Iโm confused. Panamaโs home kit is red but theyโre playing in white. Englands is white but we are playing in Red with Black (or deep navy) shorts?? ๐ #england
Disgusting customer service from @jaguarlandrove_ Watford branch have failed to fix a warranty issue since Jan 26, took the car in twice and then again on Wednesday knowing we have a wedding to get to. Wrong parts AGAIN. Car not ready, NO courtesy car given ๐ก
@WestMidRailway you are the No1 in the world at awful service. Overpriced, overcrowded, zero customer service, awful delays. You make @Ryanair look amazing.
@LNRailway@WestMidRailway you are the worst. Cancellations, delays, poor communication, the list goes onโฆ yet the fares are still extortionate. And there we were thinking that Ryan Air were the worst. ๏ฟผ๐๐๐
โLose 'no ball games' signs to get nation moving - MPsโ - @BBCNews
https://t.co/qQ7WHU6kDm
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee 'Game On' report, urges the government to legislate to require local authorities and housing associations to remove unnecessary 'no ball games' signs, "to make public spaces more usable for children's play."

It calls for a cross-government strategy to deliver a healthier nation, and an increase in funding to boost participation in local communities.
The MPs want spending on sport and recreation to go from the current 0.3% of total government expenditure to at least 0.6% over the next 10 years, claiming that "funding for school and community sport is insufficient and increasingly unstable".
They also recommend that PE is granted the same status as English, mathematics and science in schools.
Following a year-long inquiry, the MPs' conclude that despite strong demand, committed volunteers, and many successful local initiatives, sport and physical activity "remain under-recognised within national health policy, and that a statutory duty must be placed on local authorities to provide sporting and leisure facilities in their communities".

I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.
Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.
"It's okay," I said. "Take it."
He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.
I used to be a math tutor.
I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"
He nodded. "I don't get it."
I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.
The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.
The day after that, five kids came.
Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."
Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.
Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.
"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."
I'm not closing the bakery.
I think I finally found my purpose.
It's not cookies. It's community.
