@ParkinginSheff Moves to ban/reform pavement parking would need to be done on a hyper-local basis, taking into account the needs of the residents and visitors. A blunt instrument is not the solution.

@ParkinginSheff It's not that straightforward, unfortunately. Pavement parking is a problem on my street. But there's also too few marked bays. With careful consideration you can park so that there's space to let a wheelchair through on the pavement and vehicles passed, but it's not easy.

England next please.

@Ayohugh @TorstenBell HMT staff mainly. Decompressing after working on the Autumn statement.

@TorstenBell Is that Cabinet Office or the Treasury? 🤔

They are at it

@donkor_akosua @Munene_Linturi And even if it would, it's a split second decision. Driver is a hero in any case.

@Munene_Linturi No. It wouldn’t. The bulldozer would’ve capsized if it wasn’t for the car.

this man is a hero

@HJB3996 @vicdevine @mikeyjavery @anon_opin Agreed. Neither I or my children have, so we're allowed. 👍

@PW507 @vicdevine @mikeyjavery @anon_opin Anybody who behaves poorly should be banned from a pub.

@PW507 @vicdevine @mikeyjavery @anon_opin Seems to be plenty of people have seen the former and nobody has witnesses the latter.

@vicdevine @HJB3996 @mikeyjavery @anon_opin There's a false equivalence between bringing kids to a pub and changing a poonami where there's food and drink being served. That'd be like saying men aren't allowed in pubs because I once saw one do a shit on a table.

Pubs are not creches. Stop bringing your toddlers. Amazing as it may seem to parents, I don't want to sit through a cacophony of noise and watch shitty nappies being changed while I'm having a pint.

@QuiteWhelming I'm whelmed.

There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the Solar System.

@Anorakus @anon_opin Hydrogen atoms are too small, so the balloon wouldn't last very long. Among other issues.

Helium should not be sold for balloons. It's insane. It's literally a finite resource which is irreplaceable for lifesaving medical equpt - but sure - your 1yo snotface NEEDS a helium filled Peppa Pig for their birthday which they'll never remember.

@orofinger @LizWebsterSBF @davecoveney Sure, in time. But that's not the argument. Offering people a truth they don't want to hear is a sure way to lose. It doesn't matter how truthful your truth is if you're stuck forever on the opposition bench.

@PW507 @LizWebsterSBF @davecoveney But they will guide the UK closer to the EU because the economic reality is that the nirvana envisaged by hard brexiteers is no more than fantasy and is a ship that sailed when labour won the election in 1945. The single market is a necessity for UK prosperity

EU bridles at Keir Starmer’s plan to seek ‘much better’ Brexit deal “Unless Starmer is prepared to take a quantum leap and change Labour’s position on membership of the customs union then any renegotiation will really be not much more than a rebranding exercise,” one EU source said. “You could call it the Dover deal, but it will still work in the same way.” “Starmer does not want to rejoin the EU or the single market. It is not a big change in the UK approach, so why should the Europeans rethink everything?” said a diplomat from a national government generally sympathetic to closer trade ties. “In terms of friction the TCA works better for the EU and countries with trade ties to the UK than it does for the Brits. What is in it for us? What do we get?”

@orofinger @LizWebsterSBF @davecoveney If Labour ran on a position of rejoining, they'd lose the election. It's not going to happen in the short-medium term. That's why not.

@PW507 @LizWebsterSBF @davecoveney But rejoining will improve everyone's prosperity so why not?

@LizWebsterSBF @davecoveney Sorry, but I think that's a blinkered position. You'd lose everyone who voted Brexit, as well as some who didn't because they won't want to reopen the can of worms. I say this as a Remainer.

@davecoveney There’s far more opportunities in offering people the truth, that prosperity and a better future lie with agreeing to rejoin the EU. Continuing with Brexit only ensures more decline.

@Kev_OC66 @kevharrison_ @ProfessorAaronP @fesshole Not necessarily, and unless your example was tested in court it doesn't prove anything. OP's employer could assert that the contract was signed in bad faith as they knew it was a mistake.

@kevharrison_ @ProfessorAaronP @fesshole Nope, written contract overrides verbal. My head Chef did the same with my 1st job. Told me it was 50 hours expected with 20 guaranteed but wrote in 50 on both hours of work expected & hours guaranteed by mistake. Nothing the Hotel could do about it when they realised.

Verbally offered £24k for a new admin job. Someone in HR transposed the digits so all my employment paperwork and contract state I'm paid £42k. It's been 9 months receiving this higher amount per month and I'm not saying a WORD

@willp6666 @anon_opin Either you've never been to Nandos, therefore you have no idea whether it's good or bad, therefore your opinion on its quality is invalid. Or you have been to Nandos, and so by your own rule, your opinion is invalid. Therefore, we need discuss this no further. Good day.

@anon_opin You were in Nando’s, sorry but your opinion is invalid

I was in a Nandos and the waiter had a Nandos tattoo. I mean, really?

@howdoharry @anon_opin

@anon_opin Yea but if you pay him £12.50 , it's no longer polluting any more remember.

If Londoners with polluting vehicles don't want to pay the ULEZ charge, why not let them use a hose to pipe the exhaust fumes into their vehicle. They can then release the fumes when they get back out of the zone.

@bookiesnacksize Full sketch youtu.be/ToKcmnrE5oY?si…

@bookiesnacksize This is from a sketch show here in the UK called That Mitchell and Webb Look. The Nazi guy stops naziing for a moment to reflect. Not sure how famous this gif is in the US?

absolutely screaming this canNOT be real

@EmmaPomfret Hi, hope you don't mind the follow. We met on the train - my profile's anon because of work. I googled Halo as promised and found you. Lovely to meet you, and hope your travels go ok.

@cheshiretoad @anon_opin So you think your £70 fixed penalty notice (£35 if you pay in 14 days) is equivalent to the Holocaust?

@anon_opin “I was only obeying orders” is not a good or sufficient excuse.

Parking wardens are just doing their jobs, and if they didn't do them life would only be worse for the rest of us. Stop giving them grief.

@ChrisIlett @anon_opin Disagree on the graphic for intermediate. If you'd prefer to use graphic over parametric, you probably aren't doing it right. Even lots of pro audio, you can't do separate sides differently with a built in stereo bus. You have to route it into two monos.

Graphic equalisers are pointless and rubbish. All we need is bass and treble.
