Another one who wiped out a team, Alan. Moments to go after an epic display by @BlackpoolFC - when everyone in Tangerine 🧡 had given everything - ball hits defender square in the middle of the back. Penalty given to @Wrexham_AFC and baying crowd. Wrecked Boxing Day for so many.
Apparently the middle of your back is also your arm these days @EFL ? Ref couldn’t wait to give them Disney nonces’ a penalty. Fucking shambles.

10 years ago today I walked into Fenchurch Street station to start my first day on the railway 🥹✨ 10 years and I still feel so lucky to be able to say I love my job. From gateline/train dispatch to shunter, to mainline driver and now driving intercity, it’s been an adventure!

Water bills to rise 20% (£86) plus inflation in April and then above inflation for the next four years. @Ofwat gives private water companies in England the go-ahead to make customers pay for the investment they have failed to do for 30 years while enriching shareholders and bosses

Secretary of State where are you? @SteveReedMP
Levels of Thames Water’s sewage dumping has jumped 40% in just 6 months, bills expected to go up 59% next week and fat cat bosses share a £770,000 reward. Now what was all that bullsh*t about banning bonuses. What else were you expecting? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg4z…

Every year on the anniversary of John Lennon's death, on the 8th of December, the National Trust leaves his bedroom light on in his childhood home for fans to go and commemorate his life. It's the most beautiful tribute! 🤍

And that's a wrap! Getting ready to leave Inverness as RHTT season ends. Challenging conditions, but from groundstaff to rostering to engineering to drivers, everyone at @RailFreight goes the extra mile to deliver for our customers. I'm really proud to be part of this team.
