@susannareid100 You are such a good interviewer. The compassion you showed when interviewing the mother and guy about the ethanol poisoning in Thailand in allowing them share their story was touching! I also like your doggedness when holding politicians to account!

@MGLnrd @Waterstones I’ve just read Beetle Boy to my class, who absolutely adored it! I can’t believe it’s ten years ago that I first read it aloud to a class!

@toryboypierce @British_Airways Flying back from New York, the snack before landing was a pack of three custard creams and two thirds of a cardboard cup of lukewarm coffee’, more like a budget airline!

@bphillipsonMP That’s true. Its helpful.

But, to succeed, children also need:

- enough teachers
- a SEN system that works
- a viable Ofsted alternative
- a curriculum that allows subjects to breathe
- schools that have enough money

How are we doing with progress on those?

Recently I ordered a shower from @TritonShowers & paid for installation up front.
The shower arrived promptly, then a couple of days later I got a call from Triton to arrange a time for installation.
So far so good...
During this call I was informed that they don't do installations in my location themselves, BUT they use subcontractors instead.
They took my details are told me to expect a call from an engineer in the next day or 2.
A few days passed and I'd not had a call, so I sent Triton an email. They never replied.
By the time a whole week had passed, I gave them a call to ask what was happening, giving them my reference number and details.
I was told by the woman that answered that she'd make some enquiries and call me back the next morning.
The next morning I didn't get a call back, in fact the whole day passed and nothing... the following day I heard nothing either..
Starting to get a bit annoyed, I called again yesterday. I was in a queue for 45minutes, after answering questions from an ai voice, that didn't understand what I was saying, repeating the wrong words or numbers back to me...
After 45 minutes in the call queue, the line went silent, yet the call was still going....
I eventually hung up and tried another extension.
Finally a human being answered!
Again I explained what had happened, that I'd had my shower for 2 weeks and that I wanted someone to fit it, which I'd already paid for, but no-one at Triton was helping me or giving me any information!
She was apologetic and said she'd escalate it and to expect a call later that day.
'That day' was yesterday, and you've guessed it, no-one called me back (I made sure that they had the correct phone number and details)
As of now, 2pm the following day, still no call...
To say the customer service of @TritonShowers leaves a lot to be desired is an understatement..

Every month this year, I intend to give away a full class set of one book via @ANewChapterBks - I truly believe a full class set is one of the most valuable resources a teacher can have when teaching reading.

No faff to enter, just retweet and consider yourself in.

@bluelightcard just booked airport parking at Manchester through blue light app and checked to see how much I’d saved looking at Manchester Airport website! Both prices were the same despite stating a 12% discount.
