@stokieadam @goustocooking To be fair at least they now knock, they used to just leave it without even doing that. Luckily no damage this time, but just dropping the box in the way they do is so disrespectful and usually leads to damage.

[Paul Bastiaens @P19A75B]

Oh dear @goustocooking we have raised concerns about your choice of courier service on multiple occasions and have even left due to their poor service. We are back but #DPD_UK are letting you down massively. Not impressed at all with this morning’s ‘drop’ of our parcel.

@RobMorgan43C To what extent has professionalisation of the military eroded the military ethos?

In more mobile population, how effective is the current method of recruiting personnel (or hierarchical structure) to deliver the defence capability/outputs.

Sure there are more too.

Very jealous of my eldest daughter Kristin who is currently off with the @TallShipsYT onboard Challenger 2. Huge thanks to the @NavalChildren for supporting this great initiative to get kids into sailing and building on their life experiences.
