You lost me @British_Airways when you claimed my 12 year old is a ‘young adult’. Nope, he’s a child.

@VodafoneUK So, after being branded a liar by @VodafoneUK, made a call from my landline to mobile from 8:01 to 8:02 which, unsurprisingly, is then itemised on bill as 7:01pm. This call should have been charged but many 1900 to 2000hrs calls cost when they shouldn’t! @MoneySavingExp

@Jojo07800610 @linseyowens3 This ‘justification’ is extremely unhelpful @linseyowens3. I’ve been a teacher for 20 years before you ask.

@AGall1013 @DrMMarten @MrWalker_Tweets @EISUnion Wherever the numbers have come from, this 2019 article seems all too familiar from recent weeks. Whatever happened to the ‘reopener clause’ to prevent further deterioration or are year-long struggles to achieve teacher pay awards just to be accepted as the norm?

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

@AGall1013 @DrMMarten @MrWalker_Tweets @EISUnion Are you reading the right article? 76% turnout in 2019, I’ve not seen this number confirmed for yesterday’s. https://t.co/5bv53cLhGk

@BeeTee727 @EISUnion ‘Attent10n’ puts 10 twice into the word to remind those who seem to have forgotten. 🧐

After some more dusty jobs in a very dry garden today, I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to the petrichor so much! 🥵

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

@MicGBanks1 @sqanews This! Not good to hear but slightly comforting to know I’m not the only one. 🙁

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

My claimed 214 mile electric range, which is in reality 120 mile range, would cost £25 to charge at one of these points + the monthly fee & the premium charged for electric cars. 21p a mile for electric vs. 13p a mile for my last petrol car. £3125 vs. £1625 p.a. Hmm. 🤔

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

What an amazing bike this turned out to be, @Alpkit! 😍

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

@BobbyCochran21 Can we play power cut trumps? We got 14 hours! 😩

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

This just dropped into my inbox today; 4th MIEE. Looking at the modules I’ve covered in the last year, it seems remote learning @BerthaParkHigh really has defined the route I’ve taken. @MSEducationUK

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

That time I got a mention in The Times after the snow came. If only I knew what was about to come. 🦠 😩

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

@mtholfsen Mind working overtime to think of all the ways this could be used to teach science. 😍

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

Today is a sad day! 🤨 #MIEExpert

@Sfm36 The word ‘digital’ appears 50 times in HGIOS 4 in all sorts of contexts, many in section 3.3 - Increasing Creativity and Employability, so I’d be very concerned if it didn’t exist somewhere.

[Stuart Smith @iamstuartacus]

@Sfm36 I only have to look at the weekly screen time analysis on my phone to realise how bad it can be. Hours and hours of potentially unproductive time or missed family, exercise or r&r time.
