@AdamMerrivale ebenezerbangor.org.uk/hebrews/ Ebenezer Evangelical Church in Bangor, really would recommend

CAN YOU HELP? I'm looking for a UK evangelical church that has preached through the whole of Hebrews, in around 20-30 messages, and has audio/video recordings on their website or YouTube. This is for a list of recommended resources I'm putting together for our church. Thanks!

@simonrim @SundayBrunchC4 Nutella not jam? Not sure!

My cornflake tart. Trust me on this one. Tag me if you have a go and let me know what you think. @SundayBrunchC4

@MCRMetrolink @Doug_Paulley any chance you have tried these? They are working now apparently

@Jen_Jen_C Hi Jen, we have heard back from the team to advise that no fault has been found at the help points at MediaCItyUK and they should be working. Can you please confirm if you have tried using it recently?

Hi @MCRMetrolink The help points on both your platforms at MediaCityUK aren't working. They weren't the last time I was here either, years ago, I reported them then too Perhaps they never do?

What is the point in telling people to press the help point on the northbound platform at Arlesey where there isn't one and there's only a stepped footbridge to the other platform? Or to text a number when you never read or respond? @GNRailUK

@MCRMetrolink What have you put in place in the meantime? You mentioned a phone number, is it displayed in both print and Braille at least?

@Jen_Jen_C We don't have a timeframe as of yet I'm afraid.

Hi @Pret the "accessible" toilet in your Bernard Street Branch, near Russell Square, is unusable by wheelchair users. A huge bin in the wheelchair transfer area, other bins make turning around impossible, red emergency cord cut off at ceiling level. A total disgrace.

@MCRMetrolink Thanks for checking, that's disappointing though. What's the date we expect them to be fixed?

@Jen_Jen_C Hi Jen, I have just checked this with the team and unfortunately, the help points are still not in service. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

@MCRMetrolink Can I check if this is fixed yet? Thanks

@Jen_Jen_C An order may have to be placed for the correct parts to fix and install ensuring that it is speaking properly. Alternatively people can always give the team a call on 0161 205 2000 for assistance.

I want to talk about trust and attachment in young children. And there’s no video here for good reason. Several of you have recently tagged me to ask my thoughts on trending videos depicting parents engaging in one appalling behavior or another - in pursuit, apparently, of social media likes. In one trend, parents pretend to be FaceTiming with their child’s new kindergarten teacher and call their child over to meet her. When they get to the phone, the child comes face to face with a photo of a scary looking adult (which in some cases appear to be mugshots of women deep in the throes of drug addiction, if, in fact, they are real at all). The children are almost always alarmed. Often they cry. During one of the biggest transitions in their young child’s life (the start of school), these parents have chosen to stoke anxiety rather than provide comfort. Other recent trends have involved parents in throwing slices of American cheese at their toddlers - or, more recently, unexpectedly cracking a raw egg on their child’s forehead during a joint cooking activity. Obviously I’m not going to uplift any examples here. But I do want to address the harm these kinds of behaviors create from a developmental perspective. The years of early childhood are a time during which trust and attachment are (ideally) formed. With love, attention, and responsive caregiving, young children learn that their world is safe. They develop self worth and self esteem. These are prerequisites to both learning and healthy development. But the key to developing trust is consistency. And the behaviors in these videos - even if rare and anomalous - serve only to undermine healthy attachment between parent and child. They provide children with data points that suggest their parents can be unexpectedly and arbitrary cruel. They are a violation of hard earned trust. Some will argue that these are just jokes in good fun. They aren’t. They are the deliberate infliction of trauma, however brief, for the amusement of strangers. It should go without saying that this isn’t good for children. Please. Don’t. Just don’t.
