@STN_Airport Giving this info over PA may actually help somewhat.

@Nora_Carter_ Not tricky, but nerve wracking. Since then I have got more confidence in flying higher and further from launch place. The good thing about flying over water is that you tend not to have to worry about obstacles, as you do in more urban settings.

@SteveReedMP We should re-nationalise the water companies

Starting with Thames Water

As Feargal Sharkey observes, their value is overstated and it's a no brainer

[Surfers Against Sewage @sascampaigns]

😠If ministers believe rehashed pledges and PR spin will silence the roar for real reform of our failing water sector, they’re sorely mistaken.

💰There’s no commitment here to overhaul the profit driven system responsible for the sewage crisis—even slashing pollution by 50% still means 200,000 raw sewage spills a year by 2030.

📢We demand clean water—half measures that perpetuate a status quo where pollution pays are simply unacceptable. Steve Reed and the Prime Minister must stop hiding behind hollow press releases and deliver true change—now.

Well certainly England have enough ducks to get a lot in a row (6 in first innings) #ENGvIND @bbctms

Wouldn’t it be nice, and God only knows. Thank you

I'm delighted that this new paper about High Speed Rail and Air integration in China has been published. The work is part of my excellent PhD student, Mengyuan Lu and co-authored with Edgar Jimmenez @CranfieldUni

@richardosman - after the Ray Car-Hill question on @restisents , have a mind to the Professors at Graduation that have to pronounce around 500 names esp. in a uni with a v international student body. All students have to give phonetic pronunciation guides in advance.

I was just on the Easyjet EZY8084 from Palma to Gatwick. Once we got on board we got an air traffic delay. The captain came out and explained the situation and invited anyone with children who wanted to use the 45 minutes delay to come and visit the cockpit. Once we took off there was medical emergency which meant half the cabin were occupied dealing with the situation. The remaining crew managed to deal with everyone else with good humour and all the passengers seemed to act with respect and patience. When we landed the captain explained that the medical emergency would be dealt with at the front and asked passengers to disembark through tje rear row by row.
I just wanted to say this was the perfect example of how to manage a situation and I wanted to congratulate the captain and the crew because it could not have been handled better.

PATHETIC!

More sewage dumped into the environment in 2024 than ever before. Whatever you're doing it isn't working.

I hope there's a plan B, you're gonna need it.

Denied entry by @AerLingus to the lounge once again. As a @British_Airways Executive Club Silver member travelling transatlantic to Toronto...what am I missing? There's zero acknowledgement of my status despite all the announcements in November. https://t.co/ZuuRsfbS6J

Rather brilliant short film by the sewage campaign network and yes why in God's name is the general public having to do govt's and the regulators' jobs for them?

"I'm the only non-Cornish person involved in it, and I live in Devon so I'm not that far away."

Award-winning author Michael Morpurgo talks to #R4Today about the power of retelling local stories, as one of his books becomes the basis for a new play titled White Horse.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

"Reed has ruled out nationalisation, saying it would cost up to £100bn".

Let me be very clear about this, any reference to a £100 billion cost to nationalise the water industry is a demonstratively, blatant, provable, untruth.

That figure relates to a report commission by 4 water companies @AnglianWater, @stwater, @SouthWestWater and @uugroupplc and referred to by @Dieter_Helm Fellow in Economics, New College, Oxford as "economically illiterate". @tomespiner
