@SoVeryBritish @RobTemple101 “So so.”

It’s staggering just how many responses British people have to “how are you?” “Fine” “Surviving” “Getting there” “Living the dream” “Fair to middling” “Same old” “Bearing up” I could go on. The list is practically endless.

@fesshole ‘Main’ present was always from us and the sack presents were from Father Christmas.

I hate the idea of my son believing in Santa/elves and that they bring him his presents. Am I selfish for wanting the credit for buying them for him? I work hard to provide for him and I don't want some imaginary twats taking credit for it.

@ilovenostalgia Still do it!

Does anyone else have an old memory of all the coats and jackets being thrown on your parent's bed when people came over? Did I dream this?

@MusharafAsghar Thoroughly enjoyed your speech at our recent early years conference. Very inspiring! 👏👏

Today I turn 27 YEARS OLD. Which means 11 YEARS AGO I was on Educating Yorkshire. I am so fortunate to live life sharing the power of teachers. I am proud to be someone who stammers, something one teacher helped me to accept in the classroom. Thank you to everyone for the continuous support #EducatingYorlshire #PowerOfTeaching #ThankYou

@Pandamoanimum And Starbursts are still Opal Fruits!

Twitter to rebrand as X later today. Maybe I’m just old, but fuck that. I’ll still be calling it Twitter. I mean, ‘Olay’ is still ‘Oil of Ulay’ as far as I’m concerned, I still call a ‘Daim bar’ a ‘Dime bar’ and ‘Lilt’ will never be ‘Fanta Pineapple & Grapefruit’ to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

@mhdksafa Yes

Do you hold the door open for the person behind you regardless of their sex, age, color, religion, appearance or ability to say thank you or not? Just yes or no?

@BBCBreakfast @BBCNews 💙

'West Ham are the best club in the world' On #BBCBreakfast it's all nearly too much for one young fan after West Ham won their first major trophy for 43 years with Europa Conference League final victory over Fiorentina bbc.co.uk/sport/live/foo…

@RogersHistory I left teaching last summer after 26 years. Was hoping to teach until I retired but work life balance became unmanageable. Worried about pension contributions but reevaluated my priorities. So many experienced, highly qualified teachers leaving 😩

I know there’s been talk of this country running out of teachers for years, but I genuinely think that ‘talk’ will soon become a reality. Not a shortage or cutting corners - literally no one to stand in classrooms in front of classes. Wonder what happens then? It’ll be too late.

@Mr_M_Dent @PieCorbett Wonderful! 👏

Today I was tracked down by an ex-pupil and received this message. The moment I read this, I burst with pride and emotion. This is what we do it for, fellow teachers. 😭 😊🙏🏽

@TheTeacherWins You can put it down!

@BBCSpringwatch Adder spotted at Wisley Common, Surrey.

@emmccatt Yep

@samuelcwhart A colleague of mine brought round a lovely ready meal, pre prepared salad and two bottles of beer. So thoughtful and I remember this 23 years later.

Two close friends have just welcomed their first baby into the world. What's something that first-time parents would love to get as a gift but never do??

@mrdanwalker Magnificent 💙💙

These 2 send me over the edge every time. The power of friendship #RobBurrow #SirKevinSinfield

@RetirementTales When I started teaching 26 years ago this was a regular thing. The office phoned orders ahead so everything was ready as we arrived. Friday pm always happened to be ‘choosing’ too 🤣 Then there was the crafty cigarette at break in the shed behind my classroom.

In the old days, some teachers used to head to the pub for lunch on a Friday. It was a well-being thing, before well-being was a thing. Join us tomorrow for a pub lunch. It'll be like old times, except now it's virtual. Order your drink, bar meal & jukebox song here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🥛🍽🎶

@SoVeryBritish Just got back from Valencia. Discovered some black steps outside a church which were so warm from the sun. We returned there several times during our visit for a warm sit down.

Shoutout to everyone who goes on holiday, sees all the main sights and famous landmarks, yet ends up with their favourite bit being a random moment in a nondescript place. “The best part? No, not the cathedral. Probably the sandwich we had in that petrol station when it rained”

@Rylan Do this with emails regularly. Wine, write ranty email, scheduled send then cancel in the morning!!!

Lately I’ve been writing tweets I WANT to send but professionally think I shouldn’t. I then save them to my drafts and let them sit there so I feel like I’ve sent it but I haven’t. That’s my slight release for the day 😂
