There was one too on Tudor House’s facebook page which I still cannot link.

Anyway. Found this site which has some lovely old paintings of Southampton - not sure if it’s been shared before.

Soz mate, was that you? Thought I’d managed to sort it myself by my usual method of closing my eyes and randomly clicking on the link and then closing the thread & assuming it’ll all be fine

:lou_wink_2:

No worries :lou_lol:

A normal link like that you just copy the webpage address and paste it into the paper clip insert/edit link thingy above.

Youtube videos you can just paste the address directly into this chat box.

To copy tweets from Twitterererer use the blue bird symbol above to paste into.

HTH.
