Not a single mention of partners/wives/family or the people who do the silent, hidden labour so that 'you' can be brilliant.

St Albans store: not a single womens' shoe on display. When I enquired, a sales assistant informed me that the shoes were 'everywhere'. They were not. Trainers, boots were 'everywhere' but not a single shoe. First and last visit. London doesn't disappoint. @schuhHELP @schuh
Someone said, '6,7' and no-one reacted. My ears perked up, and then I remembered that I was in a room full of adults 🙃 Happy Half Term!

A rhyme from one of my aspiring poets. Usually, the topic is social or personal but today it was me.

@Ryanair Horrific experience for 25+ 'random' passengers flying from Dublin to Luton. Charged for oversized bags that were literally the same as the 1 they arrived with. People of certain ethnicity were also targeted. Others w/ the same size allowance were let through. Disgrace.

@BritishGasHelp @BritishGas Kindly stop spamming me with incorrect, inaccurate price increases: three in the space of an hour is ridiculous and yes, I've already contacted you regarding this.

'Estimates are that mentorship and coaching...for new teachers reduce teacher dropouts in their first 3 years by 50%, particularly in schools where the students are hardest to teach...mentorship and coaching programs markedly increase the novice’s satisfaction...' Berliner, 2004

Student led BHM assembly: 8 'Black' British or African/Caribbean (with British links) historical figures & groups shared and celebrated.
*This* is BHM in Britain, not the same (important) American figures lazily referenced. All students need this exposure: relevant and localised

Just realised that I have a signed copy... 🫢😭 @CCriadoPerez
I purchased this back in 2022 and only started reading 📚 it this month in 2023 due to it being on the 'to read' pile.
Informative, empowering and what a beautiful surprise 🥰

@hertscc Hi, when will you be replacing the lights/bulbs on the public footpath that leads to Potters Bar Station/car park? It is incredibly dangerous for local people and commuters, especially when it is dark by 6pm and nigh impossible to see the path or other pedestrians.

With ECTs passing their induction this week: what do you wish you had known before you started as an ECT?
