This is the biggest long shot of my life. But I simply have to try. Please, please share this. You just never know what might happen 🙏🏻 Can you possibly help @Se_Railway @RingGo_parking @kent_police & let me know what forms to fill in please. I’d be so very grateful.

The @metpoliceuk is so far from fit for purpose it’s terrifying. The heavy-handed and totally disproportionate treatment this woman received (in front of her distressed and bewildered young son) was for suspected bus fare evasion, to the tune of £1.75 1/2

I was accused by your manager here of “clearly having had a drink” rather than interpreting my behaviour to do with fear, anxiety and my neurodiversity. – at Paddington, London

15 yrs ago, while hiking on my own, I was violently assaulted & raped. Every anniversary, I go for a solo hike to remind myself I can still do it, that there is great beauty to be found, even after trauma. Here’s today’s hike. And my essay I always post 👉tinyurl.com/482k67e9

Dear @thetrainline, my son bought a ticket for £68.59 via your app to get home for Easter, but as purchase never showed up on app (but does on his bank statement) he was charged £84 for a single by ticket collector. He'll need to pay that again on way back. Can you refund him?

Dear Readers, I was so enlivened by your responses to my previous thread in which I asked you to write me a story that I have decided to host a writing competition. It will be held on my Substack. open.substack.com/pub/hanifk…

In 2009, a lady came to a conference we had at Hampton Court, about the life of Henry VIII. She sat quietly at the back making notes. She was reputed to be a novelist. I did not know then that a goddess was walking among us.

A British Ukrainian friend asked me to find a printer in Kyiv to print a train ticket for her Mum so she can get out. I walked across town to the printer, then to Mum. She does not know if she can enter UK. British Government: pull your finger out. Help Ukraine's refugees.
