@lewisnyman @bevan777 Haha! Thanks @lewisnyman :) Sounds as if you've got the right idea!

[Helen Keevy @pricklychicken]

@trussliz can you just get the bill paid so that people who have been suffering for years can be re-united with their families. Or can we take the same approach with our tax bills? Ignore them for 50 years? #FreeNazanin

@rshill1973 Thanks Rob!

[Helen Keevy @pricklychicken]

@BrightonHoveCC Thanks Brendan. Everyone I've spoken to assumes it's 1,000, and I know it was that in 2017.

[Helen Keevy @pricklychicken]

@BrightonHoveCC Please can you tell me when and why you changed the number of signatures needed for a petition to be presented to the council from 1,000 to 1,250? Thank you.

Hi folks! I’m running this online workshop on 18 August to help businesses stop wasting money on Facebook Ads that don’t work and make the whole idea of running social ads feel less scary 💛

DM me for a 50% discount code if you can’t afford the full price, no questions asked 🌟

@WriteoCreative Love the name! Try SEO your site for your local area and create a Google business listing. I got a number of my original clients directly through local searches.
Job boards I have only ever found a waste of time tbh.

This today... and applies to many countries other than the UK.

“SO YOU DON’T LIKE RACISM, BUT YOU’RE IN THE UK AND FEEL POWERLESS TO DO ANYTHING?”

I have had several conversations with friends who have recently felt powerless as to what they can/should be doing in response to some of the atrocities in the US.

Here are some ideas. 1/?

When you write to make sure every sentence doesn't start with 'we' and the copy isn't full of meaningless adjectives and it comes back with every sentence changed to start with 'we' and looking like someone attacked it with an unrivalled adjective spray gun. *sigh* #copywriting

[Helen Keevy @pricklychicken]

@Sushipink22 Only if a knitting needle would pass as one :)

I’m afraid this is simply not true, @MattHancock.

In real terms, it equates to an annual percentage increase of 3.4%.

Ie: *lower* than the average % increase of 4% since NHS founded in 1948.

And *substantially* lower then the 6% increases under Brown & Blair.

Facts matter.

@mecheledesign @PhraseCreative @procopywriters My ideal is to work with the designer and/or developer from the beginning. So many great ideas can come out of that initial interaction - even if it's just an informal discussion over a cup of coffee to make sure we're in agreement over what the priorities are and what's needed.

[Helen Keevy @pricklychicken]

@STEcopywriting Once, to confirm they've received it. I have had a couple of cases where it's gone to spam, especially if they haven't emailed me at any point.

[Helen Keevy @pricklychicken]

@WOOLWORTHS_SA It was at Constantia Village last week. I'm glad to hear it shouldn't be like this.

[Helen Keevy @pricklychicken]

@WOOLWORTHS_SA so much for the green credentials you're claiming. You're already one of the most over-packaged food shops in the country. Every other bakery does fine without individually wrapping EVERY SINGLE ITEM. #plasticwaste

[Helen Keevy @pricklychicken]

Just had the privilege of visiting #Ethiopia with @tadeletravel . If you're thinking of going there, don't look any further. Their guides are exceptional and I can't imagine any travel company matching their care and respect for this unique country.

Want a side-splitting laugh and to see a unicorn impersonation you'll never be able to forget? Cape Town, from next week. You can even bring your own unicorn for free.

@espirian Thanks for sharing that. I'm a big fan of Tip 5 - reading out loud.
