Tonight I was joined by Paul for one of those classic Fockham Hall rambles where a simple odd-one-out quiz about Robin Hood, the Krays, the mafia and local government opened the floodgates to a much bigger conversation. We wandered through muggy weather, swearing station lifts, old pubs, Nottingham lore, AI, dictionaries, telepathy, disappearing town life and the ways modern Britain seems to have lost both its confidence and its character.From there we dug into the long shadow of 9/11, the theories and books that shaped people’s thinking after it, and how numerology, pattern-recognition and old alternative media communities influenced later scepticism during Covid and beyond. We also veered into Victorian engineering, Joseph Bazalgette’s sewer system, methane lamps, LED street lights, electric cars, hard drives, music, mining towns and the strange state of places like Harlow, Luton and Coalville. Serious at times, daft at others, it was very much an evening of connecting dots, swapping stories and, as ever, trying to have a bloody good laugh along the way.Food For Thought Radio: https://www.fftradio.com/Fockham Hall: https://www.fftradio.com/shows/fockham-hall/Eric Von Essex: https://www.fftradio.com/djs/eric-von-essex/Paul English: https://www.fftradio.com/shows/paul-english/Paul English Live: https://paulenglishlive.com/Sunday Long Live Radio: https://sundaylongliveradio.locals.com/landing/videoRea Bow: https://linktr.ee/reabowBases Actual: https://www.fftradio.com/shows/bases-actual/Miles Johnston: https://www.fftradio.com/djs/miles-johnston/BASES TV: https://www.basestv.com/The Merry Men: https://www.fftradio.com/shows/the-merry-men/Robin Hood on FFT: https://www.fftradio.com/djs/robin-hood/Where Did the Towers Go? by Dr Judy Wood: https://www.wheredidthetowersgo.com/Richplanet / Richard D.
