🚒 We are carrying out a training exercise today in Brassington.

Please don't be alarmed if you see a large fire service presence in the area.

Our crews train regularly to ensure they are always ready when you need us most 💪

NI only paid on earnings and not once you reach state pension age. Unearned income at any age exempt and if dividends tax rate lower too!

@metofficeEMids YEL link is for ICE in WMids & Wales - not EM?

Halfway - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

Evidently, little pride in our national emblem! These flags need sorting.

So, how does one "check the website for updates" when said site (and app) is inaccessible?

Sympathy with the desk staff handling our attempts to obtain service, but senior management needs to engage and communicate with the Members.

Couple with £5.25m mortgage in difficulties, reports Telegraph and claims they are middle class! https://t.co/ElBwNZV2Ce

With IMPORTANT correction. Woking Council has debts of £1.9bn and spending power of just £14m (!) - staggering recklessness. Which is why the government has today appointed commissioners to run the council. This was a Tory Council when the unsustainable liabilities were taken on. The Levelling Up Dept and minister Lee Rowley considers “that this is, based on current evidence, the most challenging financial position of any local authority in England”.

It's supposedly an automatic issue for officers (Maj & above) if I recall correctly. However, I retired last July and have yet to see either a Valedictory or a Veteran ID Card. My wife left 5 years ago and has seen nothing. So, 82 years and not even a note!

@HiveHelper After some five hours from your initial failure notice, an authoritative update would be appreciated. TYIA.

@LakesWeather Well done, the FTA Team! I don't mind Darwin being proved correct, but I do have issues with others (especially MRT) being put at risk when it all, inevitably, goes wrong.

👑 The Queen Consort’s new cypher is made of up of Her Majesty’s monogram (‘C’ for Camilla, and ‘R’ for Regina, Latin for Queen) and a crown. 

The cypher will be used on official correspondence.

@DHLParcelUK Delivered 1057 - 2 hrs later than DHL advised delivery window so all morning lost waiting on a false delivery promise. "Sorry, we appear to be running late." on the Tracker is of no use whatsoever when managing time.
"Other carriers are available"!

[Bob Ward @BobWardUK]

@DHLParcelUK #PoorService "Your parcel is due to be delivered on Tuesday 20th September 2022 between 07:53 and 08:53". Now 1053: no delivery, no online update, no contact. High opportunity cost waiting for DHL arrival.
@TanyaBatteries Great service - let down by carrier info.
