It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.
Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

Last day of the summer holidays.
I start a new job on Monday, and it isn't in a school...I've finally managed to get a job outside of the daily grind. Headship over COVID, an unpleasant transition to a large MAT, an overseas stint and an interesting time in special measures in E.Sussex sees me out.

According to Strava I'm the fittest I've been for 1 year.
I'm also the fattest, so I'm uncertain how that's worked out.

If I manage to get out of bed for the 500th event next week I tip back to having TW as my home Parkrun. No more can I claim Cape Pembroke, the Falkland Islands as my most attended Parkrun.
I'm going to miss being able to claim this! I don't miss the wind though 😂.

Just finished reading 'The Tour, the cyclist and me,' by Pippa York and David Walsh.
Sensitively written and sad, which is something I'm not sure I've said about anything David Walsh has previously written.
