@DVSAgovuk Also apparently my wife will have to wait 10 days to get an answer to this?

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

@DVSAgovuk can you tell me why my daughter has to wait almost 5 weeks for the first available theory test date due to her dyslexia compared to those who need a standard test? Which I'm told is about 2 weeks??

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

@DVSAgovuk My wife has already emailed you, the facts are this... We have to wait from the 29th March till today to be told of available tests whereas someone without additional needs can log on and book a test straight away. Plainly this is discrimination with us having to wait extra time.

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

@liam_mearns Well earned to be where you are! Keep up the great work!

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

Exciting times for the community finding the right strategic direction to move forward. 🙂

M it's only a sign application so far!

@SGNgas @enchantforest @BEAR_Scotland @transcotland @trafficscotland @PerthandKinross Can I suggest you make a donation to the communities in the area for the economic damage you have done. I'd suggest something close to £10mil as a starting point. Your statement does little to instil confidence!

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

@trafficscotland @SGNgas When you say over 60mi s do you mean 2 or 3 hours like yesterday?

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

@trafficscotland @NWTrunkRoads Your taking the piss now! 2 to 3hr delay right now and your site says no delays. Get a grip and publish the actual delays!

Between taskings we briefly muse on why we have to explain the @highlandpict logo colour scheme to folks not working in the Highlands of Scotland…#aurora #prehospitalcareunderlights

@FRSWithMel Your a long way from home! Up a big mountain!

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

@heeralewijn It's started to pass its best, this was 2 weeks ago! So lucky to live here 😊

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

Decided to have quality time with Jura instead of updating LinkedIn today, getting my priorities right. Plenty of time for the duller tasks in life! 😊

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

@jbrannan23 So true, a big frustration is not being able to enable the development of others at the moment. Hard in some organisations to choose those around you though. Lots of old school managers and not enough leaders these days. Important to have a support network away from work 😊

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

@Caramelbunny6 Hope you're keeping well 😊 Thanks, it just looks long winded, if I try and cut it, then do you miss essential info?! Next task will be to update LinkedIn, as that is over a decade out of date! Think that will wait for another day though!

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

Today's challenge.... how do you fit nearly 30 years of hard graft, 2 decades of emergency service work, sports national team coach / manager, a successful ICT consultancy, lots of boards and councillor work into a CV without it being incredibly verbose???

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

@Gordy1967 It is Gordy, hope you are well, must get a catch up one day! Give us a shout if you're ever passing this way!

[Al Dargie @Al_Dargie]

Together we raised thousands for charity, shed a tear on Sat when I heard this. Here charity work was a tiny portion of who Margaret was, an incredibly generous, supportive and loving person. A huge loss for all who knew and loved her.

[Fire Fighters Charity @firefighters999]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague Margaret on Saturday, 12th August. We offer our condolences to all her family, friends and colleagues.

[Lorraine Allan @lorraineallan6]

Thanks to Alan at Aviemore station @ScotRail for his concern and kindness to my daughter and friends after their friend took I’ll and had to go to hosp (ok and home now). Also thanks to Aviemore @Tesco for their help. A small act of kindness makes a big difference. Thank you.
