@dresserman This actually works extremely well and has huge benefits for the stores and the colleagues. It's been a game changer.

@dresserman Nothing Christmassy there, just a delicious Finest* dessert 😋

@dresserman Tesco have had automated reductions on loose bakery products for a couple of years. Times vary by format. Such a simple thing, great for the customer and the business.

Five Things All Young People (and adults) Should Know About GCSEs on Results Day.

1. It is not possible for everyone to succeed in their GCSEs. The exam results are referenced against earlier cohorts, meaning that around 30% will get failing results every year. This is built into the system. No matter how hard everyone works, some will fail.

2. You can take GCSEs at any age. Schools require you to take them at age 15/16 because of the league tables. Research shows that those who are older (autumn born) do better on average than those who are younger (summer born) when they take them. Those whose lives have been easier tend to do better in exams. It is not a level playing field.

3. Learning does not 'only count' if you have a GCSE in it. If you are a passionate musician or linguist or artist, this will be much more important in your life than whether you have a GCSE in music or French or art. Don't let an exam result convince you that you are no good at something.

4. GCSEs can be a stepping stone to college but they aren't the only way. It is rare for a college to require more than five or six. Some colleges will take you with no GCSEs. Doing nine or eleven is something some schools insist on but it isn't essential.

5. A GCSE is a measure of how you performed in a particular set of tests at a specific moment in your life. It is not a measure of your worth nor a reflection of your future potential.

Please share if you know a teenager who needs to hear this.

@AlisonMoyet Many happy returns! Very much looking forward to your touring adventure next year!

@AdamHighcliffe Special requirements by individual pupils are considered. The policy was reviewed by a pupil panel 2 years ago and amendments made based on this. Nothing will ever be a perfect fit for every pupil,but as a mum it's much simpler and less stressful, as well as much, much cheaper.

@AdamHighcliffe My sons' school has a basic dress code but allows some leeway. Black trousers are allowed for everyone. White /black formal shirts are accepted. Formal black shorts fine. Jumper/ blazer optional. No badges required, no brands allowed. Only musts: plain black shoes/school tie.

@BBCMorningLive @xandvt Listen to all the advice people give but do things your own way! Put baby down for their naps while they're still awake from the very beginning( if they're calm enough to do so). Don't use a nightlight. Trust your intuition, you know your baby best. Best wishes to you all 👼🍼❤️

@PaolaPerfume @dresserman I agree on this bugbear! In this case it's poorly maintained but not directly on the floor, it's on a MU base/stillage board.

Endometriosis is one of the most painful health conditions which affects more than 1 in 10 women in the world. More needs to be done for this chronic condition.

@Hannah_Giles85 @ffmichelle We're incredibly fortunate to have the choice, the alternative doesn't bear thinking about. Mine were unfortunately both emergencies which saved both our lives each time but were very traumatic. I'm so very grateful for the skill of the teams.

@Hannah_Giles85 @ffmichelle Was it an emergency c section? As these tend not to be serene!

@KTTunstall Every time I look at Kandinsky"s work I see something new, even if very familiar with it.

@pat97404965 @chizzyakudolu This is what I did too. In my experience, secrets are never positive. ❤️

How much of your drink is TAX?

We asked members of the public what they thought the percentage of tax is on a bottle of gin in the UK.

They couldn’t believe the true figure…
