Been to Chelsea Flower Show today. Another Gold medal for the Birmingham City Council display. Spectacular.

Of course it was. Thank you. Shame though as that would have given us our first 600 footer...although I am sure one will happen soon enough.

113 metres!!!! Tiny. About time though. Is Regal Tower now dead in the water? Showing on Wikipedia now under unbuilt. I mean that is correct, but no longer proposed.

Just seen it on the granuiad. Fantastic news. Let's paint the town orange. Just to add, the BBC could not help but repeat that the airport is worst for delays by, er, one minute. They are so cute.

It makes bad headlines by shoddy journos, particularly at the BBC, but one minute worse than Manchester and an airport which is, eh, shut. Wow. Underwhelming underwhelming news. Hardly news worthy.

Looks interesting. Hoping they pull it off. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxelgl2lvd2o

Whatever the plane may be, an airline needs to step forward and fly one. At the moment go onto flightradar and see how many fly across the Atlantic from Heathrow or Amsterdam and what market is left. And the transatlantic carriers either do not give to cahoots how people get to the major...

I could smell the kerosene just by watching that. Them were the days. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Brum X. All is progressing well. Southside skies getting very congested. This was on the BBC a few days ago: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-65312566 46 storeys. It is going to look impressive so close to the Octagon...

BRS are bucking the trend but BHX is still strong. 2024 will easy see the return of 12 mppa plus for BHX.

Another major BBC production coming to town. Never watched it myself, but it is good to see the BBC investing in the city. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-65267268

It was. All my focus was on the big triangular thing and not the gnats. Glad you recall it as well.

Thanks Keith. Essex is a big county and I am about 30 miles away from Stansted, but never would have thought we have such varied weather!

Sorry far too young! Of aeroplanes, and off topic, sorry, though, i lived in Watford until was 4 3/4, and I vividly remember when Concorde circled round London for the first time. Came from the east so we all went out the front and a whole street's worth of neighbours rushed though their houses...

What was the reason for the diversions? Weather was pretty good here in Essex.

They got it spot on.

Just passed 58. Mentally still 26!

You are a star Matt. Cheers

I had today off work and kept thinking it is Friday. Senior moment. And that news was from yesterday. Must stop with the fermented juice! Hopefully tomorrow will bear more exciting news!

Is this today's big news? Comment from Mr B of 18 mppa by 2033 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-65122939
