sure what the point is, the warehouses that replaced #Motorola don't look to be used, and the warehouses that replaced ITT don't seem to be fully occupied years after they were built. There are warehouses planned for Dummer.

Note the completely inadequate #cycling infrastructure pictured, and remember that the #NCN23 (National Cycle Network) passes through the estate.

How do we stop motorists using the streets of #Basingstoke as a race track (including engine revving at traffic lights) and riding motorbikes and e-motorbikes in parks?

It's snowing in #Basingstoke - this usually leads to panic because #snowmageddon stops the roads from working

One year, the gritting company realised they could still get their payment from sending out their gritting lorries without grit, thus saving fuel and time.
