Amazing to see so many people out playing Beat the Street in Swindon (https://beatthestreet.me/swindon). People are being so friendly and helpful. Special shout out to drivers who are giving families loads of time and space to cross busy roads. đđđ

Wondering if there’s a standard way to validate a UK town name.
Remembering the existence of “Westward Ho!” with the official apostrophe.

Expanding on some Tweets from the other day⌠âCharging up the SchoolBotâ gives more detail on recent updates, says âYeah, thereâs nothing difficult going hereâ, shrugs its shoulders, and walks away.
