Over several years in @10DowningStreet I collected advice for my son, Charlie: https://t.co/uab5LQJyWB

I asked world leaders what they would say to themselves at 14 years old. Mikhail Gorbachev was quite emotional as he wrote his. His translator helped too. Here it is.

RIP

@DavidWooding Congratulations Dave - good luck with the new gig.

@timoncheese Afraid I’m a convert to FT, unless it’s a long interview which would benefit from f2f with a presenter for emotional context reasons. So much producer time & stress, programme money, guest time & effort - wasted over the years from booking remote studios at daft o’clock.

@RegattaOutdoors @DecathlonUK @RegattaOutdoors some feedback for you - sorry won’t be buying your products through @DecathlonUK marketplace because their customer service is hopeless. It ends after you have bought the products.

[Ali Carter @alicart]

@RegattaOutdoors Hi - looking for a returns address for some of your items bought through @DecathlonUK marketplace. Unfortunately their customer service is rubbish. Can you help please?

[Ali Carter @alicart]

@RegattaOutdoors @DecathlonUK Is this for UK returns?

[Ali Carter @alicart]

@Dare2b_sports hi - looking for a returns address for items bought in Marketplace from #Decathlon. Unfortunately their customer service is rubbish. Can you help? Thanks

[Ali Carter @alicart]

@DecathlonUK not getting much help with my enquiry to find a postal address to return marketplace items. Your customer service on Messenger is useless. Can you help?

Journalists should probably give politicians less shit about U-turns and politicians should probably be more honest about having made them.

@HarrietAgerholm Was sat waiting in my dentist’s the other day and heard the receptionist tell someone that there is a 2 year wait to become an NHS patient there - 500 people already on the waiting list.

@markdavies67 Sounds amazing.

Another reason why maintaining a flexible wfh culture makes sense for the future.

🤔 Why don’t rails get hot in Europe? The truth is they do.

☀️ But in countries typically hotter than ours, rails are stressed to withstand higher temperatures. 🌡️

@HeyMissSmith Working as a supply TA in a Reception class, I noticed the teacher there used story telling during the phonics session. He made up a simple story on the hop with the words and sounds the children were learning that day. The kids enjoyed it.
