@KBW70s @bagshaw2112 I think they we called them coconut mats. Bloody awful!

Who else remembers doing this .. #school

@MemeSouthe @bagshaw2112 My knickers were bottle green! An all girls school where we also had to walk across a road in them to get to the red gra/athletics ground in mid winter. 🥶

@bagshaw2112 Us girls were expected to do it wearing only our navy blue school knickers. No shorts.

@bagshaw2112 I was a gymnast I loved doing this sort of thing when I was older. I’m in my 60s, and pretty sure we didn’t have a mat back then in the 60s! Vaguely remember doing this around the age of six or seven in the infant hall during a PE class.

@conservativeCBr @bagshaw2112 Yep, I’m sure you’re right. Mats were just for landings not for falls! And in the 70s I’m not sure we had mats anyway! At least I don’t remember them

@bagshaw2112 I promise you we didn’t have mats for this - just the wooden gym floor - I’m a 64 year old Brit

@Oberje @bagshaw2112 Yep, this sounds about right! Although I’m not sure we always had a Matt either! I think The thinking behind it all was that mats were for a landing only not for a fall!

@bagshaw2112 TWO inches, you didn't even know you were born! We have ONE inch mats. Blue ones.

@metaverse899 @usskiteam None of us are Olympic level ski coaches, or qualified physicians/Drs. Yet reading some of the comments here you’d think otherwise with judgements made about her injuries or whether she should’ve competed in the Olympics! Leave it to the experts!

@usskiteam Skiing with a ruptured ACL is Trump Level Retardness! 😳

Update: Lindsey Vonn sustained an injury, but is in stable condition and in good hands with a team of American and Italian physicians.

@rwilkinson007 Exceptionally…badly!

This lady refereeing Wales v New Zealand is doing it exceptionally 👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@KanishkaNarayan As our Vale MP I’d really like to see bilingual posters as both languages in Wales have parity. Can you confirm this is the case please?

🚨 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝! 🚨 Fed up of those pesky potholes? 👀 I’m hitting the road in the Vale, determined to get our potholes fixed. Let’s work together for smoother, safer travel. Report a pothole to: potholepatrol@kanishkanarayan.com #ValePotholePatrol

@tfwrail loving the bilingual announces (Cymraeg first) ar y trên Manceinion o’r Gaerdydd. As it should be.! 🙌🏼

Said it before I’ll say it again. If you can afford a holiday that’s fine. But for those of us who can’t, taking your kids to the beach for a paddle, or swim in a river is now a luxury we’ve had taken away. It may not sound like much to you but for us it was everything. So knowing water companies would rather pay their shareholders than look after the infrastructure, why should WE be bailing them out? We should renationalise… who’s gonna look after it better, a company who chose to neglect the system and pay shareholders or us as country owning it again?

@QuriousMr @bazhsw8183 In theory this sounds great, however it wouldn’t address this problem or the current issues state schools are facing in their classrooms: disruptive behaviour, class sizes, pupil social and emotional problems, lack of parental support, staff and funding levels.

Totally agree, but the system should be about raising standards of state schools to the level of private schools. Level up, NOT down. Starting with schools sharing learning best practices and experiential learning, to improve that can bring in more for less. Motivation for critical thinking is key, something not on most curriculum but embedded in private teaching.

🧵 about #class #privilege and #privateeducation. Watching the Olympic swimming last night and Clare Balding said something in such an incredulous tone which summed up the establishment perspective and how their experience differs. 1/

@VictoriaCob2 @bazhsw8183 @laidmanr If your school is in a deprived area, then the PTA may not have the skills or connections to function as well as a PTA in a more affluent area. PTA in affluent areas are likely to be far more effective at fundraising and providing opportunities.

@gazzy_uk @SkyNews The crown estate is not devolved to wales like in Scotland 🤦‍♂️
