Saw traffic queues into sold-out @BicesterH Scramble made @OxfordMailLive (thankfully after arriving). Not surprised, it's only got better in intervening years since last we went to. Cortina "crusades" into best-in-show space

Emergency legislation - to exonerate all sub-postmasters/mistresses at a stroke, to enable faster compensation, and to lay out how those accountable will be pursued - is only option after 20+ years of this – at East, England
This denial by Vennells in 2015 is sickening. @ITV’s #MrBatesvsPostOffice has exposed so much rot. Compensating victims isn’t enough. Every senior person involved in the #PostOfficeScandal should be jailed and left penniless, as were their victims.

Well said @charlesforsdick about boosting take-up of languages. “Life is a vocabulary test,” as one of our German teachers quoted to us ! – at East, England
Experts warn that teenagers, especially boys who are less likely to study a language at A-level than girls, risk becoming “little Englanders”, who do not know the basics of how to communicate in France, Germany, or any country where English is not spoken thetimes.co.uk/article/germa…

Opinion thread introducing @BarryValeofGlam as "Barry-bados" -- goodbye TV's Billericay to Barry roadtrips in a Citroën Saxo (thank goodness), hello Barry-bados to Anglesey in @forduk Explorer !
🚨OPINION THREAD: By 2030 the UK will only sell electric cars. BUT only 1 in 5 women have considered electric. I had the opportunity to go to @forduk's #WomenDriveElectric event for a peak at the new #Explorer. After weighing up the pros and cons, here is why I would go electric:

Class -- top choice, and thanks for your 'custom' @Tristan_Young, delivered by @HendyGroup
Taking a leaf out of @matty_prior and @StvCr book (ref recent My Week In Cars podcast). I’ve bought the ultimate lifestyle vehicle. Big thanks to @HendyGroup for sorting it all.

We may have heard some of these at the event with ..: inspiringquotes.us/author/64…
Highlight of our week was an evening with @GuruBayley, debating if electric will take the soul out of auto design. Another successful networking social for members who signed up at mica.org.uk/join-us/ -- who not join us?
We’re not the police, who ARE looking for grammar crims. Ford IS meanwhile happy for you to write about @FordPro !
I get paid to write stuff but, there's one thing I'm struggling with. If I'm referring to a manufacturer, do I say, for example 'Ford has launched...' or, 'Ford have...' I used to go with the latter, but I'm now thinking the former... Whaddya think lads?
