@Tess_invests We do not have this issue in Essex. I’m not sure anyone is going to be surprised by this.

@EurostarUK thanks for your excellent customer service and for looking after my family today after my aunt fell at the Eurostar terminal. She’s now in hospital being well looked after. In particular, the taxi to our local hospital was very much appreciated. 🙏

@eveyr Hi Eve, unfortunately at the moment services can’t run past Upminster. We have ticket acceptance with TfL for onward travel

@andrewleigh1985 @c2c_Rail Very sad. People have told me police are on the scene which says all you need to know. As I’m already in London and I need to get a child to school by train the info is well needed! Thank you for sharing what you know.

@andrewleigh1985 @c2c_Rail I don’t get this. Why don’t they just tell us and then we can plan better?
English
@c2c_Rail It’s a fatality not trespassing. Just be honest c2c. The trains aren’t running any time soon

This would be me, if I’d lived in the 19th century.
I read my book while cleaning my teeth 😂😬🪥

This is what 180 years of progress looks like! I've reproduced and updated this beautiful chart from @OurWorldInData showing life expectancy in England and Wales at different ages, since 1841. The data largely speaks for itself but I'll make a few brief observations. 🧵

Just to run the maths on this…
If, as has been suggested, the first pensioner is wearing a @ROLEX that would sell second hand for £5,000, he could bank that and receive around £250 a year in interest. That’s about the same as the winter fuel payment.

This winter, pensioners will have to choose between heating and eating. And that’s on Keir Starmer.

@Tess_invests Do you dislike the wind only when you’re outside in it and it’s ruining your hair (same) or does your wind-anger apply when you’re inside too?
English
People who can see my calendar asking me "when works for you?". Inconsistent use of full stops at end of bullet points. The wind. All of my family, including myself. People who eat on trains.

@pensionscanwork I wanted to incorporate the avocado sink we ripped out of our house when we renovated (only 5 years ago) into the new bathroom. I was not permitted to do this. I am still bitter about it.

This is bringing back the traumas of my childhood.

Could someone please check on the younger generations? This is a cry for help

@eveyr @Tess_invests It’ might be cheaper if you book to York, then York to Scarborough. Do prepare for cows disrupting the line 😁

@Tess_invests Count me in! Although I just checked train prices and think I would have to drive. CRAZY train costs! 😱😱

@stuartsfia I’m pretty much the same! I know Ursa Major and Minor too (big and small dipper) but that’s the extent of my star knowledge 😬. They were much more visible than usual ❤️✨
