@joenutt_author My frustration is that it’s the ££ cost that will eventually start to change minds about VAT - the emotional impact on those forced to move school, teachers losing their jobs, state pupils now left behind in enlarged classes, and teacher workload increasing seems immaterial.

@llewelyn20 @domster68 Actually “Twits and Tweets” would be better…
Ok. I’ll stop now.

@llewelyn20 @domster68 “Jeff and Elaine: Visits and Tweets. (But don’t tell Elaine, she’ll kill me.)”
I can see it by the till in Waterstones now!

@llewelyn20 Slightly offended I’ve not been added now. It can’t be that random… 🤣🤣

@NewbieSlt But this clashes with the voluntary sessions on wellbeing that you said all staff must attend.

@llewelyn20 You should say that it’s a good question and a real mystery to mankind as you can always see the moon at night when it’s really raining.

@llewelyn20 Happy Birthday, Jeff!
I hope he knows that in a corner of social media he has cult celebrity status that wishes him every health and happiness.

If this is indeed the end, and I’m genuinely extremely sorry if that’s the case- it sounds like it is - then I still think this was a hell of a way to go out.

It’s was a heroic way to go and I loved him for it. I know many others did.

English cricket was lucky to have him.

@llewelyn20 Close the schools!

@WFASouthScot @_PaulHamilton @MorayHouse We had the screening of the documentary there too - it was incredibly moving. Even walking to it and along the surrounding streets having seen the map showing where each of the men came from was spine-tingling.

@nickfshort My grandfather once played a round of golf with him. My grandfather was a brusque Yorkshireman who had one leg longer than the other from polio, and Bader was … well, Bader. It was apparently a somewhat tense and terse round!

@llewelyn20 Good to know. Thanks.

@nickfshort @I_W_M @LordAshcroft I was there a few weeks ago, and had the slightly odd feeling of seeing something in the display I’d handled - the steering wheel from the zeppelin shot down by William Leefe Robinson.

@_PaulHamilton That doesn’t look like @StAsaphCath…

[Alex Leithead @arleithead]

@WG_RumblePants There really is nothing better.
