@randomjottings1 Thanks so much for this recommendation - it's stylish as well as just-simplified-enough for the latest Austen fan in the family until the real thing is desired. Handover was on Tuesday and she's already finished it. Sense and Sensibility is next on her list, apparently.

Tips needed from knowledgeable readers: most appealing edition of P&P, perhaps illustrated, for a bright 10-year-old, voracious reader, fascinated by the story as seen on tv? Maybe for later, original text worth waiting for rather than retelling?

@TLRailUK Thanks: on the train, we were told that delay was due to “a problem in London” (worrying, remembering 7/7/05), later amended to “power cut”.. Got moving eventually, your response appreciated.

Troubles in London preventing our train going past Redhill - any ideas @TLRailUK

@valentinelow Darn, bought hardback - a good read even w/o new revelations.

@mrsteedUK @TfL Day of the Triffids meets ubiquitous trip hazards

[Catherine Bott @CatherineJBott]

2/2 the placing of this one is the winner, well done @TFL

Exciting new safety features on the tube: 8 of these on the westbound platform 1/2

Thanks for all the constructive and helpful replies: going for Plan B which does not involve transporting the troublesome cartucho termostático de latón by air. Learning every day…

Dear @easyJet please advise: this is an inverter for a domestic shower, broken and w/o brand/model ID so I need to show it to a plumber in the UK. Can I transport it in hand luggage? It’s less than 4 inches long, not heavy, no moving parts inside. Swift reply appreciated, thanks

[Catherine Bott @CatherineJBott]

@Gmac26719 @easyJet Inversor in Spanish=inverter in English. If you know what it isn’t “for a start” could you continue by telling me what it is?

[Catherine Bott @CatherineJBott]

@easyJet Thanks for your reply, but your colleague Afika says hold luggage only. WHO is correct?

[Catherine Bott @CatherineJBott]

@easyJet Thanks for your reply, but your colleague Jay says it’s ok in hand luggage. Who is correct?

[Catherine Bott @CatherineJBott]

@Alex_James83 @easyJet Only exactly identical replacement will work, hence need to take it home to be checked.

[Catherine Bott @CatherineJBott]

@easyJet I’m confused: Jay says my item is ok in hand luggage, Afika says hold luggage only. Which is correct? I’m travelling with hand luggage only, wouldn’t have asked otherwise.
