@RoyalMailHelp will do thanks- and thanks for responding

@RoyalMailHelp On 25.11.24 I posted an Advent Calendar to my child who is away at uni. I posted from a Post Office and paid app. £3.79 as directed by the cashier. My child received a fee to pay card with a £7 fee. Please explain why you have charged for insufficient postage??

@JamesLucasIT @PoetBex Wow to all of these!

[Charlotte Ansell @Lottisometimes]

Thank you so much @VervePoetryFest for another incredible array of readings today- @Nic_Sealey wowed again and I was especially transfixed by @marjorielotfi tonight...

[Charlotte Ansell @Lottisometimes]

@called_terry Thanks Terry- yes being ill can be so inconvenient and frustrating- such a shame you missed the line break session- it was very good. I do hope to go to Verve next year instead- I very much doubt going as anything other than a punter though!

[Charlotte Ansell @Lottisometimes]

@Nic_Sealey @VervePoetryFest @stubartholomew @gosspoems @alice_hiller @Jo_Bell @lukewrightpoet I had to go and re-read your 'Candlelabra with heads' and 'In defense of candlelabra with heads' @Nic_Sealey incredible poems both. I'm really looking forward to your reading today too.

[Charlotte Ansell @Lottisometimes]

so gutted to miss @VervePoetryFest due to illness but hugely grateful to @stubartholomew for the livestream. Groundbreaking work by Holly Pester & Hannah Silva, v. powerful performances by @gosspoems @alice_hiller @Nic_Sealey with @Jo_Bell & @lukewrightpoet had me in bits. Bravo

I called this “algo” but it isn’t just self-censorship people are forced to in order to not be shadow-banned, it’s also replicated in mainstream media’s editorial choices, which deliberately obfuscate the empire’s extreme violences. Every day they murder language.

@livtuckwrites hey Olivia, I'm not in the Writing hours but I saw your post and wanted to say I love this poem- brilliantly done!

[Charlotte Ansell @Lottisometimes]

@CalebParkin @maxjohnporter I loved it too- I think i might just prefer Shy though which i loved even more...

[Charlotte Ansell @Lottisometimes]

@JillAbram1 congratulations Jill!

[Charlotte Ansell @Lottisometimes]
