It’s a shame that almost all the people in this photo won’t be returning after the way they have been treated.

Waiting to check into @hubhotels in Covent Garden. So-called Smart tech is not working so no one can get in. Feeling for the staff who are left dealing with angry customers. @premierinn

Looking for to taking my 89-yr-old mum to see @BBillyPlay for her Xmas gift next week. She lived next door to the Tallon’s in Coventry and followed his royal career. Hope she copes and can stop laughing. @dukeofyorksLDN @MichaelGrandage @TheRealLukevans #PenelopeWilton

This week, we were delighted to be a part of Bristol Careers Day at University West of England (UWE), working alongside @Enginuity_Org to promote career pathways in engineering for young people. #engineering #skillsgap #UWE

Apparently @HSBC_UK has told @NationalGrid it must make cheques payable to people adding the word "only" after the payee name for security. But HSBC then won't accept the cheque because it now doesn't match the payee name. What fun!

Quick work 👀
I've calculated the actual pay decrease when you take into account current inflation rates (not forecasted!)

Dr @NigelCostley is here to present the award. The recipients of this award have all held positions as Somerset Schools Convenors at some point during the last year. When schools were mandated to open they were the ones supporting members with guidance and advice. #USWGA22

I'd love to power my adventure this April with the Ribble bike I ordered in October. But I now can't get it until May at the earliest and I can't get a human to talk to me about it! Common Ribble you can do better.
Power your adventure this April. fal.cn/3lYaM Delivering a super-smooth and controlled power assistance at the press of a button, when you need it most. Select the right one for how you feel or the terrain ahead.
I was privileged to sit with him on a panel, supporting Polish workers to know their employment rights, thanks to the brillaint work of @NigelCostley!

They had to have the party in No 10 because they couldn't find a local brewery.
The area has been plagued by in-fighting since Thatcher set up 4 authorities with conflicting interests. Add WECA and LEP. Who oversees skills for care workers? Who plans new bus routes? Who runs schools? Democracy is diminshed when voters don’t know who is responsible for what.

If you want to speak to Bristol, who are you gonna call? The answer has to be better than a committee of warring councillors.

Spoke with a local fish shop/restaurant, forced to temporarily close because it can't get staff. With a smokery it employs some 250 people and it is up to 60 short. It's a good employer and a great local outlet. #BrexitBritain
