Lead Interaction Designer at NHS England. Generally designing, prototyping, coding & problem solving. Often drinking a disproportionate amount of tea in rainy Manchester.
I always chuckle at these types of food descriptions. "Pan fried fish" or "Hand cut chips". "Grass fed". etc.

Congratulations! For the work you’ve done at Defra and on the new role.

That type of metered connection is a recipe for huge inequality. We need a fair and neutral internet for everyone. Data is metered (sort of) and there are already fair-use policies. I think it is fair to charge more or high end connections, huge volumes of data, IP addresses and uptime though.

Agreed. It got my attention as a current NHS England staffer likely to be made into a civil servant again within DHSC in the next two years. I’m nervous I’ll be told my salary is too high for the equivalent (sort of) grade within the Civil Service.

I recently held my walk for a couple of minutes because I was behind a young woman but going in the same direction. I checked my phone for a moment hopefully making it a more comfortable distance. I think that makes anybody feel a bit better too.
