The Story Spoon Company

The Story Spoon Company makes educational toys and gifts. It is a home grown business, which helps supprt the home education of my three younger children

@SAJonesEsq @draevans I don't believe autism in girls was even a consideration in the 70s or 80s or even 90s and 2000. Diagnosed at an adult in my 40s

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

@draevans Is "everyone" being diagnosed, or is there more awareness, ergo more diagnosis?

@DanNailers @Sara_Rose_G The onus is on ND to conform to NT social rules. Yes NT rules rarely make sense, are full of irregularity, untruths and agendas. Being expected to read between the lines, rather than honest communication is seriously stress inducing #ActuallyAutistic

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

@Sara_Rose_G Absolutely 100% this.

Thanks for all your kindness. Really appreciate it! X

@ConHome @halfon4harlowMP Where is your evidence base? You are speaking from a standpoint where you know little of how home education is tailored to the individual child. You appear to be lacking in a fundamental understanding of education and that one size doesn't fit all. Alarmist rhetoric is not fact

@toddedillard Older sib convinced me the dog chocolate treats on the kitchen side was cooking chocolate. I ate so much I was sick. This was recounted for many years by older sibs. Revenge for me eating their easter eggs.

@marksandspencer @besteverravers Additionally you have managed to divert from the issue of knicker hangers which are pointless. Can your team be made up of forward thinkers who are considering the environmental legacy a large corporate such as yours is leaving. You could be a leading brand in addressing this!

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

@marksandspencer why do you use so much plastic? Just had parcel with knickers & vests. This included 7 useless hangers. Who hangs up their pants? What an utter waste of plastic order. You need to change this. #ClimateChange #PlasticFreeJuly #plasticpollution #environment

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

@marksandspencer @besteverravers The minis aren't an item that has a useful value, so the designed to last is negative as most will be discarded in household waste and last for a long time as waste. Repurposing to reusable cups, clothing, stationary would of made more environmental sense than some gimmick.

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

@besteverravers @marksandspencer Interested to hear @marksandspencer response to this.

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

@marksandspencer This is all progress (food based) but can you please move forward in other areas of your business. It is doesn't need to cost yout business. Removing knicker hangers is a no brainer. Why take 2 years over this? Or is it pointless if you are only focusing on food side of m&s?

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

@marksandspencer Your own commitments. "1. Reducing plastic we use in our business" .... are knicker hangers 'essential' Theoretically you could have a display cardboard shape for the knicker style for customer's to view and then knickers on shelves

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

@marksandspencer Aside from your assumption i am able to visit a store, are you suggesting I use emissions to transport these useless bits of plastic to a store? Still waiting to hear why do you have them for knickers in first instance? Yet to meet someone who hangs up their pants.

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

@marksandspencer This really isnt a good enough response. It is either am automated bot or as good as. Please escalate this and come back with a decent resolution

[The Story Spoon Company @SpoonStory]

And if you say "the hangers are recycled". At what cost? They are pointless, you have used energy to make them, you have posted them out which means many will end up un landfills. The energy to transport the extra weight has a carbon cost. You need to be more responsible!
