Day job is journalism, PR and lecturing to finance an expensive stationery habit. Less pricey addiction to media, sport, music, books. @crimereviewuk co-editor.

If you’ve got your feet up this weekend (I’m reclining on the sofa with a mug of green tea and a piece of choccie yule log to hand), please catch up with the new edition of Crime Review. We’ve got ten reviews and an interview with author Nadine Matheson. https://t.co/y6HG9ddXQJ

@glynmottershead Good luck, Glyn!

@10Yetis Setting aside the hairstyles and kipper ties, they pointed out that so many of the themes are relevant now. 2/2

@10Yetis "Wild? I was livid!" A little while back, one of my seminar groups analysed Not The Nine O'Clock News. None of them had seen it before, but a couple of them spent a weekend binge-watching the DVDs. 1/2

And who'd have thought that banking was once a vaguely respectable profession. 6/6

[Sharon Wheeler @lartonmedia]

More tone-deaf customer service and disability unfriendliness from serial offenders @NatWest_Help whose rationale for closing branches is that no one uses them. I wonder how they'll manipulate figures for the Cheltenham branch when they want to axe it. 1/?

[Sharon Wheeler @lartonmedia]

And actually, don't bleat to me either that you're short-staffed. That's not my problem. I expect a prompt and efficient service, not excuses. 5/

Never underestimate the value of vox pops!

“We just can’t shake Sir John!”

We spent an hour being tailed by the local MP in the 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 Tory seat as @lewis_goodall tried to find anyone who’ll be voting for him…

Great work from UWE MA Specialist Features student Cristina Pinuaga Diaz - their profile of Bristol City Council's youngest councillor is in Bristol 24/7.

@Paulwiltshire @uniofglos Good luck with your retirement adventures, Paul.

@10Yetis I think I might have lobbed their club into a bush! Oops!

Some very useful research from UWE colleagues @Grobern , @MarcusKeppel , Sally Reardon and Tom Smith on broadcasting from UK courts. @UWEJournalism @UWEMediaProd

@10Yetis Boom and indeed tish!

@CharlieFelix Great piece, Charlie. It very much explains various quotes I've seen from a number of DoRs/head coaches at National 2 level saying that recruitment is their biggest challenge.

@DianeKemp1 USW and Kent both gone/going. Makes me so mad. We need properly trained journalists as much, if not more, than ever.
