Please can people stop using the words 'reach out', 'reaching out' unless you're one of the Four Tops. You can just say 'I'm getting in touch'. Thank you #FourTops #ReachOut

@STVNews Why? That's ridiculous.

The crew have all the best views. Euan, Able Seafarer took this amazing photo from POLE STAR while on watch on Saturday night.

Seals on the helipad meant the helicopter couldn’t land until the seals were safely back in the water.

The Bell Rock is the world’s oldest working sea washed lighthouse

@Mellor76 A week later I'm just getting over it and yes it's shite! Did two covid tests, both negative. Could be flu? Hope you feel better soon.

[Fiona Holmes @FionaHolmes]

@AvantiWestCoast Hi Kim. They were at the entrance/ticket office and around platform 1. They were just lovely. I was there for ages due to cancelled @TPExpressTrains from Edinburgh to Oxenholme 😕

[Fiona Holmes @FionaHolmes]

I don't know if they'll see this but I want to say a massive thank you to the women working @AvantiWestCoast #PenrithStation. Customer service at its best 😍 #penrith #trains

[Fiona Holmes @FionaHolmes]

@guardian Today, attempting to travel from Edinburgh to Oxenholme it's rubbish. Would have been quicker if Thomas the Tank engine had stopped by to pick me up 🚂
