Hi @Tesco, can you tell me please why the shirts in the blue packet are £9 and the shirts in the pink packet are £11? Does being aimed at girls add £2 to the price of an apparently identical product?

After 20+ years listening to @TimJays witter on about cricket, finally went to my first match today. Not only did I enjoy it, I actually understood what was going on. Really impressed by #TheHundred and now fully fledged Trent Rockets fan. 100 balls only-the way fwd @TrentBridge – at West Bridgford, England

Happy birthday to the #NHS. Thank you for safely bringing my two girls into the world -one 15 years ago today- and for the exceptional care you’ve given my family over the years and especially this year. #NHS75 #NHSscot75 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Excuse the squeals but I was a tad excited by the appearance of dolphins from my back door today. Unlikely to get a job as a wildlife videographer anytime soon. 🐬

An absolute legend ❤️ – at Edinburgh, Scotland
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner. With her music and boundless passion for life, she enchanted fans worldwide and inspired future stars. We say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us her greatest work; her music. Tina, we will miss you dearly.

I got @TimJays an @officialgtfc shirt for Xmas but it was the wrong size. This arrived today, ready to be worn to see the Mariners beat Southampton 2-1! It was a sign. 🐟🐟🐟

Great to see @officialgtfc and #Grimsby getting airtime on @BBCBreakfast. Fingers crossed for a good result tonight #UTM 🐟🐟🐟 – at Edinburgh, Scotland
Sadly, my Harry Haddock was last seen just before @nathananthony10’s third goal against Forest Green at Wembley. At which point he was hurled miles into the air never to reappear. I can only hope he’s found a good home, and is on his way to Southampton tonight. #GTFC #UTM

Thank you @theJeremyVine and @DrSarahJarvis for raising awareness of #scoliosis on @BBCRadio2 today. With a family member who has the condition, so helpful to know we’re not alone. You cover the issue so sensitively and in simple terms, as always.

Beautiful sunrise- much needed after a tough week. Happy Friday everyone!
🌅Morning views from our #portobello back garden. A reminder - not that we need it - that we are very lucky to live where we do…. @RuthJays #Edinburgh

I cannot believe @BBCWorld published this headline in the year 2023. Staggering sexism.
