Talking about the stillness last night -

Me: ‘Do I think you’re going to drop a Greek turd in the snow?’

My dad: ‘No do you think this is a precursor to snow?’

#theysaidiheard #misheard #greekturd ?! ❄️💩🇬🇷

On the flip side, someone once just sat down, intrigued, and asked, ‘so, what’s it like wearing hearing aids?’. It was really refreshing, if a little disarming. But I shouldn’t have been disarmed; if you’re curious, just ask! #12DaysofChristmas

@louhalvey Awesome Louise, your bit was great! Lovely little Flora 🐶🎄

[Anna @earofthestorm]

Also @krishgm can we spot a bit of a natural there...? How about a #BSL Level 1 course of an eve (or day I guess)?! 👐🏽

[Anna @earofthestorm]

Props to Channel 4 News for using in-vision #BSL tonight - helping to bring some rather dry, complicated subjects (#Brexit I’m looking at you 👀) to life, significantly improving access for many viewers. Can we have this all the time plz? Ta! #PurpleLightUp 🙌🏼

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

In a first for Channel 4 News, our entire programme tonight is being signed in support of #PurpleLightUp campaign which is raising awareness for International Day of Persons with Disabilities day.

Here's Krishnan Guru-Murthy signing the intro for one of tonight's main stories.

@Signkidtwi @HelpMusiciansUK you’re on a roll pal, nice work!

@megabusuk Hi Siobhan, does that mean updates aren’t posted on the weekend? I checked on your website and it said that’s where they would be found - I tweeted because there weren’t any updates. The coach was an hour late and I had to pay for a taxi and train instead in order to make an apt.

[Anna @earofthestorm]

@megabusuk Can you let me know when the 10.30 from Bristol to London is due to arrive?

[Anna @earofthestorm]

@EstherMcVey1 Can we link the skills of young people doing temporary work with the need for long-term in-work support and mentoring..? My suspicion is yes #EmploymentSkills18

[Anna @earofthestorm]

Summer jobs provide young people with important skills and the chance to find out what they don’t enjoy, yes @EstherMcVey1 but what can you do with those skills? My retail, hospitality and care experience helped me when I moved into job coaching later on #EmploymentSkills18

[Anna @earofthestorm]

I thought Kirsty McHugh from @ersa_news was excellent this afternoon; clearly insightful, tenacious and committed. Especially highlighting the need for improved in-work support, which is often lacking or inappropriate #EmploymentSkills18

[Anna @earofthestorm]

Good to hear directly from young people at yesterday’s @NDCS_UK #RightfortheFuture conference. Look forward to seeing positive outcomes from links made - thanks for inviting us to discuss available support #Deaf #Youngpeople #AccesstoWork https://t.co/ZTZEZ3MLYS

[National Deaf Children's Society @NDCS_UK]

Great to have so many young people at our #RightfortheFuture conference telling us what’s important to them when it comes to transitions support

[Anna @earofthestorm]

@GWRHelp I got your apology thank you - be good to know also about service access for deaf customers and diversifying recruitment ☺️

[Anna @earofthestorm]

@GWRHelp Almost all Bristol-Paddington trains cancelled today due to staff shortage - can you consider adjustments to recruitment process, accessing disabled people who may provide solutions to the whole staff shortage thing..?

[Anna @earofthestorm]

@GWRHelp Also, packed train had to make emergency stop for about 20 minutes; with only a tannoy announcement providing updates, how can deaf customers receive the messages?

[Anna @earofthestorm]

@SNewtonUK Good to speak at Caxton today - I look forward to exploring #supportedinternships within the department
