@AmazonUK thanks for the bag of piss dumped in my recycling wheelie bin

Really confused as I hadn't ordered a bag of piss

This video from @NorwichCityFC is the best bit of Mental Health Awareness I’ve ever seen… watch until the end.

@Louisdebernard @catiwat @MStott88 Would much rather go to work and actually start on time as it is but without substantial investment in terms and conditions meaning adequate ward/theatrestaffing it's a pipe dream. But this is a political choice.

@Louisdebernard @catiwat @MStott88 Used to have it earlier but no more live in aupairs (brexit benefit) and nannies have left after a short period of time, all for nannying jobs with shorter more social hours. Onsite childcare would work for preschoolers but not for when children start school.(Doi outside SEast)

A Court ruled 8 years ago that, by changing a surgeon at the last moment, the patient's consent became invalid. Court ruled that patients have a right to make an informed choice, based on who would be operating on them.
Act quickly, @NHSEngland - current consent forms need to be changed.

After returning from northern France, the lack of biodiversity/insect life in the UK is shocking. I can’t possibly convey the difference in one tweet so here’s a 🧵of just how nature depleted we are, even though the landscape, climate & species (historically) are almost identical

Great graphic by ⁦@jburnmurdoch⁩. In other words, Britain is a poor country, with 1 moderately wealthy region.

'Normally in a war when soldiers are expected to fight at the frontline, everyone knows that you can't do that all the time.'

As the NHS turns 75, St Bartholomew's Chief Executive Charles Knight tells @HenryRiley1 why its morale has dropped to an all-time low.

@StevenMAlderson @DrLindaDykes No fees only came in for the 1998 cohort who graduated 2003

Are you ready for this?

Our Govt paid £2.6bn for 5 migrant ships over 2 years

And yet…

The general cost to charter the most luxurious Royal Caribbean cruise ship for 2 years

Inc fuel, food, staff, etc

For 5614 people (double our migrant boats’ capacity)

Is $832m

Or £643m.

Consultants who bought their properties 10 years ago: If you couldn’t afford to buy your current property at its current valuation, at the current comparable salary you’d have now, you should probably be striking.

@coffeeheadaches I guess fed up of them repeatedly breaking!, and seeing if they could be repaired

@coffeeheadaches Google - Thermostat Coupler STRIX Steam Switch

[Richard Smith @Richard5865]

@coffeeheadaches It's probably the thermal switch mechanism that's failed, made of surprisingly flimsy plastic, and a surprisingly highly conserved feature across ttecseveral brands of kettle I have conducted PM s on. All of the switches were made by the same manufacturer
