Those close to the government appear to be realising that UK households have no chance of surviving the coming winter with fuel bills forecast to rise to £4,000 or more a year. But the plan they're looking at is dire. A thread....

@Arnold__Simon @MhairiHunter @Jen4Scot Gaelic, Scots, and English. Doric (rustic Scots) and Attic (educated English) is term for distinguishing the languages from 18th C. Used mainly to denigrate Scots speakers.

@theA9guy @MhairiHunter @Jen4Scot Gaelic, Doric and ?

Interesting. I'm getting unionist-ultra-memed (just in case anyone was wondering who the blood & soil nationalists are).

@Arnold__Simon @MhairiHunter @Jen4Scot Scotland has 3 indigenous languages. Why is asking if you can speak one of them a silly question? I wasn't allowed to speak or read Scots at school, but kept it in my head. While minority languages are still discriminated against it is essential to gather in data.

@MhairiHunter @Jen4Scot I never read anything, other than what had been quoted. The point is, it is a very silly question. Because in London, we have cockney. It's like asking 'Do you understand Cockney' we all know, it's a lot of nonsense that only those in Pubs & Clubs, around London, understand. 1/2

@LaLaDee21 Sybees, NE Scots

Who Do You Think You Are? Season 2122: "it's so... humbling, that 100 years ago... my great-grandad was one of those hardy, salt-of-the-Earth types, who filled their fucking breeks in rage when asked if they spoke Scots on the census. To not see their name listed here today...😢

If you spend a lot of time copying text from PDFs into Word like me, I hope this tip might be useful! If the PDF ends up broken up over lots of lines, there's no need to fix it manually. Just go to find and replace, type ^p into find, and one space into replace. Pics below :)

@Jo_Rodgers_ Well done Jo, excellent conference.

It’s been a joy & privilege to co-organise #TheEdgeUHI with Lesley & the rest of our team over the last 2 years. It’s also been a hugely steep learning curve involving lots of hard work during countless evenings & weekends at a very challenging time. I’m really proud of it 😊

Session 6 at #TheEdgeUHI Conference is 'Edge Effects & Borderlands' (3.45-5.15pm) The final paper in this session is “Conceptualising landscape as an edge effect”, by Dr Rod Lovie

During #COP26 we're celebrating some of the careers of our alumni who're involved in tackling climate change. Rod Lovie, @theA9guy, graduated with a MA Countryside & Environmental Management in 1998 and is now Principal Climate Change Strategy Officer @MorayCouncil #ABDNfamily

@OpenreachHelp Thanks, appreciate this.

@WeAreOpenreach your van was exceeding the speed limit on the b9022 (portsoy to ordiquhill) road at 11.55 through the road surfacing work causing stone chips to crack my windscreen. How can I claim the cost back from yourself or your driver?

@AJ_Watson_ Enjoy your holls, hope you didn't get washed away earlier this week 🌧

@AJ_Watson_ Hi Andrew, keeping great. Just started new job as principle climate change officer for Moray Council. Totaly swamped just now but will get on to corrections soon, then hopefully some journal articles. How are things with you?
