18. I noticed the Paul McCartney plaque in Bermondsey at about the same time - I don’t think it can have been up for long. The cat is part of a touching ensemble of statues called Dr Salter’s Daydream. An earlier version of Dr Salter was stolen for scrap, so I hope it fares better this time.

6 - Not making recycling easy seems to be a common theme around the country; different areas accepting / refusing different things. A plastic bottle I recently used was marked "recycle with cap on," yet on my local authority's web site A to Z of recycling it says to take tops off. I go through the A to Z every so often and swear it changes every time.

22 (or should it be 21?) - I do hope it was the 1973 Westworld. A classic.

(Second take was much better)

23) To be correct Radio 1 relax is a streaming (internet) only station. It is not available on digital over the air radio (DAB)
I think one day all radio and TV services will be streaming only, much cheaper for the broadcaster.
For me it is not "proper" radio.

18 - sculpture and statutes generally leave me cold. But I was genuinely affected by the story behind the group - of which the cat is one of four - and led me to research Ada + Alfred Salter, both very impressive people.

22. Congratulations on watching Evil Under The Sun which I much prefer to Murder On The Orient Express which included Sean Connery. The recent update was pitiful.

26 I thought Julian Clary was the best of the lot (maybe along with Sue Perkins but she's far too good as a regular competitor). Still gently comic but willing to make a stiff insertion to avoid deviation.

3. I found the theme words very easy to guess (and once you had one, the other two were obvious) which made it quicker than normal (for a bank holiday).

27. There were lines in Barking (Barking Park), East Ham (Central Park), Hornchurch (Harrow Lodge Park) and Bexleyheath (Danson Park). There is currently a [sold out for Sunday] line in Romford, Lodge Farm Park rideonrailways.co.uk/hmrc

18 The Bermondsey Cat (Dr Salter’s), I was once struck by the fact there was about five people taking photos of Dr Salter and his Wife, and about thirty people taking photos of the cat.

22 Which Death on the Nile? The 1978 one is very good. The one with David Suchet (2004?) is not so bad. There's a new one with Ken Branagh, but I haven't seen that one.

30. It seems a bit pointless to me getting reduced salt tomato sauce when gammon joints typically contain 2.5% salt.

when I read 16 I thought you must have been out with Geoff, and then I see he's confirmed it ... now I have to work out which video it was

18 - I just rewatched the "No more lonely nights" video, I assume the pub was used for the rooftop scenes which have a great view of the Thames and Tower Bridge.

9 - already feels like it was ages ago.
30 - its the conflicting messages, raspberry cheesecake, low quality scones, but then the reduced-salt ketchup - its like you're mocking your digestive system.

27 - I believe the Barking Park miniature railway plans to reopen this year. It depends on whether they can afford the cost of the cleaning of the coaches after each trip and the provision of hand sanitising stations from the £1 fare. Looking forward to a ride with my 2-year-old grandson.

11. Random encounters with formerly-known people seem to happen (to anyone) more frequently than pure randomness would predict. Is there scope for a scientific study of the phenomenon?

7. That's really nice, congrats!
30. Agree with millie, the salt reduction in reduced salt ketchup is insignificant unless you're drinking it.
6. Bags should be available in shops like over here, where the cost goes towards better, more frequent pick-ups. The entire waste/recycling system in the UK appears to me to be well, rubbish.
21. I do hope he gets more votes than Fox.

18. The ensemble does now consist of four figures, but it wasn't always this way. Unfortunately the original figure of Dr Salter was stolen, so the scene was recreated using a new (not the same) replacement and it was at this time too that the wife was added as the 4th piece.

19. Made another visit to the QEOP today, but still no kingfisher for me. Also got a better view of more of the bird I'd thought last week was a warbler: it was in fact a dunnock.
Found it's actually simpler to get to the Velopark by not going via Clarnico Lane.

Just wanted to leave a quick thank you for these monthly reviews! I really look forward to every installment. One of the few markers of the passage of time in this strange times.

28. The Blossom Garden is complete but "we're keeping it closed for a few weeks to enable the trees, plants and grass to take root."
So, blossomless by the time it opens :(
