#OnThisDay in 1979 @SalisburyFC played Millwall in the FA Cup
The 23rd of November is Saint Clements Day
Until the 1850s, Salisbury had a St Clements Church near the railway station (hence ‘Churchfields’)
It was replaced by the nearby St Pauls
Clement was a first century Pope
As far as I know he had nothing to do with oranges or lemons
Saint Clements churchyard is now the @AmazeBee Secret Garden
#OnThisDay in 1830 Swing Rioters destroyed a threshing machine at Bishop’s Down Farm, Salisbury
They then marched on Salisbury. The Riot Act was read & many arrested
100s of local people were tried in special courts in Salisbury and 93 (?) were deported
#OnThisDay in 1984 New Model Army (@officialnma) played at Salisbury Technical College

I always enjoy @andrewrawnsley’s turn of phrase
“The cabal of Brexit ultras are the men who put the cock into peacocking.”
If Richard had been musical too they could have called themselves ‘the Osmans’
#TodayILearned that Richard Osman off of Pointless is a brother of Matt (?) Osman out of Suede
And vice versa

#OnThisDay in 1999 Morrissey played at @CityHallSalis
#OnThisDay in 1850, in Salisbury, “A Pope with Cardinals and twelve Bishops was burned in effigy, and the “uncouth pageant” (which was got up by private subscription) had a picturesque effect”
“The wealth we produce is being accumulated by our boss – the modern world’s richest man – while our wages barely keep us afloat”
