Apparently we won’t be getting our post anymore as a plum laden branch from our plum tree makes our postie duck, making it “inaccessible”. All the other delivery services are coping and previous posties for last ten years all coped. I’m not cutting branches full of about to ripen plumbs down now FFS

Times are very tough. This all the Enterprise I can afford…

Social media this morning is a zombie apocalypse of dinosaur Tory politicians and right wing hangers-on hankering after the nasty Brexit wars of the last decade. Our country has moved on!

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

There's a lot of talk about growth but rarely any discussion on how we enable our children to live prosperous, happy and productive lives. It will have benefits both now and in the future. The school run is the epitome of inefficiency. These kids know there's a much better way.

Great to see @traffordcouncil.bsky.social's school street scheme feature on @bbcbreakfast.bsky.social this morning Give children the choice, and they will cycle to school. The only thing stopping them are adults who make our cities dangerous to be a kid!

This. This is why we need mandatory minimum parking charges in all car parks. The plastic bag charge changed behavior for the better. Mandatory car parking charges would too

If this is “entitled” then yeah, I’m an “entitled cyclist”. We should all be “entitled cyclists”

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Popping to my nearby Aldi just got a bit more dangerous for my health…

I had a lovely sandwich for lunch.

In Corringham/Stanford-le-Hope there’s the totally odd setup of a Morrisons Daily right next door to a proper full-size Morrisons supermarket…

I see Tesco have followed Sainsbury’s by introducing Aldi Price Match into its Express stores (Sainsburys introduced it into Locals a few weeks ago) Also noted that Tesco Express 10% more than main stores, Locals 15% more than big Sainsburys and Morrison’s Daily a whopping 20% more than main store!

Solar panels do not stop farming on the land. They help retain water and provide shelter for livestock.

Labour want to 'make Brexit work' while cutting services and raising taxes. The Lib Dems want to get some of those EU benefits back, so we don't need all the cuts and tax rises.
