@omid9 PS You can literally buy these bags in Otley @UPCOarts

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

@omid9 I was arrested and then sectioned. They gave me my phone back so that I could tweet that your show was the best I've seen at the Courthouse, which tbh isn't saying much (joking of course... The Courthouse is fantastic!). You were brilliant. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

@flufficat @boffwhalley If you knew, you would know that he, and they, will NOT regret it.

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

@ShappiKhorsandi Or... Do you want to live like this (answer no). Then just put things away!
51 years old and that still makes me feel like a total failure.

@liztruss in front of my yr9 SEN students: "are they really special needs or is it just that their primary school teachers were rubbish?" I start to reply, she scoffs and walks off. #hideoustory

and I can count on one hand the number of people I have met that are all of those things. Sadly, one of those people is now our Prime Minister.

I have met many thousands of people during my 51 years on this Earth. The vast majority have been good and lovely human beings. A very small number have been ignorant or bigoted or dishonest or rude or self important or uncaring or, for want of a better word, stupid;

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

I don't want my PM to be someone who told me that my students with special needs didn't have special needs but just had rubbish primary teachers then walked away a I was speaking because she didn't want to hear my reply. @liztrussmp #ToryLeadershipContest #LizForLeader #Teachers

I hate this! I own a shop. The shop is open 9-5 and there is ALWAYS someone there. Obviously. (And this delivery was important to my business). So don't make out you missed me when in fact you missed me OUT. @dpd_uk #behonest https://t.co/PNpiUKFHPk

@LucienVrolijk @ibrahimh1975 @thisisneenz @michellevisage @theebillyporter The first person is harming no-one. The second person is.

Just saying.

It's just one bottle, said a million other people.

So... How were your primary school teachers @liztruss? #teasock

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

@nicktolhurst This is the same woman who visited the secondary school in which I worked, came into my additional needs class, asked if they were "really special needs or was it just the primary schools who were useless?" then literally walked off while I tried to answer... Dreadful person.

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

@JohnLewisRetail you are better than this. How about wrapping in tissue (if at all), send in paper envelope (recycled plastic is still worse than no plastic), keep and reuse the hanger? #ecoretail #plasticfree #plasticfreejuly #noplastic

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

@Wickes That of course is fair enough. So that's all of your Shipley staff exempt then? And, even if exempt, if no mask they shouldn't be coming right up to customers to talk /scan items. Exemption does not mean no risk. I did not feel safe.

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

@Wickes why are NONE of your staff at the Shipley branch wearing masks?

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

@learnmesummat I always used that method. It's so effective. There was also an app that I used to tell the kids about that did the same thing. I can't find it now... It would be a travesty of that has disappeared!

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

@mrallanmaths "And I think think you're boring I still have to look at you for 6 hrs a week" at which point his mates shout "BURN!!!" (or eq) and you a smile and say "let's not judge too early eh?"

Or

Pretend burst into tears and say "Michael thinks this is boring - my life is over! 😭"

[Jo-Ann Lyons @JoLyonsjoann]

Mistakes happen, it is how you put them right that matters. A lot of companies could learn a lot from @NordaceOfficial. Great customer service 🙂
