@Aberdeenshire do you have an email address for venue bookings (Wyness Hall specifically?) I'm trying to sort something but do not have a work phone so cannot call. Thanks!
This Sat 24th Feb will be The Console's last show! Working with @ScalaRadio has been an amazing ride - thank you to everyone who's listened, supported, shared great music with us, & a massive thanks to the whole team at Scala for welcoming me into the family 🎶🎧🎙️💛

@trafficscotland@SWTrunkRoads Can we get an official update on this? Last update said one lane reopened but its clearly had to be closed again as we have been stationary for nearly 30 mins. The tailbacks must be huge due partly due to the lack of communication. Many of us would have diverted.
Love a meeting outside of the office! The location for our development meeting yesterday, a charity in Fife called Siblings Reunited. So interesting to hear the stories about the work they do and the difference they make to families.
So it's official, I have left Scottish Cycling after 8 years and today started a new role with Adoption UK Scotland! Excited for a new challange being part of a team delivering a pilot project for kinship families in four different local authorities.
If you are called by a scammer and asked to press a button (eg press 1 to...) it is impossible for you to be charged a premium rate call.
Many said they were worried about this, having had similar calls to the HMRC scam one I tweeted about yesterday. So I wanted to clear it up (and I've double checked with Ofgem).
However if you call them, or if you click to call back after they've left a voicemail or from a missed call, you may be charged a premium rate. So the best thing if you're in any doubt is exercise caution and not engage.
Frankly anyone calling you out of the blue to tell you you must take urgent or secret financial (or tech) action is almost certainly a criminal scammer (common ones are from HMRC, Microsoft, delivery firms, NHS). Be very wary.
Any reputable organisation will have a way you can contact them (find their number independently, don't use one from the potential scam call) to check if the call is real, if you're worried.
These people are clever, nasty, conscience-less criminals who prey on inattention, fear and vulnerability. The sooner laws are tightened to stop them having access to mass calling, and social media sites, the better.
I had a very vivid nightmare where I woke up feeling immense shame... I'd put the brown bin and glass box out instead of the grey and blue bins. Such a "grown up" problems dream!
