Interesting to hear @melanie_onn speak against @andyburnham & his honesty about our future re: #EU ‘Grimsby would not like it’ Well, we need more UK growth Mel, so we can continue to support all regions including yours and mine [eg North East Lincs deficit £4k/pers/yr(ONS, 2024)]

This must be a wind up: isn’t Gosport home to lots of people who just might want to wear a poppy to remember all of the fallen from conflicts?

The Manager of Gosport Wetherspoons states its ‘Company policy’ to not allow anyone in with a Remembrance Poppy on as it ‘could be political’. Boycott Wetherspoons.

Well @uhbtrust it took seven calls yesterday over 20m to different numbers before I finally got via the switchboard to dermatology (who were then brilliant). Today using the numbers on a letter and those below over 25 minutes trying there is no answer from pre-op again. 😬

Hi Mark, sorry to heart about the difficult you have faced getting through. If you try 01214245167 or 01214245143 you should be able to get through to a member of the team. Best wishes, Luke

I don’t understand Matt Britten. @BBCTheArchers out of Bham. @paullewismoney binned as @MartinSLewis gets ever more popular. No more you and yours. What next?

How can the BBC invest in a headquarters in Digbeth, yet consider moving The Archers out of Brum? When we secured that investment, losing shows was never part of the plan. After 75 years, it is part of the WM's heritage. The BBC must reconsider. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crpd…

BBC shelves plans for new Archers studio as part of cost-cutting

Cast members on the long-running radio soap are said to be "angry" at plans to move from Birmingham.

You can't make people have a safety culture. Rules don't create it. Behaviour does, and what people see, hear, and get rewarded for shapes it. If that resonates, you're probably closer to a stronger culture than you think.

The sheer pointlessness of phoning @uhbtrust - been trying to get through to anyone in Solihull hospital pre-op for 15m. Phone extension just rings out and switchboard don’t have an email address…

Just had a new @IndesitUK washing machine delivered from @ao on behalf of @DandG_Global. The two delivery guys, Ansley and Chris, were thorough and quick. They are self employed (as is the modern way) but very good ambassadors for all three brands!

Huge mention to @Hoover_UK for the European made washing machine that lasted our family of four sixteen years, and only failed due to chassis rust rather than for any other reason. If only I had treated it with @Lanoguard !!

I should say, @Hoover_UK , that the tumble dryer is still going strong, and is maintained by under a @DandG_Global agreement (but to be clear it’s only ever needs one part in 16 years!)

@CornwallCouncil may we please have some 20mph repeater signs on Trewirgie Hill, Coach Lane, & West Trewirgie Road please? Drivers coming from Falmouth Toad use us as a cut through, and many assume it’s a 30 limit. Dangerous for the kids attending @Trewirgieinf @TrewirgieJnrs

A rest centre is open at All Saints’ Church, Killigrew Street, Falmouth, for anyone affected by the evacuation who needs somewhere to go. The evacuation is underway, with emergency services supporting residents in the affected area. Cllr Thalia Marrington has this update.

I seem to average one delay repay a week with @LNRailway. Today’s 1746 train to Crewe which seems to be on time and working well will be cancelled at Rugby and travel empty to Crewe. I mean, why?

In 1981 eight unimaginably brave souls put to sea in murderous conditions because a call went out. They sought neither reward nor praise. They were @RNLI and they were the best of their community. Support your local lifeboat

The fish and chip shop will soon be dead.
Rob Boyd, Esq
@AvonandsomerRobAug 28
It's Friday and that means only one thing - Fish & Chips! Or does it? My local chippy is averagely priced, and a Cod, chips & peas will cost you an eye-watering £15.40, the Cod doing most of the heavy lifting with a £9.60 price tag. £62 for a family of four to have what was always a cheap Friday takeaway that you'd always relish, is starting to look unsustainable. We are now at the stage where many people downgrade to sausage & chips at around half the price, or simply don't visit the chip shop at all. Interested to hear how prices have affected your takeaway habits..
