#A27 westbound near the #Hilsea junction is currently closed, and will likely be closed for most of the night, due to a serious collision.

Please seek an alternative route, and we will update with further information when the road is open again.

A driver crashed into Hove station today. Look at the destruction and imagine the forces involved. This is the kind of everyday road violence I think about when someone suggests that paint is adequate protection for my 12yo on his bike.

People stuck to the rules while the PM partied. And his MPs don’t care.

Let's get "Float to Live", Rips and Tides taught in all schools and to all of our youngsters. Great people/institutions working to save lives at sea, and beautiful St Agnes, Cornwall: https://t.co/RLJN5QDXJZ

@ScubaRoss That's no excuse these days Ross 😉 https://t.co/1ffewuvCu0

[Mike Tipton @ProfMikeTipton]

From lab to lifesaving. Applied physiology. #physiology

[Mike Tipton @ProfMikeTipton]

Very powerful to hear the float message helping to save lives. Well done @HMCoastguard well done @RNLI and well done @ExtEnvLab_UoP. Let's teach this in schools.

Sound on 🔊 to hear Jenny’s real 999 call to the Coastguard when her friend was swept out to sea

'It could easily happen to you':

🌊 Take a phone & check weather/tides
🌊 Tell someone your plans
🌊 #FloatToLive

Emergency? Call #999Coastguard #BeCoastSafe #RespectTheWater

[Mike Tipton @ProfMikeTipton]

Great meeting so far - bar set high!

[Ross @ScubaRoss]

For everyone whose endured zoom calls with people who don’t get on with technology. This is gold! 🤣

[Mike Tipton @ProfMikeTipton]

We need to teach children about tides, rips and cold shock in all schools. We have the evidence (paper under review in Safety Science). Would save lives, save resources and reduce the risk to our SAR community. @SafetyScienceTU @RNLI

Latest Experimental Physiology Newsletter is out. Check out the link to Bertrand Russell in 1959. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it (Santayana). https://t.co/m1BpERSzvu

Tonight, as we celebrate Joe Biden’s apparent election victory, we understand that our struggle is not over. It has just begun.

This guy doesn't need a lollipop!

[Mike Tipton @ProfMikeTipton]

Humanity at its best. Wear a lifejacket, take a means of communication and float first. Thanks to all of those who work hard to save others.

[Geoff Long @bigtriphippy]
