@dannyfardell1 You know the face that kids make when someone is overinflating a balloon? Add to that a slack jaw & that's my reaction (can't find an emoji for that) Bloody hell Dan: need to get that down mate.
10 days ago I sent Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt a letter (below) asking him to postpone the govt's 20% increase in energy bills on 1 April.
Since, SEVENTY major charities (below), & the energy industry trade body have signed up to support the letter.

Ian Morris (@IanMorrisJump) and I saw this unusually dark-headed LBBG on Old Moor's Mere on Dec 1st. Ringed in Smauget, Norway -some 978km away- it's 4cy+ and male. It was also seen at Old Moor in September. @RSPB_OldMoor@Barnsleybsg@barnsley_nats
@kajet@Barnsleybsg@RSPB_OldMoor That's sad news indeed. I will remember his infectious enthusiasm for all nature and for his joyful chuckle when watching everything from damselflies to marsh harriers at Old Moor.
