@BrittanyFerries By cruel irony, it's St George's Day, thanks to Easter!

Celebrate the iconic marinière on its special day 🇫🇷 Originally worn by sailors in the French Navy for visibility at sea, the iconic navy and white striped shirt became a symbol of French maritime heritage. 💬 Are you wearing your marinière today? If so, share your pictures with the hashtag #MariniereBF #JourneeMondialeDeLaMariniere #MariniereDay #French #MaritimeHeritage

@annkempster Lots of tennis players, judokas and a very old cyclist still getting around on wheels

@ogeerunner Slightly chinese lantern in the end

@ogeerunner All the rage in Paris

Fire pit Friday. Have to make that a thing. 👀🍻

@ECFRS are you going to follow up @DarrenReform 's vile comments about Autistic people? 🌻♾

@herbalbug @Angelacb14 @Greg_runs_badly "Caution runners" sounds like they're out of control. The way it's placed*, is it more akin to a request to consider up hill traffic. *I can't recall the midsummer munro route.

@Angelacb14 @Greg_runs_badly Yes. I've seen signs with 'caution runners' but never one like this.

Saw this sign today. It's from Trionium. I really don't think it's ok to expect the public to give way to runners on public rights of way. Having permission granted to put on a race doesn't give runners priority over everyone else on the trails.

@SouthernRailUK 3Bridges 0912 to VIC, great to hear guard asking folks to clear bags so folks with hidden needs can get a seat 🌻🌻🌻

@Natures_Voice sorry to find your bird identifier tool's not available on your website. Searching by name isn't the same when you've just got a glimpse of a shape or colour :-/

Get to Know the Bibby Stockholm... - 500+ single adult men crammed onto a barge with a capacity of 222 in normal use (e.g. as accommodation for oil workers) Single rooms: - 2 strangers, sharing an austere metal bunk bed - TV (as mocking and useless as a paperweight: they've been deliberately detuned so they won't pick up anything, to "encourage socialising" apparently) - 1 chair, 1 desk, 1 wardrobe - A window (it's supposed to be able to open; this is touted as a major plus by the barge's owners) - Shower and toilet Slightly larger rooms: - 4 strangers, in 2 bunk beds Communal areas: (Most of the larger ones have been repurposed into dormitories. The thin list below is pretty much all that's left.) - Narrow corridors - TV room with sofas, seating up to 12 people max - Tiny gym - Classroom with seating for perhaps 20, some sort of laptops, and "wifi access" - Bar (off-limits to asylum seekers, and reserved as a "staff lounge") - Multi-faith prayer room - Games room with a pool table and a few chairs - "Outdoor" space surrounded on all four sides by massive walls made up of the 3-storeys of cabins, so you can't see anything other than sky - Canteen dining area (not nearly big enough for 500 people) Other facilities: - Basic meals 3x a day (but note that the canteen seems far too small to seat everyone at once, so presumably there will be shifts coming and going all the time) - Laundry service - On-site nurse 5 days a week - Access to GP if referred by the nurse Beyond the ship: - Airport-style security (metal detectors etc.) - 24/7 guards conducting "robust security checks" - 15ft high fence all around - No pedestrian access to the port or the wider area - Only way to get to Weymouth and beyond is on the occasional shuttle buses - Have to sign register every time they leave The asylum seekers on board are likely to be there between six months and a year or more. They can't work. They will be fed and their clothes washed, but they will have just over a pound a day for absolutely everything else they need. They are expected to spend the overwhelming majority of their time on the barge, where as we've seen there are leisure and learning facilities for maybe 1/10th of people if we're being extremely generous with how we estimate it. It is truly, truly disgusting.

@WeegieInWales @BrittanyFerries @ExmouthShanty Bound for Lorient?

@BrittanyFerries 👌véhicule prioritaire comme on dit aux Mille Bornes. Grand merci.

@rcdl I am sorry to hear this, if you'd like to email full details to existing.bookings@brittanyferries.com and our team will be able to look into this for you ^JE

@BrittanyFerries confused 🌻🌻 advice. Check in rang marshals and advised us to put hazards on. Dockside marshals ignored this, and when queried told us we should have a sticker :-/

@BrittanyFerries Return trip we were given a fast lane sticker, and ended up in pole position. First car off the boat 👍🌻 v. welcome given late hour and tired kids

@EDalmayne Thanks for spot-lighting. Disappointing to hear this sort of "welcome to Holland" from an ambassador @AmbitiousAutism

This is a dreadful interview i hope his son never gets to see it. express.co.uk/celebrity-news…

If you’ve just got off the @BrittanyFerries from Plymouth to Santander and you (your son or daughter) are missing a cuddly squirrel, it was found and handed in at the information desk just before docking. Hopefully that way you can get it back.

@mellowdoubt @abandonedshoes Our foxes aren't half so neat, although they're usually half so greedy.

@clairemalcomson sounds interesting, but can't hear anything :-/

I am actively finding ways to get our local river cleaned up near Dorking Surrey. I've spoken to DEFRA, Thames Water and The National Trust. We could get the Stepping Stones designated as a bathing area to clean up the ecology!!
