@SamaHoole Same in teaching. Told what to do by a government official with no background or qualifications in education. No one asks the teachers.

A British school dinner in 1975 was cooked on-site, from whole ingredients, by a dinner lady who knew, without consulting a nutritional database, what a growing child needed to eat. The dinner was: roast beef, gravy from the drippings, boiled potatoes, cabbage, and sponge pudding with custard made from eggs and milk. Or shepherd's pie from real mince. Or liver and onions. Or fish on Friday, battered and fried in beef dripping. In a single sitting: haem iron from the meat, calcium from the custard, B12 from the liver, vitamin A from the gravy fat, vitamin D from the eggs, zinc from the beef, omega-3 from the fish, collagen from the gravy, complete protein from every component, and roughly 800 calories dense enough to carry a child through an afternoon of running around a playground in January. Then the system changed. In the 1980s and 1990s, local authority catering was outsourced. On-site kitchens closed. Dinner ladies were made redundant. Central production kitchens began manufacturing meals reheated in convection ovens. The roast beef became a turkey twizzler. The shepherd's pie became a pre-formed disc of processed potato and reconstituted meat product. The liver disappeared entirely. The fish was coated in breadcrumbs and fried in vegetable oil. The custard was made from powder, water, and yellow colouring. The sponge pudding was replaced by a yoghurt tube. Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaign filmed children who could not identify a tomato. Kitchens where the only equipment was a deep fryer and a microwave. Menus that contained less nutritional value in a full week than the 1975 dinner contained in a single sitting. The government pledged reform. But the on-site kitchen did not come back. The dinner lady did not come back. The roast beef and the liver and the custard made from eggs did not come back. The 1975 dinner lady, who had no nutritional qualification and had never heard of a DIAAS score, was producing, at approximately 30p per serving, a meal that contained more bioavailable nutrition than anything the modern system produces at three times the cost. She has been replaced by a supply chain. The supply chain is more expensive. The children are less well fed. The dinner lady knew what she was doing. Nobody asked her.

@dilipjain077 Because he’s more interested in his phone

This men goes viral because he lost his child 😭😂

@DeputyGrocott 14 or 15

Now this is really interesting! What’s your banana of choice? Think I’m a 6 or 8.

@Mr_Husky1 Nobody in this world can pronounce mischievous properly. Or marshmallow

Admit it: Your kid mispronounced a word three years ago and now the whole family says it that way. What's the word in your house? (We still say 'pasketti' and I’m not stopping anytime soon.)

@LivingTricks_ Nona of Tina

Read it again carefully. The answer is literally right in front of you 😏

@benonwine Zero

If you went to school in the 70s/80s/90s How many kids did you know with gender dysphoria?

@beyoncegarden It’s a TORTOISE!!!!!!!!

the concept of the turtle actually winning is frying me😭

@SamaHoole Gerald is my spirit animal

A film crew arrived on Tuesday with a drone, a budget, and a 4,000-word researcher's brief about the environmental damage caused by British beef farming. What they found was Gerald. Gerald was in the south corner. 9:30am - The drone went up. Gerald watched the drone for approximately three seconds, concluded it wasn't interesting, and went back to grazing. Thirty seconds of footage: bull, ignoring drone, eating grass. Not the footage. 11:00am - The researcher asked the farmer about Gerald's methane output. The farmer explained the biogenic cycle. The researcher said that wasn't in her brief. The farmer said it was in the peer-reviewed literature. The brief did not contain the peer-reviewed literature. 12:30pm - The cameraman asked if Gerald could do something. The farmer: "Like what?" The cameraman: "Something more active." Gerald lay down in the south corner. Gerald had been awake since 5am and had grazed eleven acres. Gerald found the cameraman's schedule irrelevant. 1:00pm - The producer walked the south corner with an ecologist who was there on a separate Natural England survey. The ecologist pointed out the seven wildflower species. The Bombus humilis. The dung beetle activity. The lapwing pair. The producer: "Is this because of the cow?" Ecologist: "Yes." Producer: "Can we use that?" Ecologist: "You're making a film about Gerald being a problem." Producer: "...Can we use it anyway?" 4:00pm - They left. The documentary has a two-star rating on streaming. The south corner has a UK priority bee species. Gerald is in the south corner. Gerald has not seen the documentary. Gerald does not have a streaming subscription.

@MAMAYIWE No it isn’t. It is ignored. You might get antibiotics.

