@CarolineLucas @TheGreenParty @carla_denyer @AdrianRamsay @sianberry @EllieChowns Hi Caroline
This is a desperation tweet…I have tried emailing the Green Party and contacting you on Facebook …unsuccessfully so far…I want to ask a favour…..to help the Walking the Talk group I run in Brighton…, a no reply would do my head in [email protected]

@finderskeeperss @a_thomas1958 @BFBCC @DerbyshireCCC Pretty certain we didn’t stop

@stephenjones9 Finn Baxter? I’d heard the Harlequins prop was promising…,

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@Davidmp66 @a_thomas1958 My Dad, Tony (A F) Hignell did play 1 first class match.1947 for Glos against Cambridge University, where he was studying ( Glos obviously saving on exes ..nothing changes!) My great uncle SR Hignell also played one “first class” match Gentlemen of India vs Oxford Authentics

@Lucy_Webster_ @SW_Help Huge apologies….as you all pointed out I should not have posted in any way diminished Lucy’s unfortunate experience…that was furthest away from my intentions…it was inappropriate . Best wishes Alastair

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@Lucy_Webster_ @SW_Help But, credit where credit’s due, my most recent trip to Twickenham could not have smoother, station staff could not have been more helpful…and all this while 82000 attende the rugby match

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@JudyMurray Track down You Tube “ Face Time with my Mum” …

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@swbale951 @johnwesterby Agreed

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@balders2 And, as Monty Python’ s Four Yorkshiremen would say.,:”try telling that to the youngsters these days….and they won’t believe you!”

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@Tanni_GT Absolutely…count me I

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@Sonjamclaughlan A fair point but you need to get your facts straight….England’s female cricketers have played at Lords….led by Racel Hayhoe Fljnt….second cricketer out Enid Bakewell

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@Tanni_GT @chilternrailway Too many unforgivable lapses/ oversights/mistakes by companies paying lip service to DDA while stonewalling in the hope that we’ll go away or ignoring us. How can we Co-ordinate/ use the strength of numbers/persuade/force providers to take us seriously? RAMP IT UP BRITAIN!

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@ManOnTheMic60 Happy Birthday Tithers….always a joy… Higgy

The Full story

On a full Saturday train from Hammersmith to Kings Cross, destination Barking.

Driver announces repeatedly and clearly at Paddington that train is terminating at Edgeware Road but passengers can change to a waiting train. 1/?

[Alastair Hignell @alastairhignell]

@stellamills__ Absolutely not…power is just one element in goal kicking….the Red Roses have mastered all the skills required to play brilliant rugby…this won’t be beyond them
