Delighted to have collaborated with the fantastic team @Eating_Better for the third year in a row. This time looking at changes in vegetarian/plant-based & meat-based sandwich ranges since 2019. As always, they communicate the data brilliantly, both in tweets & full report.
Our 2022 #SandwichSurvey is here 🥪🥓🧀🥚🥒🍅
The survey shows that the sandwich aisle is still too meaty and #PlantBased sandwiches are too pricey. 84% of sandwiches available still contain meat, fish or cheese.

Hey @VancityReynolds @RMcElhenney @MadasBirdsFilms if true about a Wrexham film set around the ‘92 Arsenal FA Cup tie you should speak to the landlord/lady of the Turf from ‘84-93, the legendary & wonderful Laurie&Liz (on a 10yr hiatus from teaching). DM me, they’re my in-laws 😊

You can call on me brother, when you need a hand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem, that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.

I asked NHS.UK colleagues what's changed in the last 2-3 years that's helping us respond to the coronavirus situation in the way we are now.
Or, to put it another way, which old bits of tech/design/process would only hold us back if they were still in place. 1/n

A big thank you to @theipaper for featuring this heartfelt piece from our CEO Alexander. Getting Nye to the NHS front line has been a huge team effort over the past few weeks - we're so pleased to be making a contribution to keeping GPs and patients safe. inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/…

A truly wonderful, eye opening and thought provoking exhibition (which I think finishes this week). Absolutely loved it.
Just had a couple of hours with #BridgetRiley @haywardgallery some beautiful , some calming , all challenging . I prefer the 80’s & 90’s stripes and curves in colour to the B&W 60’s Op Art classics and decoding the patterns to find the maths puts me in a healthy mental space

Latest paper from @BMCMedicine with @Pete_Scarbs, @harringr and @MikeRayner at @Oxford_NDPH shows 34% reduction in mean sugar content of soft drinks in UK since 2015, equating to 4.6g reduction in sugar sold per cap per day bit.ly/3a1Xjaq

Fab pod as always 👍. Essential listening for anyone interested in @IrishRugby and #RWC2019
Belatedly we discuss Ireland's performance vs Wales and how a good, old-fashioned show of aggression dismissed some of our lingering anxieties. We also take a fairly freewheeling look at the rest of the Rugby World Cup which bloody well starts this week! soundcloud.com/dementedmole/…