A sinus infection, also called Sinusitis, occurs when the nasal sinuses become inflamed. It often causes facial pressure, congestion, thick mucus, and headaches. This is how it is treated 🤧 You can almost feel the relief on his face ❤️😍

@HaYoMiDe_ Drag me to hell

She had an árgument with her man and started walking backward🎥🫣

@Switch_900 @NotFarLeftAtAll Where does it say they should lose learning time to use them?

Had a similar thing with my daughter. So their school have 4 working toilets for 500 girls. They have other toilets but these are locked. Then when students ask to go to the toilet in lesson they are told no. Let alone it is a human right! This is what the DFE guidance is. These schools are turning it to such bad actors. Worst then prison in some cases. More needs to be done.

😢 He needed to go to the toilet and his teacher said he should have gone in break time … he couldn’t hold it and all his class laughed at him 🤬

@Araoluwanimi01 Land.

You’re given $2m. You have 20 minutes to spend it. You can’t spend it on cars, airplanes, yacht or a house. You can’t spend it on golds or diamonds either. What will you buy??

@ThoNg676733 I don’t see race. I see entitlement and ignorance. Why does her bag need its own seat?

Respect that man and what he does for that country. He chose to protect you and that country with his life show damn respect.

@Simon_Ingari The team-player ploy is low, cheap and isn’t even usually true. I’m raging.

So she went on her trip, attended the wedding, and came back on Monday. That same day, HR called her into a meeting and told her she had abandoned her responsibilities and had shown a lack of commitment to the team. She was completely confused and asked, “What are you talking about? My PTO was approved a month ago.” Honestly, if I were her, I would have been losing my mind. HR then said, “Your manager expressed concerns about your dedication, and we’ve decided to let you go effective immediately.” She asked to see the documentation supporting that decision. They couldn’t produce anything. No written warnings. No performance issues on file. Nothing. Just her manager’s word. Then she calmly pulled out her phone and said, “I actually have a recording of the entire Teams conversation where he approved my PTO and tried to guilt me into canceling. It’s all right here.” HR’s face went completely white. They suddenly said they would “look into the situation” and ended the meeting. That was four days ago, and nobody has heard anything since. She’s currently talking to a lawyer. The moral of the story? Some companies will absolutely try to gaslight you—so document and record everything.

My coworker just got fired for literally the pettiest reason. She was just terminated, and honestly it has me a little scared now. This girl was one of the top performers on our team. She consistently hit her metrics and never caused any problems. Last month, she submitted a PTO request for her sister’s wedding with three weeks’ notice. The manager approved it in the system, so she booked her flight and hotel—none of it was refundable. Then, two days before she was supposed to leave, her manager messaged her on Teams. He said, “Hey, I know you have PTO scheduled, but we really need you for this client presentation. Can you push your trip?” She replied, “No, I can’t. It’s my sister’s wedding. Everything is already booked.” He responded, “Well, this is a really important client, and I need you to be a team player here.” She stood firm and said, “No, I’m taking my approved PTO.” After that, he didn’t respond.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ And he has PLENTY OF SPACE.

Do you think the lady should have been paying attention? Was it her responsibility to get out of his way? I think he is 100% wrong. 💯

@TheEXECUTlONER_ What. A. Dick. She’s not facing him and he’s silent until moments before he arrives. What kind of twat squirts water in someone’s face like a tantrumming baby!?

@WaguanBro Are you all tripping? That’s anaconda.

This reflects a serious lack of awareness of danger. Wild animals like cobras are unpredictable and highly dangerous. Respect and distance are essential for safety, please don't play with cobra .

@WHLeavitt @JohnCleese A

Burqas and niqabs are banned in public in Denmark. A Danish minister has called face coverings ‘incompatible with Danish values.’ Do you think other Western countries should follow suit and deport radical Muslims A. Huge Yes B. No

@RMClaims I can’t dm you. It says I don’t have permission. Send me a human being’s email address please.

We're sorry to hear this has happened, your reference is CRN48002313. Send us a DM with your email address and an active phone number so we can look into this with the team and assist you further.

@RMClaims No, because he said it would be in the email he didn’t send me.

@Lovelang76 Do you have a confirmation number?

@RoyalMail I was on hold for 45 minutes to lodge a complaint about your “service”. The email with my reference number hasn’t arrived so now I have to spend another 45 minutes on hold to get your mess sorted out. Your website and app are moronic. Do something about it!
