Hopefully informatitive postings about bees and sometimes my four legged furry and sometimes gobby friend, Mango.

@QcWynter It is surprising that the road signs we take for granted which we see everyday, including the typeface, were created by Margaret Calvert. She is not celebrated enough for her impact to society.

I would put a bet on a man came up with this idea.

[ERA @EastRenAsks]

@LoveWestLothian had a special period toilet in their school and felt this was acceptable

They'd have been as well making the girls wear a red armband

Somehow this special period toilet was also gender neutral, for wee boys who have periods? What on earth?

@_lliesl_ @JohnSwinney The single discount is a rip off, should be at least half if not less.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

@QcWynter The joys of beekeeping. You become acutely aware of the time of the year & type of flora that is available to forage as well as the required weather patterns for that forage to flourish.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

@kateward11 @loveradio3 @AudreySuffolk @JuliaHB1 Cant ban recognised national dress because of an horrid incident with an imported religion. That is vandalism & steralisation towards the UKs own culture.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

@ThatJohnJones @colinrtalbot Why would you criminalise national dress in England and Wales? There is an exemption UK wide for national dress.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

@FcNoise @ThatJohnJones @colinrtalbot Yes often they are or a fixed hilt into a sheath, or wooden. You however can still purchase metal ones but highly ineffective for anything. But point is a national cultural dress dagger has tighter regulations than an imported religion’s dagger.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

@ThatJohnJones @colinrtalbot Scottish people are allowed to wear the skene dhu in England. It is a discussion for everyone.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

There a far stricter laws about the skene dhu, part of national dress, in terms of blade size & when it can be worn compared to the Kirpan. Skene dhu’s are often imitation rather than a proper dagger.

[Prof Colin Talbot (rerum cognoscere causas) @colinrtalbot]

For those proposing banning the Sikh kirkpan on the basis of “one rule for all”.

Would that also not apply to the Scottish sgian dubh worn in a sock as part of traditional Highland dress? It’s also exempt but for cultural not religious reasons.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

Sensible words.

Everyone matters.
Henry Nowak matters.

@KonstantinKisin @theresa_may Framing is slightly off in regards to jobs as it would hide the very real decimation of the Oil&Gas industry in the UK via net zero policy. It would also hide the political claim of re-skilling O&G workers into “green jobs” which hasn't happened as was touted.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

@TheGriftReport I suspect this will be classed as national infrastructure thus certain planning constraints will be lifted such as hedgerow & tree protection. The noise aspect will get some hearing but again national infrastructure argument will likely prevail.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

I frequently go un-ushered to the lavatory, where pray tell should I hire these people to ensure correct identification on a man in a womens dress?

[Alan Calderwood @calderwa]

@DCGillespie_PhD @joannaccherry It's not a popular idea, but the old system of analysis by 2 or more qualified psychiatrists, along with a shortened real life test before you can obtain a GRC. This will separate the chancers from the genuinely dysphoric. Self ID is a non starter. These are just my opinions

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

@QcWynter And thats the issue, you MUST be wearing the national dress, for the Kirpan there is considerably looser requirement to have one on your person. The size is also different with the skene dhu smaller than the kirpan. Equality would suggest same requirements not different.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

@Margare20043443 @models_by_Russ Just because you have not seen them does not mean wooden ones do not exist. Try having a google, they are readily available.

[Apis Mellifera @Lady_Beekeeper]

@Margare20043443 @models_by_Russ Oh top trumps game. I am Scottish, grew up surrounded by the national dress & speak doric with family records that go back to the 16th C. Go to any shop that hires or sells kilts and as your picture states “ornamental” or imitation.
