Hello!
Hope all is well.
My family and I are taking part in the @thekiltwalk on Sunday to raise funds for @lanarkshiredeaf
We would be delighted if you could sponsor us, please.
Thank you so much. Have a lovely weekend.

Delighted to be enjoying my #MatchaTea from @StarbucksUK in Edinburgh. 😁
I’m smiling just like the cup because I was served by a staff member using a bit of #BSL and hand gestures. Awesome! 👏
We need more business staff trained in British Sign Language (BSL).

Come on @StarbucksUK!
What’s going on with your Matcha Tea?!
Why are you always out of stock??
This is poorly managed and coordinated.
Four Starbucks were out of stock in one week, and two are out of stock this week.
I like my Matcha Tea on the way to work.

Thank you, @mrmichaelball, for an outstanding afternoon performance of @lesmisofficial at @OVOHydro. Seeing you singing again after our last theatre visit many years ago to @HairsprayLondon was brilliant and brought back lovely memories! Well done to all at #LesMiserables ❤️

Disappointed with @oasis. Do you care about your fans?!
@TicketmasterUK, you’re a joke! Misleading! “Tickets are available” at 10.57am when it’s sold out!
@Kier_Starmer, what’s happened to your promise against ticket touts?! Sort it!
Resellers are a disgrace!

@paulbelmontesli Absolutely!! 🫤 With some BSL / English Interpreters, it’s getting out of control. Sadly, some are getting greedy and selfish. It’s a shame because they’re giving their fellow fantastic BSL / English Interpreters a bad name!! I’m highly concerned with the future. Work together!!!

[Derek R Todd @DerekRTodd]

Consultations timescale:
1.) @scotgov draft #BSL National Plan 2023-2029 is nine weeks!
2.) @GOVUK GCSE BSL in England is 12 weeks.
3.) #HumanRights Bill in Scotland is 16 weeks.
Do you think BSL Communities got a fair deal?
It’s a fragile draft plan, Minister @JennyGilruth. 😳👎
