Times Feedback

@timthingdom I didn't know that! Thank you

@TimesFeedback Oct 24 page 36, Comment, Ducking the debate. The term duck comes from the Dutch word for cloth, doek.

@NorthumbriaWW1 @northumbriana @HurstPublishers @GreggsOfficial Thank you!

@TimesFeedback Times 30/11/2019 Rose Wild (page 38) For some good examples of the North East language and dialect see @northumbriana Dan Jackson’s new book ‘The Northumbrians’. Hurst Publishers @HurstPublishers is selling like hot ‘stotties’. (from all @GreggsOfficial outlets.

@Offramp_tavanip Thank you - belatedly!

@TimesFeedback Many thanks for another funny and informative column on Saturday.

@Manchestertours Thank you!

@TimesFeedback Rose, there's a simple solution re metric/imperial. Metric belongs solely in the classroom/lab where dividing by 5 or 10 is necessary. In real life use imperial, as dividing by 3 is more important than divding by 5.

@jdunstan @lucysiegle I've asked if we can have Ray Winstone in Sexy Beasts next time

Lucy, I know you don’t choose the pictures but can you have a word with whoever does? This is awful #everydaysexism @lucysiegle @TimesFeedback #sexism

@Offramp_tavanip Yes - or try Amazon

@TimesFeedback An interesting column on 31/8/2019, as usual. Is the Times style guide available in shops?

@sybisib Thank you Sylvia!

@TimesFeedback ....pedants off to Cornwall berating ice cream sellers on apostrophe’s (sic). A blissful picture. Made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

@SPP_AHendry @thetimes Oops

@thetimes Something missing from today's front page... @TimesFeedback #apostrophe 🤔

@frontofstore Yes, completely creepy

@archivedelver Very sorry about this, and sorry for the fine journalists who worked on it. Hope you can get used to digital eventually

@frontofstore It all makes rather horrible reading in hindsight, doesn't it

@obstangler @thetimes @ChrisGPackham Yes, so I gather. Most of them seem to live in the middle of London nowadays anyway

@timesfeedback While popular to say, there are no such creatures as "seagulls" @thetimes Sat 22 June pg4. If you don't know which of the gull family, stick with "gull". @ChrisGPackham

@Legalisecanabo Our style is to use Mr at second mention in news stories except for artists, sportsmen, convicted offenders and the dead. Lack of it does not show lack of respect

@TimesArchive Hi, Address you show under Times column photo @TimesFeedback (you have it in upper case which reverts to what you see here) seems unused since last year? Did you get our style comment about Mr Bob Marley being the correct version as he got Jamaica's Order of Merit.

@Offramp_tavanip That's extremely kind of you, thank you

@TimesFeedback There is an awful lot to like in the Times. One of my favourite columns is the weekly Feedback section by Rose Wild. I always learn something.

@richmondie Full explanation - or another theory, anyway - tomorrow

Or perhaps quibble in context

@TIMESFEEDBACK PEOPLE with a lot of crotchets are crotchety. Wellington couldn't spell. A crotchety is a fad or bee in bonnet.

@dbmhayes @thesundaytimes @thetimes yep

@chriskhickman @Proud_Sappers Times obits have always been unsigned - allows impartial comment

The obits in The Times are *fascinating* - this guy @Proud_Sappers 👍 (you can zoom in) (remind me why the author is uncredited @TimesFeedback?)

@CrosswordNick See explanation tomorrow!

@Timesfeedback - Wellington and the lace-making, no: a difficulty or grouse of some sort: think crochety

@seanmhade Thank you, belatedly!

@TimesFeedback "oxters" in common use in Ireland too, probably unsurprisingly. Good column today.

@RichardKerley top joke

@TimesFeedback Old sailing/ornithologist joke: 'What's difference between a cormorant & a shag? You never forget your first cormorant'
