Good call, Jackie Brambles @GHRSurrey playing a fab @springsteen track from The Rising tonight. Listening to ‘Waitin’ on a Sunny Day’ felt like a Sunday treat from @simonmayo!

@TheThruxtonian @springsteen @HelloFreemens @JoeStrummer @StranglersSite @cityoflondon Interesting… I was impressed with your multi-lingual posts! My former Bursar is a motorcycle nut. If you are ever back in Surrey, come for a visit…!

Hoping @springsteen plays tribute to @HelloFreemens pupil @JoeStrummer at Wembley by opening with #LondonCalling

Sitting in a darkening room listening to the wondrous @roxymusic @bryanferry (Isaac, a former pupil!) Sirens on vinyl. Proof, if it were ever needed, that @simonmayo is not only the best DJ on the planet but also has the best concept in playing album tracks. Take your pick, Simon

Dear Gareth
Thank you. You have taken Dear @England to two consecutive finals at the Euros and a quarter final at the World Cup. You have made England football stand proud. UTV!

Not looking so jolly…

Another morning at Okehampton. The officers are wondering how CCF cadets @HelloFreemens will see clay pigeons this morning 😳

[Roland Martin @RJMHM]

The morning awaits @HelloFreemens CCF cadets in beautiful Devon (home county of @Olliewatkin_11)!

[Roland Martin @RJMHM]

Fantastic to watch the semi-final with CCF cadets from @HelloFreemens at Okehampton Training Camp along with cadets from several other schools. Unsurprisingly, students from @solsch1560 , like me, were particularly chuffed with @AVFCOfficial @Olliewatkin_11 winner! UTV!!

Cadets enjoying CCF Camp at Okehampton Training Camp. Weather holding up today…!

‘Forgive me for not believing the crocodile tears of independent schools now…’ @wesstreeting - is this your way of proving that your Party’s policy is not based on the politics of envy?

[Roland Martin @RJMHM]

Pretty sure it’s the real deal!!

One of the best parts of my job is hosting @AshteadRotary for the Cherished Car Parade that starts @HelloFreemens ahead of Ashtead Village Day. My ride today, courtesy of the wonderful Adrian, was a fabulous Bentley…

Representing @societyofheads @ASCL_UK Council. Whatever sector, you will have become a teacher because you care about children’s outcomes. To this end, the much-needed improvement in schools should not be at the expense of other children’s wellbeing. #educationmatters For ALL.

@pepediiasio @Samfr There should be pension incentives to recruit 55+ year olds into the profession. We’ve been incredibly fortunate to train colleagues @HelloFreemens who have decided to become teachers later in life and they are so skilled…
