@tomhfh Fun fact: small family-owned coffee stand in Queen Sq WC1 gives 10% discount to the c7000 NHS staff working at three hospitals within a 100m radius. Marketing/sales promotion/good business sense. Don't you get any actual news stories coming your way?

@trishgreenhalgh Film: Fall. Low-budget but excellent

[Claire Harrison @MumFerret]

@ruskin147 Even more impressive that the West Ealing sorting office managed it 🙄

@TimesRadio sorry to say but your newsreader on Asmah & Stig is about the worst on radio.She rarely gets through a bulletin without at least one mistake. Today's gems: "the lowest workers" (lowest-paid?), and "since 208" (2008?). Hate to be negative but it's almost every bulletin

@TrevorHaydock64 @susie_dent It was common in my late Dad's family to describe someone they disapproved of in some way as "a right Herbert"

[Claire Harrison @MumFerret]

@maunsC @susie_dent My grandma born 1895 used to say that and describe my poor grandpa as being "as deaf as a post"

[Claire Harrison @MumFerret]

@Will_Humphrey @susie_dent My mum came to England in aged 19 and that was how she learnt to describe going to see a film; she still does 65 years later

@susie_dent @indicium I heard people say this all the time when i was growing up (I'm 58) with "thing coming" not "think"

[Claire Harrison @MumFerret]

@susie_dent "Happy as a sandboy" (my late Dad born 1926)

[Claire Harrison @MumFerret]

@susie_dent "No good deed goes unpunished" (my grandma born 1895). I say it most days!

@theRCN Please don't collude in a deal to undermine AfC and the collective strength of NHS staff side. Before you know it, NHS pay will be as opaque and unequal as it was before AfC. Don't be part of its undoing

[Claire Harrison @MumFerret]

@LBC @clivebull Received. Ffs. Who writes your tweets?

[Claire Harrison @MumFerret]

@ShaunLintern I have SERIOUS reservations about the prospect of a parallel spine for a single staff group or for more than one. Before we know it, NHS pay will be back to being as opaque, unequal and Byzantine as it was pre-AfC.

[Claire Harrison @MumFerret]

@ShaunLintern I will accept on the pragmatic basis that I think it's the best we will get in anything like the short to medium term.

[Claire Harrison @MumFerret]

@ShaunLintern @theRCN The beginning of the end for AfC and undermines the effectiveness joint bargaining by the unions in the future. I wonder what that will do fir relations on the Staff Council. Midwives will (or should be) cross

@mrdanwalker Wriggle, no question

@sapphirejbates Late to this twitter party, but just ordered a couple of books from you for my daughters. I loved your initiative on here and I really hope you can continue to serve your customers in Ramsgate - and beyond!

@KateBurkeNHS Cut out meat, alcohol and refined sugar for a whole month. Lose any weight? Forget it.

@DianeCoyle1859 Is it big enough for her?
