@SamiraAhmedUK I didn’t realise you could still get it! Haven’t seen it since I left school. Ditto wooden rulers, ‘rough books’ and those little notebooks for spelling tests and French vocab.

On Saturday I went into a Ryman's to buy blotting paper. The young assistant knew exactly where it was - "in a very odd place" - (next to the pens) and as I paid politely asked what it was for. So I told her. I feel so delightfully old and wise..

@mrdanwalker Never the same after you left. BBC obsessed with pushing everything online. Utterly out of touch and indifferent to core audience.

Really sad to hear about the end of Football Focus. I loved that show growing up. I used to watch it every week with my dad and I remember how proud he was when I got the job. It was such a privilege to sit in the chair for 12 years, work with an amazing team on and off air and form so many lasting friendships. Saturdays were always special. The football landscape is constantly changing and it’s disappointing that there isn’t space for a show that has meant so much to so many people for so many years.

Flown to EU. Passed the EES machine tests, sent to egate which sent me to manual. Long queue. Complained and taken through EES again with official watching. Go to egate. Did so. Rejected again. Allowed to push in manual Q half way, thanks to kind official. To call it snail pace an insult to snails. Waiting.

The special event fare has been confirmed for a journey that usually costs $12.90 (£9.50) for a return ticket. That price will be $150 (£110.75) during the tournament. The stadium will host eight matches, including an England group game, and the final on 19 July.

@BBCSpotlight We couldn’t hear a word Anna Varle was saying outside Charmouth fire station. Would it not have made more sense for her to have stood somewhere else or asked the people to stop chanting for 30 seconds?

IN an extraordinarily stupid statement, Waitrose has just declared its stores are effectively a free-for-all. The company has publicly confirmed staff are told not to tackle shoplifters. How do they think this feeble policy will lead to less theft??

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump I think that ship sailed a long time ago Piers. The marbles have been well and truly written off by the loss adjusters. Time to invoke the 25th.

@JuliaHB1 @TheSun Brexit brought no tangible benefits, despite all the lies that were told to convince people to vote for it, and our former closest ally can no longer be relied upon. Makes absolute sense.

@TiceRichard Name one tangible benefit that came from leaving the EU, and not a lot of old waffle about "sovereignty".

ABSURD Starmer’s ludicrous suggestion to get closer to the EU, a failing economic bloc that has also a long track record of failing to invest in defence. Let’s remember the EU became way too reliant on Russia for gas so their judgement is not to be trusted We must use all our own energy treasure of oil and gas We must invest in our own sovereign capabilities This is why my British Sovereign Wealth Fund plan is so critical

@jonsopel To be fair, Tudor is a symptom rather than the problem. A poor appointment by a board with no ambition. The root causes of the shit we are currently in go back years.

In Britain, businesses are banning workers from applying to jobs and internships because they are white in order to tackle ‘white privilege’ This is blatant racism. Today my lawyers have officially filed a claim against one such scheme. This has got to be the start of ending these unfair scheme. I nor anyone else, shouldn’t be denied an opportunity just because of my skin colour We will change this
