@KateFantom We have solar PV, battery, ASHP (11 months), 2 EVs (2nd since Christmas) in a 4-bed detached. Our average electricity bill for last 12 months is £42/month. Octopus overnight rate going down to 3.5p from 1 April for 3 months. Autumn and winter will be ⬆️ no doubt.

@covidbagofdicks @Kenneth33071904 @txgermanbre Did that in Dec bro. Had one already, switched the no.2 for EV. An almost prophetic move.

Zack: "Nigel Farage is a sore loser and he just lost an election badly" Anyone also notice how hostile this interview was from the Sky presenters.

@RogersHistory @ProudHeadTeach1 The real scandal is in smaller MATs where CEO salary is £50+ per pupil.

[wobbegong @teppichhai]

@barton_jw @RogersHistory This is where the real scandal is. Those CEOs whose salary is £50+ per pupil.

[wobbegong @teppichhai]

Exactly the right approach WM. The £/pupil is the important metric. Harris CEO = £12/pupil, Leigh = £18/pupil on 2024 salaries. The real scandal is with much smaller trusts still paying large salaries. There are trusts where the CEO salary is far more per pupil than these…

[Warwick Mansell @warwickmansell]

Pedantic point, but Harris listed here as sixth-biggest academy trust, presumably based on no of schools.I go on pupil numbers, more clearly linked to income and staff nos, which has long put it 2nd.

@warwickmansell @cierzo1 Gardening leave of absence 👀 In his defence, his salary isn’t outrageous. There are MAT CEOs paid 3x £/pupil than he is.

@CovidDataReport Believe my OH and I this week. Only lasted 4-5 days. Cough initially, then mild fever, runny nose, general malaise. Eldest son had it start of Nov unvaxxed and was much more pyrexic, with worrying urine colour.

[wobbegong @teppichhai]

@SchoolsWeek Great to see a CEO suggesting a pay cap. Keziah was paid around £16 per pupil in her trust year ended August 2024. That’s very good value as far as CEOs go. Lowest I’ve found is £8 at the Coop MAT.

Smart, because they understand risk and how to mitigate it.

Independent thinkers, because they often go against the social norm.

Highly resistant to social and / or peer pressure.

This is exactly what happens when a novel seasonal influenza strain meets a population with Covid-induced immune dysregulation; it's not 'like Covid again', it's the ongoing and continuous effects of Covid.

@Earth2075 We’re on course to be £10 cheaper this month as an all-electric household than the same month last year. I’ll take that, as the summer months were much cheaper thanks to no gas standing charge and great DHW COP.

After the video I posted last week about the motherhood penalty, and how the invisible load expected of mums has seeped into the workload issues in a female-dominated profession, this just takes it further. Teacher maternity pay compared to the rest of the public sector makes

[Steve B @75ThunderRoad]

Here's a tragedy:

A teacher has recently had a Covid infection.

It's the third time that they know of.

They have, once again, been very ill.

They are concerned about the impact of multiple infections on their health.
They feel their baseline health has deteriorated.

1/🧵

[wobbegong @teppichhai]

@75ThunderRoad I say that it’s because I value my health very highly. Everyone around me can see that it’s beneficial but noone is prepared to be brave enough to claim those health benefits to themselves.

[wobbegong @teppichhai]

@75ThunderRoad I am very fortunate to have a supportive employer who doesn’t question my masking. If they did, I would point to my attendance record, and the fact that I’ve only had time off (2days) in last 3 years for fractured bones. I would point to colleague who had heart attack after Covid

[wobbegong @teppichhai]

@75ThunderRoad or the colleague whose arthritis flared up massively after Covid, or the colleague with permanent breathing issues after Covid, or the colleague who tragically died in their sleep 3 months after last Covid infection. I could go on. When any students ask me why I’m masking

@scottiebateman Thanks for keeping everyone safe Scott.
