Hi @SouthernRailUK - the OBS on the 2100-ish from Horsham to Bognor has made the entire train smile. Please give him a pay rise! (and we love the bow tie :) )

So proud of our team’s work to create this stunning transformation, which still celebrates the original house.
As a testimony to the power of #renovation, Leighton House has been a constant source of fascination among visitors since reopening last year. Last week, the former home-turned-museum originally belonging to Lord Leighton, received a royal visit from HRH King Charles III.

When you need replacement hi-vis... (worth noting that 'Unisex' tends to just mean 'we couldn't be bothered to classify it as mens')

These three were very happy to see us on the school run this morning and came trotting over. Less enthusiastic when they realised we weren’t the ones who feed them 😂 @FishersFarmPark

2023 surveys have begun! Our team of experts have been back in the Palace of Westminster to carry out tests and surveys to better understand the makeup of the building.

So what I have learnt from @OctopusEnergy saving sessions, is that we either used very little energy to start with. Or the 'perks' are unlikely to drive mass behavioural change. Hope it's the former!

Oh for the heady days of finding a flight and booking it... Now I remember why I avoid @Ryanair 'Your flight costs £xx, but (4 pages later) wait, you're a family so you *must* all pay to reserve these seats at £17 each'. Right, so it was never the first price, was it?

Call me crazy, but my initial reaction to seeing this would not be to calmly say 'Oh no, what a mess'!!! Does make me glad we have escorts for abnormal loads in the UK and they have to notify before crossing tracks - is this not a thing in the US too? https://t.co/vPEAgryGCR

Another driver, who says he ran to see if everyone was OK, caught the moment on camera.

First @SouthernRailUK services not running as planned…then the first scheduled service cancelled. But 2 trains have gone through the Arun Valley. Too important to stop it seems…

Embarrassingly stuck on the Maths part of the #GCHQchristmaschallenge. Have a hunch as to what the 'final' message is but really bugging me that I can't work it out. Any tips?

Little bit excited that tomorrow our walls will be getting insulation in them! Fingers crossed that at the weekend we can sort out the shoddy job they did insulating the loft of the 10yr old extension (probably 50% insulated at best!)
