That time of the year again when I have to update my daughters bus pass. Putting the pass on the Swift card is always a challenge and now with the new app just completely broken! I now have to drive to Erdington to activate it. Thank you @TransportForWM for not testing your app.

Last night we celebrated our talented music students with the Instrumental Concert. Gorgeous solo pieces and some familiar tunes! (1/2)

I just took part in the #BigPlasticCount, UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. Here’s what I found really happens to my plastic waste:

♻️13% recycled
🌍19% sent abroad
🔥44% burnt
⛰️24% sent to landfill

This is shocking, right?! @Jochurchill_MP @pow_rebecca

A great set of solo performances from a talented group of kids and young adults. 👏👏👏

@Tesla can you please speak to all charge networks. Super chargers are great but the 10s of apps to use non-super chargers is not! @belib_paris have failed massively with their app. It auto populate the wrong postcode you can’t change it and the payment fails! #evcharging

Well done @Google for enabling repair of new smartphones. Now it’s your turn @Apple

So, I’m trialing Apple News+, why does @Apple think it’s acceptable to show ads in the app when I’m paying for a monthly subscription? When the trial ends I don’t think I’ll bother with it.

Also, a fantastic and emotional performance from the Birmingham Schools Symphony Orchestra. So good to see such great talent playing again live.

Helping Jacob on litter picking in the park yesterday. Two bags, one water storage tank and @BTGroup letterbox cleared of beer bottles and poo bags. 🙈 He did an awesome job and we will be back next week. #suttoncoldfield #litterpicking

@alistairclare At least your son doesn’t have a drum kit like nine does! It’s great when they get better though!
