Deputy Head at Hampton Court House. I take a teacher's responsibility for political neutrality seriously, so won't post my political opinions in a public forum.

Just been told by @bt_uk that I cannot make a SAR for a copy of the log of my complaint. @ICOnews Post sales order management team does not know how to contact data protection team!

@bmstores we appreciate your Welsh in #pwllheli but “stationary” is wrong in both languages.

@BBCNews and @bbceducation
What supermarket own brand cola costs £1.76 for 500ml? And even if it did, should this article really be suggesting it is reasonable to spend two thirds of your budget for your child’s lunch on half a litre of cola?!

@andrewbanks @FloraSCooper I think you have misunderstood. She hasn’t asked the pupils and staff not to come. Just those extras she had called for the previous day. Which is clearly the right call.

@ABritInBrussels @FloraSCooper Health inspectors only report on whether the health & safety guidance is followed and a top score simply means no failings. They don’t tell you how good the food is. They leave that to the Michelin guide etc.

@DunelmUK 30 minutes to get a VAT receipt in your store. The first 20 minutes of which was a series of managers telling me you don’t and can’t issue one. Why can’t you display the VAT as standard? Most places manage it!

[Jon Hind @JonWLHind]

I’m disappointed by the inaccuracies in this misleading article by ⁦@ChrisMasonBBC⁩ as the VAT exemption on education services has nothing to do with whether a school has charitable status. I expected better of ⁦@BBCNews⁩ https://t.co/wjYyiXA9jy

@robotmaths Wait a mo. Huge amount in your reply that wasn’t in the original. State pension. Index linked. OC (What’s that? I’m guessing not Orange County)
Your original statement was £4k now vs £15k at 66 and a lat is needed to assume that is worth the trade.

@JWhis35 Yay. #whis4PM
Go for it Coz.

@johnfoster70 @jonsopel It may not be verbatim, but the sense is not corrupted.

@charlie_pearce @chrislhow @MarkK58 @susie_dent And the important thing is not whether the letter is a vowel or a consonant in the classification of letters in the alphabet but whether is it a vowel or consonant sound ie whether it is made whilst opening or closing your mouth.
So a uniform for an RAF officer. A Euro but an MP.

[Jon Hind @JonWLHind]

@charlie_pearce @chrislhow @MarkK58 @susie_dent Ahh, well people say all sorts of things. But the basic principle behind a/an is more “natural” to flow from vowel to consonant to vowel than vowel to vowel or consonant to consonant. Other languages have the same.
French le/l’ - le nez, l’oeil.
Welsh y/yr - y garn, yr aur.

@chrislhow @HilaryMilburn @MarkK58 “An ‘ospital” or “A hospital”. At least that’s what Fowler’s Modern English Usage has recommended since 1926. I love that hostel and hotel are both the same French word arriving in England at the different times, bringing with them very different expectations of standards!

@timothy_stanley Lower case s on sir? Tim, that doesn’t seem like you. Hope you are well.

@educationgovuk @PHE_uk If that’s the state of the child’s hands I’m sure everyone’s first thought will be #Coronavirus

Once arrived at an event and they barred my way & were nasty with it.
'D'you have a ticket?'
'No, I don't. I'm-'
'Then you'll have to leave. It's sold out. You can't come in.'
'If I leave then so does everyone else as they've all paid to hear me speak.'
Red faces all round. 🙃

@lynnesandgate @BiddleIan @acgrayling I have fallen for them sometimes and it’s annoying for a moment but I am glad people do them. But I understand your perspective.
