I've noticed this with loads of my old favourite snacks - monster munch claws seem to be smaller, hula hoop rings narrower, wagon wheels just, well...less impressive? But I think we just remember these snacks as kids when EVERYTHING is bigger :)

@Willhide @LEVEN_hotels Interesting building to. I wonder what it was before Leven?

@PRcarly honesty and a decent tale or two...

@RachelSTWood Elegant, beautiful and classy. We need more of this kind of imagery in society...

[James Walter @Cand1dmedia]

...and how and who are going to regulate it? I do worry for those creative souls

@Lorna_Explorer Love the super original names these pubs have to 😄

Time for Pimm's anyone? (ok its not quite summer yet but who cares) checking out this new Pimm's themed pop up venue at Apex Temple Court in London. Happy days :) @Summertime @ApexHotels

@Willhide I think sending mass e-mails is like the proverbial throwing XXX at the wall and seeing what sticks. Lazy PR in my book. Having said that I posted a generic message about Bath stays on this very platform! Wrist officially slapped 😄

[James Walter @Cand1dmedia]

@Willhide I feel your pain, must be as irritating 'from the other side' Only issue is some journos are genuinely grateful to get a nudge. Sometimes the e-mail has landed in the junk, or they liked the idea, got distracted and never replied. Granted, the exception rather than the rule:)

I see more and more of this in the work place. Maybe rose tinted spectacles but it didn't seem so bad 10-15 years ago? I definitely feel more anxious, and sleep is an issue - #COVID19 events in #UkraineRussianWar haven't helped

[Gaby Soutar @gsoutar]

For today's @TheScotsman column, I wrote about anxiety for Mental Health Awareness Week @mentalhealth - an easy one to write but harder to share.

Did you know the famous Bath springs first formed 500,000 years ago and their source is 2.5 km underground? Any travel writers planning a piece about the magical city of Bath and need comp tickets to the incredible Thermae Bath Spa and/or somewhere nice to stay, I can help 😉

Amazing! Similar thing happened to me while working for Coral Quay near Belize - heading back from a diving trip, school of 50 dolphins followed us on the rib - jumped in a swam with them for over 20 minutes. Kind, noble creatures

Pre-dawn alarm. Cold, dark, foggy drive across Cape Town. And then… this.
Safe to say I’m very, very happy with my decision to go kayaking with @escapeexplore this morning.

@kerryawalker @timestravel @visitnorway Nice piece Kerry. friends of mine spent a year in Norway on a work exchange - they said the cross country ski commute was an interesting way to get to work in the winter 😀

[James Walter @Cand1dmedia]

@DannyGroner @ChrisHarihar Couldn't agree more Danny - its one of the reasons I went with straight talking communication as a tag line. I'm trying to cut through the c*&p some in our industry sprout on a daily basis, not to mention the fluff and overpromising. I'm not amazing, you're not amazing.

[James Walter @Cand1dmedia]

@ChrisHarihar YES! Hire me :)

Love this from @etaKatetaKate – and I think Americans should consider some of their less than palatable concoctions before taking aim...

The British Chinese takeaway deserves respect, not sneering by ignorant Americans https://t.co/LdH2qRbpWK
