Tax and development policy analyst at OECD which may explain some of my tweets, but not necessarily all of my views which remain my own, especially on Skyr.

@AvantiWestCoast is there any update on this - still appears to be impossible to book the train I would like on december 29

[Joseph Stead @jwbstead]

@AvantiWestCoast why can't I book tickets for travel on 29 December - you offer them to me, but then say there are no seats left, but this is for every train, even in first class.

[Joseph Stead @jwbstead]

Sadly I've chosen c) both trying to fly and being truthful which seems to mean I either have to pay for my seats to be sat with my 1 (and later 2) year old son, or, with apologies to the others on the flight, let him sit with strangers

[Joseph Stead @jwbstead]

@easyJet you tell me I have to buy a ticket for my child as they turn two during the trip, but then you won't let me insert his passport details to check in because he's under two. What am I supposed to do?

[Joseph Stead @jwbstead]

I think the lesson I am learning here is that you should either a) avoid at all costs flying with a child that turns two between the outbound and return trips or b) lie about your childs age on online check-in and hope to sort it all out at the airport.

@AvantiWestCoast From Macclesfield to London on 29 December to arrive in London around 12 noon

[Joseph Stead @jwbstead]

@AvantiWestCoast And it seems to the the same on 28 December too...

[Joseph Stead @jwbstead]

@AvantiWestCoast Yes I know there are engineering works, and the journey details has the replacement bus etc there, but I still can't buy a ticket. Are you telling me that you have reached full capacity for the morning of 29 December, and if so why say tickets are available?

@RevRichardColes Our holiday last year was in the heart of comté country, one of the cheese mongers in the town had a vending machine in case you needed comté in the middle of the night

Whilst I was his best man Matt has consistently proved he's a better man than me. The way in which he has responded to his stroke is truly awe inspiring, and his new blog well worth a read https://t.co/TAeiEtQm3E

@oldenoughtosay As a general rule going earlier means much quieter, I've still not really worked out what French familes do in the morning, but they're not in our local park, but everyone is there 4-5pm.

[Joseph Stead @jwbstead]

@oldenoughtosay The permanent collections of the Paris museums (https://t.co/9JWR8vVPwA) are free - i took my daughter to the Musee d'art Moderne last week and she happily spent a couple of hours there (with some laughing at the bottoms in some of the paintings)

I am pleased to share that we just released a new Tax and Development case study, reflecting on Kazakhstan's decade-long collaboration with the @OECD & @TIWB_News to tackle tax avoidance and strengthen the country's transfer pricing framework.

@rcolvile Try living in France, four in May

[Joseph Stead @jwbstead]

@pranavdotexe @BrentToderian The improved infrastructure is definitely part of it, but I also think the increase in availability and lower price (and grants) for ebikes has also made a big difference, people more willing to cycle if don't arrive tried/sweaty

[Joseph Stead @jwbstead]

@Chris_arnade How many places have you had to apply for a full visa and not just a visa waiver/e-visa application? It's usually only the full visa application that requires the detailed travel history so as a US passport holder you probably get to avoid it for a lot of places (as do I as UK)
