Staffroom drain. If you’re a radiator, you’re adding to my workload. Brightoneer.

When I was a teenager, in the days before GPS, my father used to make hand-drawn maps for me when I was planning to drive somewhere. They included instructions like "left turn where we saw that fawn" and "keep going," and I'd take getting lost any day to feel that found again.

@0Beanie05923291 What’s yours?

@mike56200 … few bins and all overflowing, which doesn’t exactly encourage doing the right thing. @BrightonHoveCC @brightonsnapper

@mike56200 Busy Brighton Pavilion lawns yesterday (you may have seen it in the news about our beach over bank holiday😠). One group had left a ton of takeaway mess so I went to the cafe for a binbag and collected it up. Got a ripple of applause which was nice 😆. Not an excuse but very…

@greeborunner Ooh go for it, gal 👍

Hi @sainsburys @Morrisons @asda @Tesco @LidlGB @AldiUK . Any chance you could *not* sell garden plants if you don’t have the staff power to keep them watered? Sick of seeing dead/dying plants outside your stores. Thanks.

I see ‘KS3 is really important’ revelatory lightbulb moment is doing the rounds again.

@educationgovuk Oh do sod off. 30+ years in tough schools and I've never felt more disdain for my profession.

@greeborunner @imagineinquiry If there had been comment on these cases there might have been a different judgement re the case on 21st May. You'd hope.

@JamieFonzarelli Or change presenter. FB presents QT with the same chummy/smiley bonhomie as she does Antiques Roadshow.

@aswren Same for me in Stoke (tho I didn’t). But then we had a pottery industry. And a steel industry. And a coal industry.

@botzarelli … blurred - ie parent, or friend? - parenting etc) I’ve every sympathy.

[CKeeling @DackBlog]

Can't* believe the old 'why aren't schools preparing their students for work?' bollocks has reared its ugly head again.

*of course I can believe it.

[CKeeling @DackBlog]

@botzarelli Re your first point - absolutely!

I am finding students (secondary) less resilient/able to use initiative etc lately - but tbh with the legacy we’re leaving them (student debt, post-lockdown effect, house prices, global stuff, lack of hope for the future re cost of living/jobs…

[CKeeling @DackBlog]

@Lee7dfzz Prob for schools is we’re mopping up all the ills of poor parenting and society in general. We’re not funded/equipped for that.

[CKeeling @DackBlog]

@botzarelli Yep fair dos. Agree. Just want them to stop complaining that schools aren’t turning out kids ready for the workplace. If I had a quid for everything we ‘should’ be teaching them I could retire early. Like we get to choose.

[CKeeling @DackBlog]

@botzarelli I mourn the days when employers thought it was their job to train their employees.

@miss_mcinerney Plus modern cars all look the same (butt ugly). When was the last time you saw a (newish) car and knew the brand from the shape?
