@AskVirginMoney Is this the same for payments out? The money for some standing orders appears to have left one of my business’ accounts but no trace of it within transactions & want to ensure it’s actually gone as we’ll get charged late payment fees from the recipient(s) if they’ve not received

It’s official 🥳

I’m delighted to be joining Petra as one of their UK based technical trainers alongside the wonderfully talented Nic of Two Cents Pizza.

Last week our head chef, Simon went out with Petra Flour UK to see our friends at Stretch Pizza in #hull.
Simon has been a Petra Selected Partner for a number of years now and so was more than happy to share his extensive knowledge of @MolinoQuaglia and their flours

[Il Pirata Pizzata @ilpiratapizzata]

We’re constantly refining our dough recipe at IPP and this weekend is no different.

As well as our usual blend of Petra 0101HP for the initial Biga and 0102HP for the refresh (both type 1 flours), we’ve replaced some of the 0101HP in our Biga with Petra 9, a wholemeal flour.

@pkrpmusic @heidisaint Newcastle is consistently one of the driest cities per Met Office stats & Manchester always seems to be between 10-15th. The majority of the top is held by the west side of the country; Wales, South West, West of Scotland, Lancashire, West Yorkshire etc

@them_apples I know wholesale costs are through the roof and, if they’re like us, then they’ll be having to deal with prices increases every other week so I can empathise. Encountered similar with a local curry house recently too

[Simon Towers @predemption]

@them_apples I’ve only tried one local shop recently so I’m unsure if it’s commonplace, but had the exact same experience. To add insult to injury they forgot a portion of chips too

[Simon Towers @predemption]

@Screwfix Thanks Tracey, will do

@OnionSV @ToonMouthTyne @JoPSmith25 @WBA @ACORNunion Personal abuse is never justified and those minorities were rightly called out by the vast majority of the fan base at the time.

@JoPSmith25 @OnionSV @ToonMouthTyne @WBA @ACORNunion Cognitive dissonance and biases too, Joe.

@OnionSV @ToonMouthTyne @JoPSmith25 @WBA @ACORNunion protested outside SJP a while back because he was evicting a tenant of his in Birmingham who was hospitalised. The reason she was hospitalised was directly from damp & mould within his property he hadn’t fixed 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DrewMillward It’s the musical equivalent of Mrs Browns Boys isn’t it?

[Simon Towers @predemption]

@bravenewmalden Yes and I’m well under 50 (it’s a very common term on red penned engineering markups)

@Brink_Thinker Two great grandmothers (nannas) on my maternal side who lived until their early & late nineties respectively. My daughter (7) has known three (my paternal grandad died last year at 100) and maternal grandparents are in mid-late eighties and still going strong!
