Appalled by @asda service this morning, we had 18! people in the queue waiting for their click and collect George orders for over 45 minutes.. only after a number of us complained to the service desk did someone saunter along and deal with the queue slowly and without apology!

@samueljenkinson 9 year old daughter was told the earliest possible appointment she could have was in 9 weeks time and was a phone appointment that could happen any time in that 24 hours period... This for a hearing issue!

💖 I'm sponsoring @bugzilla because it's a worthwhile project that's not getting enough love. #kohails use it extensively, as such it's a daily part of my workflow. https://t.co/XNBfXIs9z0

My friend has a different disposable income to me.

Our kids play together and have been friends for some time.

One of her kids asked why their cousin got so much more than them at Christmas. He asked if they are very poor.

She used my kids as an example. Do they get excessive amounts of gifts? Nope! Could we afford it, yes but we don't feel it's the right thing to do.

They had a big talk about why people overspend on black friday, at birthdays or Christmas when in reality that adds to family pressure.

Christmas is about being together and not going wild. Unless of course it involves Christmas lights. 🤣👀🎄

I felt I was on the right path when she used us as an example. Even if you can afford it, most of it is plastic rubbish that ends up in landfill! There's more ways to enjoy yourself than overspending!

UK authorities can't even secure their own data. How dare they undermine encryption with the Online Safety Bill?

Here is how you can fight for #privacy with us! ✊

The Doctrine of Charity asks us to assume virtuous intent. To assume the best of others.

When someone says something, what is the best they could have meant (instead of assuming the worst)?

When someone is failing to deliver is there something else going on?

@librarieshacked Sorry, a bit slow replying here. Interesting idea, I like it. Must admit, I've never really thought about the anonymisation at this early stage, but it does make sense. I initially thought it would mean overdue notices might cause challenges, but in reality it doesn't.

This scumbag was caught red-handed fly-tipping at Coopers Lane Rd coming into Potters Bar, Herts...
But who is he?

[Jennifer Hillyard @MiningLibrarian]

A great opportunity for a librarian from the NE to attend the national CILIP conference down in Birmingham.
Please consider applying - we really don't get as many applications for things like this as you might imagine!

Look at all those milling hacker faces at #kohails hackfest.

@librarieshacked Yikes, that's horrible. Totally agree about the accessibility front too, language and timing is often completely overlooked.

[𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐳𝐞 @Ashimema]

And I thought 1 cat, 1 dog and 2 kids was a stretch!

Great spotlight, Kyle really is a legend in #kohails, it's a privilege to have worked with him in the community over the years.

[ByWater Solutions @ByWaterSolution]
