Today in things traincrew shouldn't have to do: Tell passengers not to throw bread rolls at each other across the aisle. One group took up a disproportionate amount of my time this evening. I wonder how they would feel if I turned up at their workplace and made things difficult for them.

Spending my day being paid to think about beer. A great way to spend the day…. But surely I should be drinking the stuff by now (purely in the name of research of course)

I highly recommend Claire. Worked with her in the past, leading to large funding, reaching diverse audiences, creating sustainable heritage legacies. She surveys your work, gets to the heart of your mission, challenges your thinking (in a good way) and helps you communicate that to diverse groups.

June is Pride Month. Let's call out companies who show support for LGBTQ+ people while also advertising on GB News, a channel that pumps out LGBTQ+ hate. Tell these companies to pick a side - hate or Pride:

At what point in people’s lives do they go ‘oh yes Procurement will be what I want do’? Is it the point where they realise they love making people jump through pointless hoops for absolutely no reason other than to make them money??? (I might be frustrated today!!)
