It was a challenge but I have finally passed my 60WPM to become a qualified journalist. Thank you Carolyn and Sue at @NCTJDarlington for all the support. Dreams do come true @NCTJ_news

I'm in the market for a new cap. @crawleytown do you supply them and if not, are there any future plans to provide them?

@crawleytown Come on you Reds!

[Ellis Peters @EllisPLocal]

Despite that, it was a funny read.

[Ellis Peters @EllisPLocal]

I should have asked for your book @gillinghamjoe after Christmas as it’s half price @Waterstones now.

[Ellis Peters @EllisPLocal]

@gillinghamjoe just watched a clip of you from Derek and your character mentions Crawley. As a born and bred Crawleyite, whats your take on the town? Many people think it’s just Gatwick. Cheers.

@NikkiJeffery1 Thanks Nikki. Hope you are doing well. It's the boredom and the slowly decreasing bank balance that is difficult. You even have to apply to volunteer now. I've applied for about 90 something jobs since August and still no luck.

@journalism_news A good way to protect regional news is to fund more job roles at local newspapers. News can’t be reported if there are no journalists.

@JodyyDC Hi Jody, I’ve just checked my Newsquest’s recruitment portal and it still says that my application is ‘in progress’. Is this still the case? Cheers, Ellis

[Ellis Peters @EllisPLocal]

@JodyyDC Hi there, I’ve applied for the Sussex role but I haven’t heard anything back as of yet. Please could I get an update? Thanks

@employcrawley @crawleybc Any jobs going for a out of work, ex-Crawley Observer reporter. I’ve had no luck in the South East.

[Ellis Peters @EllisPLocal]

@anon_opin Also when I worked in local news, people were more interested in what new food chain was coming to town rather then hard news.

[Ellis Peters @EllisPLocal]

@anon_opin People don't want to pay for news anymore, hence why there is a decline.

@guardianeco This applies to the UK job market as I seem to get rejected from jobs because I don't drive, even though there is a climate crisis and I can get anywhere with public transport.

@MCNeilMunday Thanks Neil, it’s on my agenda to email you today. Kind regards, Ellis

@rickygervais just seen some clips of you boxing from the early 2000s. You should put the gloves back on and give these influencers a run for their money.
