Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

I don't think I ever went to Forton services, but it was my personal landmark when I was a kid. We saw it every time were going from Edinburgh to Cheshire to visit #NFMum's parents.

‘Chariots, Treasure and Power: Secrets of the Melsonby Hoard’ Fantastic Yorkshire Museum exhibition showcasing some of the 800+ artefacts from the UK’s largest Iron Age metalwork hoard! So many beautifully crafted bronze objects decorated with coral, glass, and enamel! Do visit! 📷 me #Archaeology

My photo collage shows various copper-alloy objects, now green with corrosion, from the Melsonby Iron Age Hoard on display at the Yorkshire Museum in York. Top left: a copper-alloy bridle bit. The metal rod was placed in the ponies mouth and the rings at each end rested on the cheeks Middle left: an ornate copper-alloy finial Bottom left: Decorative horse harness fitting Top right: a view of the so-called ‘Block’. The block is made up of 88 individual artefacts which were threaded together, wrapped in fabric and then buried. Over time the objects have become fused together due to iron corrosion and appear as a large orangey-brown block of corroded metal. Objects in the block include horse harnesses, spearheads, wagon parts, and more! On the wall behind is exhibition signage reading ‘Chariots, Treasure and Power: Secrets of the Melsonby Hoard’ Middle right: Horse harness fitting embellished with coral bleached white by time, but once a vibrant red colour. Bottom right: decorative stylised human face from a copper-alloy wine mixing bowl
