@archer_rs@marksandspencer Ladies toilets in Oxford St Selfridges in the 1990s. Rather over made up, well dressed, but obvious man, exiting the locked cubicle, was politely ignored until he left. Then someone said loudly, to some amusement, 'wow, great frock, wonder where he bought it?'
@EastTNMama Put 'we' into the sentence instead, my husband and I went, we went. Try 'us', my husband and me went, us went is wrong. If you can use 'we' it's I, if you can use 'us' it's me. It happened to my husband and me it happened to us.
So depressing. Another case of 'protected land' only being protected untill the Sec of State decides otherwise on 'economic grounds' as in The Wrekin Forest
@TheBritLad Hypocrisy off the scale here,two non doms, complaining how the taxes they don't pay are spent on immigrants (wrongly as immigrants can't claim those benefits). They themselves are immigrants to Monarco. Also running a footie team depending on er, immigrants

@Heccles94 Many kids I taught were bilingual, some were trilingual. At school they bested us natives at learning another European language to add to their fluent English. Some learnt Arabic at the mosque. I thought it a UK asset; you can buy in any language, sell best in the local one.
@BoringBiz_ 50% of UK's energy comes from wind, solar, hydro. 15% nuclear. Could get more by allowing more onshore wind instead of coastal. Less reliance on oil producers holding you to ransom, more self sufficiecy in energy is good, even if you don't believe in the 'green' benefits
Walking across one of our local open, green, wooded spaces in Telford, got talking to an army veteran. Told me he had PTS, tried to visit each day just to wander, enjoy peace & listen to the birds, said it kept him sane. Each area to walk is precious to someone in their own way.
I keep trying to attract the attention of ministers who enjoy walking, to get them to take action for access https://t.co/FiuINamwVd @RamblersGB@openspacessoc
Here we go! #LiteraryAdventCalendar Day 1, and it's one of my all-time favourites: journalist Lynn Barber attempts to interview Margaret, Duchess of Argyll, (ultra posh, with a scandalous past) about her book on dinner parties.
@DonnaLouise1212 When taxes are raised to pay for taking back social care for kids & the elderly from private profiteering, returning it to public sector again, or we collectively pool the risks by social insurance. Most vote against this so we are to blame for letting it continue.
