@Damian_Barr @NTSonline 👏 massive well done. Can’t wait til the Saturday matinee. I can see it’s been a very powerful journey for you xx

@Damian_Barr @NCLFilmTv The Ravenscraig cooling tower brings back memories of my childhood. Such a strong image for me (we could see it from our house). My dad filmed it being demolished. Was the end of an era for sure

@JaneyGodley @Helen_Fields @MichaelHWood I love Callanach

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@implausibleblog @AldiUK I always use my own bag / bags. It does cross my mind that someone might ask me why I am filling my bag as I shop the store but I’ve never actually been challenged ever. It’s just my preferred way to do a quick top up shop!

@emreadsthebooks I love Maggie O’F and just couldn’t finish this book. I’m not so into historical fiction, and really didn’t enjoy the 2/3rds of this that I read! I guess life would be boring if we all liked the same things!

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@Damian_Barr I was explaining to my kids today about Ravenscraig and the closure impact. Really feel for the people of Port Talbot too. Sadly so reminiscent

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@emreadsthebooks I remember expecting more from it as it was on one of those top 100 books you just read lists. I was likely a little disappointed (sorry. Trying not to be too neg given you are reading it! ). Possibly it just didn’t resonate with me 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Malc__B @mrblairbowman One thing to note, my
comments on ave. £ for GB Scotch category are based on off trade mainstream supermarket and high street sales. I don’t have visibility of on trade/ luxury retail/ travel retail. It is profitable to launch premium Spirits but they are a smaller slice

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@Malc__B @mrblairbowman The majority of the category sells through at the lower prices though in GB. Bottles selling at £40+ collectively deliver a tiny share of overall Scotch sales in GB - a few percentage share points at most

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@DaveDMan8 @oldmudgie @mrblairbowman Not blended whisky. It is cheaper in England. Cheapest a litre of blends can sell in Scotland is £20. In England standard price was £16 per Litre when MUP was introduced. £17 a year ago and now £18 post duty increase. So Scottish shoppers do pay more for blended Litre deals

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@Malc__B @mrblairbowman Blended Whisky often sells below £16 per 70cl. Litre deals were typically £17 in the last year or so and post august duty increase are broadly moving to £18. Litre deals are even less profitable thanks 70s

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@mrblairbowman @Malc__B I head up the Spirits analytics team at NielsenIQ. It’s astounding the proportion of each sale which goes to COGs/logistics/supplier+ retailer profit. I did similar calcs pre+post Aug duty changes. Pretty clear why headline prices are having to increase alongside shallower deals

@Damian_Barr Demo organised for 18th oct midday at Motherwell Civic

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@Damian_Barr I am utterly shocked by the NLC decision. Can’t believe swimming pools closing too 😢

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@UgsPupilsupport @UGSchool Hi - we unfortunately can't make tonight - can it be recorded in any way please? Recorded on Teams maybe?

[Jenny Dickson @jk_logan]

@AmarLatif_ @UGSchool @RafikiThabo @TheoBlossom @maddiemoate Oooh do you have links to Uddingston grammar? I went there + my 3 kids are there + coincidentally my old colleague Janne Pilbeam may have just climbed with you for Rafiki Thabo. Massive congratulations, such a tough mountain to conquer (speaking from my 2014 experience!! 💪 🏔️)
