Mrs B.

Surprise, surprise! Promised phone call number 2 didn’t arrive from @unitedutilities this afternoon either. Is it too much to ask when we can get on our drive after access was dug up at weekend? Been promised ‘today’ every day since Monday.

@PolyglotElsa Yes, we have recently done it for my dad. Straight forward process and the website guides you through it. It can take a while to come through, we got the probate granted last week from applying at the end of August. A friend received there's in 4 days!

@thosethatcan 19 Yr old said yes as teens interact more with their phones than real people so would take more notice.

Can you help? Sharing this qu once more for research and because the answers were fascinating last time and more would be brilliant. Please ask your nearest young person this question: *Can (or should) teachers be replaced by AI? Then post below what they say? Thanks!

@MENnewsdesk It is talking about Town beach. The picture shown is Flamingo beach which is not affected. Town beach is NOT one of Lanzarote's most popular beaches.

@bev_oldham @katieee_ll Katie wants to know the funding band levels for Tameside, wondered if you might know x

@jo_b72 @katieee_ll I can’t see the original post Jo x

Please be warned, never buy a warranty from @AutoguardUK they do not cover what they say they do on the policy. Complete waste of money!

@bev_oldham It was horrendous! Only lasted 5/10 mins but was so scary. The damage up here is unreal. Thankfully we only have garden damage but others weren't so lucky 😢 x

Wow the damage in Stalybridge/Millbrook/Carrbrook is extensive! Hope all are safe 💙

@EdadventuresM @cosydirect Love this!

A huge thank you to @cosydirect for this amazing nature table. I’ve eventually got it put together ( thanks to phill doing it whilst I was teaching) and it is just the perfect height for my little #tinybitcurious group. Thank you so much 💚 I’m sure they are going to love it.

This Christmas ad for a pub in Enniskillen is better than anything John Lewis has ever put out

@EdadventuresM Just about! Hope you managed to stay awake too! We’re still work in progress but getting there slowly.

@jo_b72 Oh no! Did you make it without falling zzzz . Hope all going well at sch

I don’t know about anyone else but if I set my alarm earlier than normal (to was 5am) I wake up every hour and inbetween sleep so lightly and have vivid horrible dreams that put me in a bad mood! Running on a tiny bit of zzz today so hoping the day is gentle …. It won’t be!

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme. None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why. The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag. Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied. A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight. On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside. On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed: "A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country". On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside. There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard. Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals. A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London. He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey. The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin. It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son... THIS is the reason we wear poppies. We do not glorify war. We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted. Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

@bev_oldham Happy birthday Bev x

Time to celebrate with the family! 💙💙

This video from @NorwichCityFC is the best bit of Mental Health Awareness I’ve ever seen… watch until the end.

@amandarussell35 There’s quite a few of these about. Done by Mr Eggs apparently.

Tameside has its own Banksy lol

A little ask for help … I’m setting up a new area to hold my #tinybitcurious group (little film attached). I was prevented from hosting it at the local woodland despite applying for a license & operating from there for months successfully but they didn’t want me attaching

@MENnewsdesk This is incorrect. Mossley Hollins is no longer outstanding. This was pointed out to you the last time you posted this.
