I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

Incredible service from ‘William’ @skytv just now. Restored my faith in Sky when it was pretty much lost. Thank you 🙏🏼
Times are tough. Don’t be too harsh on yourself if you find it hard to cope sometimes - we all find it difficult, whoever we are. I find music helps me - but being down is a part of being human. Not sure how much a tweet will help but I just wanted to say. Keep safe. Tim x x

I want to give a heartfelt thanks for people’s support of @HeadwayUK & me yesterday. Setting/achieving a goal & the support has given my self-confidence a lift after coping with divorce/family/work over the last 2mths. Thank you & take care

Replying to @KeplinOnline
@KeplinGroup I ordered something from your site on 27th March and have yet to receive it. Your ‘customer service’ team have, on three occasions, told me it has shipped and to wait three working days. I’ve been refused a refund until I can say that I’ve ‘refused delivery’.

@KeplinGroup How can I refuse delivery of an item that very clearly isn’t going to be delivered? How can you refuse to refund someone two months after they’ve placed an order? I’ve had to purchase from elsewhere as I needed it long before now. Appalling service.

It is election season. The world is busy and rubbish. But it is also Christmas. So take a breather and let me tell you a story about London, trains, love and loss, and how small acts of kindness matter. I'm going to tell you about the voice at Embankment Tube station.

I feel like I’m witnessing the beginning of the end of the world. Anyone else? 😔 #GeneralElection2019

Met two disappointingly young Tory canvassers this morning: T: Going to Vote Sir? Me: Yes, of course. T: You’ll be voting Conservative? Me: Not in million years. T: Can I ask why not? M: Because I’m a brown doctor and my mum looks like a letterbox. T: M: #anyonebutTory

After receiving a voucher as a gift, which we can’t use as the venue can’t fit us in, @Wowcher_Support have been incredibly unhelpful. Asked for the same information three times and once they had it for the third time, no response at all. Is this how they make their money?

What a bloody lovely Monday. Sebs first gig to see @paulsmithmusic who, by the way, is an absolute gent. What a great idea ’baby gigs’ are for us frazzled parents @Twiggybeau! Followed by Fenwicks window and a bit of Christmas shopping. Winning today 👍🏼

I think the highlight was the muso version of ‘Twinkle, twinkle’ 😂

My kindred bird spirit 🤣
This bird keeps itself in the air by sheer force of anger alone.

If you are needing to return a book or access a PC today, we’re open late till 7pm at Houghton Library. Where we’ve also had unconfirmed reports that Sunderland’s very own @DaveStewart has just popped in to return his books...

This is genuinely a fantastic documentary. The worst thing about breastfeeding is other people and their opinions. Much harder than the physical act of feeding. Other people are the only reason I ever thought about stopping. Thankfully we’re still going at 8 months #Dispatches

So it seems I’m in the 1% 🙌🏼 #proud #breastfeeding
On now @Channel4: “One of these images – this sexy booby one behind me, and me right here breastfeeding my boy – seems to be more normal and more widely accepted in Britain than the other.” - @Quilton #Breastfeeding #breastfeedinginpublic #Dispatches
