@bt_uk Why is the only way I can cancel a TV contract with you as my broadband provider to sit on the phone for over an hour while being charged per minute for the privilege? But you’ll let me upgrade online immediately? No chat, no email… @btsport #mobile

@goldcarcares Trying to get a response from Hold Car customer services about an incorrect payment taken. No response. You have £270 that should have been returned and there has been no communication. Please advise what email address is best.

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret I wondered what your thoughts are on the importance of character education? Since Nicky Morgan, no minister has pushed CE so much & in a world of selfishness & greed perhaps we need a generation of young moral leaders to come through our schools

[George Browning @GeorgeBrowning]

@campbellclaret Can I ask why, when interviewing Sir Paul Nurse, @RoryStewartUK said “you didn’t go to Oxford or Cambridge but went to a variety of universities and ended up at Edinburgh “? We want students to think all unis will help them succeed. Oxbridge is not the only route!

[George Browning @GeorgeBrowning]

@campbellclaret How did your colleagues at @TheNewEuropean take your suggestion to read books not newspapers on the @RestIsPolitics? Should I be unsubscribing from TNE and hitting Waterstones?

[George Browning @GeorgeBrowning]

@Scienceofsport @JBEphysEd Ok. The problem being year 7 girls can’t play up with year 8 girls this year so the numbers game is creating drop off especially at secondary schools. Is there a reason the RFU won’t let 11 year old girls play with 12 year olds but they will let 12 year olds play with 13s?

[George Browning @GeorgeBrowning]

@Scienceofsport Is there any evidence why boys and girls can’t play contact rugby together above age 11 in the UK? Spain and France allow it, why can’t we? Have the RFU decided on evidence based safety grounds? @JBEphysEd

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Also enjoying that @RoryStewartUK ends the chat with you “love you lots” but @campbellclaret can only muster “all the best”… Does this sum up your relationship?

[George Browning @GeorgeBrowning]

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Albanian Prime Minister was charismatic, knowledgeable and focused on global collaboration. To develop global citizens should we consider a more from A-Levels to the International Baccalaureate where there is a specific focus on global collaboration + creating rounded students?

Looking to develop a Sport Science Society at Reigate GS. First on my list of interesting speakers are @close_nutrition and @JTGreyMattersUK who have done a great job at King Edward's, Bham - would you be interested in speaking to aspiring sport scientists / sportspeople at RGS?

A great chance to join the team at RGS - please pass on or get in touch if you know anyone interested.

@ShaunPerry9 @russellearnshaw Congrats Pezza - you’ve always been a Level 4 to me...

[England Rugby @EnglandRugby]

The RFU welcomes the announcement by the Prime Minister that grassroots team sports including community rugby can return from 29 March.

We will work with DCMS on Covid protocols for the community game, including the format of rugby that will be permitted in return to play.

@KESSport @jonnyjetski007 Absolute legend!

[George Browning @GeorgeBrowning]

@mrjakehumphrey All of my PE Department absolutely love the show! Some great episodes but to stick my neck out - two faves have been the end of series reviews. I’ve enjoyed a deeper psych perspective. Any chance of more of this than just season wrap ups? #highlerformancepodcast
