@ErewashBC Hi. As you now charge for brown bin collections of only compostable materials, please can I swap your brown bin for a compost bin so that I get the benefit of my waste and space? We're all trying to save money and the planet. Thanks

@sarajcox Cornwall circa 1993. I begged my dad to borrow our tent to take for my first teen holiday with my mates. Despite it being mine, the girls decided to pitch on the side of a hill/cliff. Lasted less than 24hrs. Twas mortified but Dad didn't mind because he'd made it at his work!🤣
If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight
Please take just two seconds to show you care
Confettigate: A Statement From Just Stop Oil
The lady who threw confetti in Bruton yesterday was upholding a tradition that is common across many cultures. We absolutely defend the right for people to throw confetti (of whatever colour) at weddings and other celebrations.
If it was a form of protest — which is yet to be established — we applaud it and thank the person concerned. It was peaceful and not especially disruptive, but got massive media attention for Just Stop Oil’s demand.
It has also helped people to recall that George Osborne, one of the main architects of economic austerity, is directly responsible for over 300,000 excess deaths, and that — as a newspaper editor — he was responsible for some of the most egregious climate-denying nonsense ever to darken the pages of mainstream mass media.
However, as much as we applaud the use of orange confetti at this wedding, we were not responsible.
Perhaps the press could focus on something more important now? Like the current government’s plans to licence over 100 new oil and gas projects, which will result in excess deaths the likes of which we have never seen. Or the fact that the UN Secretary General has said that ‘climate change is out of control’ as we’ve just seen the hottest average temperatures since records began. Or the fact that Canadian wildfires have now burned down an area the size of Portugal.
We are in catastrophically dangerous territory and the press have a moral responsibility to inform and educate people as to the causes of the crisis so that we can take action to defend ourselves. In 2023, it is simply criminal not to check your facts.
Really angry @showcasecinemas (De lux!) In @Derbion #Derby. After years of taking them, and several birthday parties, my 15yr old daughter took a huge step to go with her friend for the 1st time. She was treated appallingly by staff and management. I will never go again.
