@TrudieMaxim @sewateruk Once on the vulnerable list and marked as 'cannot collect' people should get deliveries automatically - my mum has been.

@Kilkeerock @sewateruk @RtHonGregClark @ThreshedThought No chance! It’s a disgrace. If @sewateruk had been upfront about the time it was back on she could have gone out in daylight and bought water from the supermarket! They keep pushing the time back.

@sewateruk Is @ThreshedThought Mike Martin MP aware this is still happening? With planning permission to build 100s of new homes on the site of St Mark’s playing fields in the coming years, how on earth will they cope then?

[Nicholas Simms @NicholasJSimms]

@Kilkeerock @sewateruk @RtHonGregClark @ThreshedThought Thanks! Google search was wrong then!!

[Nicholas Simms @NicholasJSimms]

@sewateruk How do I get water delivered to my mum who is 82 and has had no water for 8 hours now?

[Nicholas Simms @NicholasJSimms]

@petersketch @ElectionMapsUK They had one job…

@MelHand_Teacher @SwailesRuth Agree! I wonder if we’ll be enjoying Rees-Mogg TV programs in 20 years as much as we enjoy Portillo’s now?

@ElectionMapsUK @BMGResearch Is there a poll of polls? A summary of all polls completed in a certain time?

@StAlbansDMAT @HFL_Carole @stalbansdioedu @StAlbansCath @DSAMATTED @mansheadacademy @JChipperton @hertscc @HFL_Education I was so sorry to hear this. He was such a lovely man and so kind to me when I was head @StMarysHighHead My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as well as the community of Townsend School.

@andrewoneillHT Keywords (mis)used in these situations to give greater weight to unsubstantiated claims: “bullying”, “safeguarding”, “racism”.

@norchcity @lighthousekat @Strickomaster Agree - and we can't treat adults like children. In many ways sanctions for adults are stricter. Child tells teacher to F*** off a few times and gets suspensions. Adult tells other adult to F*** off a few times and gets sacked. This doesn't mean children are disrespected.

@lighthousekat @Strickomaster @norchcity They do: HR policies explaining the consequences of unacceptable or inappropriate behaviour.

@RealGeoffBarton @kennygfrederick Victoria Wood was the best comedian and comedy writer IMO and Patricia Routledge performed her best lines so well. ❤️

@revmaryhawes @Junipalooza @SpiritsKiosk @GowerGinCompany @robhalls We’re considering organising our own in a decent gin joint in town 😂

[Nicholas Simms @NicholasJSimms]

Any news on dates for 2024? @Junipalooza @SpiritsKiosk @GowerGinCompany @revmaryhawes

@Julespg I wonder how old the photo is. I googled Halfmerke primary school and there’s not a single photo I could see with that blazer on.

[Nicholas Simms @NicholasJSimms]

@Carter6D A good plan!

[Nicholas Simms @NicholasJSimms]

Agree! This is terrible and needs attention from the top!
