Well done @ScottishPower . Install our smart meter and cut off our outside power in the process. And then tell us we have to get an electrician in to put it right. But it's YOUR error, not ours. Top quality customer service.

I tell my uni students the importance of making sure their work is tidy and clean. Then I see this sign in Southsea. Perhaps being able to write properly is overrated...
Congrats on the award @CJPhillips1982 - top job!

Blackadder invades Hankley Common, Farnham Herald, June 1999 - and yes, I didn’t notice the Noel Gallagher visits Guitar Village story underneath when poking through the archive 😳

A good idea for aspiring young journalists is to approach your local Non-League club & volunteer for media duties. You could end up writing match reports for your local paper & getting your name in print. This is a great step on the career ladder

The new golf season is now officially under way - the calm, informative and entertaining commentary of @ewenmurray77 is back on Sky…
When I was training to be a journalist, I didn't get to study in a place like this.
