@AudreySuffolk It's obvious why AirBnB have had to stipulate that hosts can no longer demand this where they've already mandated a cleaning fee. (To be implemented, iirc - some time this November or end of it.)

@mgtmccartney Is this where you express your disappointment to a family chat group and somebody rectifies this state of affairs for you?

[Evidence Matters @EvidenceMatters]

@jimgthornton @theveindoc Agreed. It's truly extraordinary that we're more than a quarter of the way through the 21st century and we're still accepting non-evaluated, poorly evidence-based interventions.

@Nettleshippy Treacle toffee will also hush the mouths of any complainers in the vicinity.

@LucyGoBag I've still to have any communication from the affected finance institutions.
I should be used to it but it feels as if coherent crisis comms may as well not exist.

@AndrewYang What precautions do you suggest an individual citizen can take that will make a difference to them, their loved ones, communities, and neighbourhood?

@colinrtalbot It's as if the NHS hasn't fully understood the new Royal Mail system and its impact on the delivery of 2nd class post that had already been downgraded as a KPI.

@austin_denteh @emollick Agreed. I very clearly set out what I have reviewed and haven't within a paper. Are my reviews fully comprehensive? No. I review within my specialism.

[Evidence Matters @EvidenceMatters]

@gruntdoc @MickeyBlowtorch Impressive! I'm sure you have a backstory to it.

[Evidence Matters @EvidenceMatters]

@LucyGoBag I have a relative who was fortunate to make it out of the King's Cross Fire.
I have a visceral reaction to crowds like this in a station.

[Margaret McCartney @mgtmccartney]

what I would like is for someone with programming skills to make a bit of software to search the internet for GMC registered drs making these sort complaints and report, as well as ASA. let me know if you have these very particular skills and are in need of a thankless task

[Evidence Matters @EvidenceMatters]

@DrSdeG Agreed. And roast whole celeriac is a thing of joy.

@aakashgupta Anybody else getting dominant vibes of Joe 90's glasses? Similar cognitive prosthesis and Most Special Agent energy.

@HeldinEU @sumingkhoo Actual cinnamon (as in Ceylon) rather than cassia (which is what passes for cinnamon in places like the US)?

@HeldinEU Doctor to me: [X] is looking particularly frail today. It seems like being 80 is finally catching up to him.
Me (accompanying said man to an appt): He's looking frail because today he fell off the garage roof he was re-felting and compounded it by shinning up an apple tree.

@CorianderSoap @DrSdeG @YvetteCooperMP According to wikipedia, it's gained in popularity since the 1990s, influenced by the US usage in multinational firms.

@HeldinEU Joints have remarkable powers of communication when it comes to displaying dissatisfaction with local management.

[Evidence Matters @EvidenceMatters]

@HeldinEU I had a random pop-up over the word "badge" so for a brief, exciting moment I was ??? And, "What!"

[Evidence Matters @EvidenceMatters]

@amcarmichaelMP Utterly delightful. A remote greeting to them from me.

@Fat_Jacques I once read an utterly delightful thread about traybakes. It inevitably got onto the near cult status of fives and the traybake in NI and visits to garden centres for scones (different animal to scones in England), traybakes and tea.
