***URGENT PLEASE SHARE*** University of Brighton management have announced today that they ‘give notice of termination of all collective agreements’. This is a fundamental erasure of workers' rights. Management have announced the termination of all contractual documents, which includes:

Hope it goes smoothly! We were in Cologne, by train, on holiday this year & were very much taken with the upmarket pick'n'mix in the Chocolate Museum shop... though given the weather at the time their aircon definitely helped swing that.

Really like the idea of postthroughit.com ... I do not trust that anything is private (though maybe this, who knows) but for my purposes that doesn't matter. Wonder if there's something like this that stores it locally instead.

Seems broadly right. 20+ years in (mostly HE) ed tech & reading about the issues has meant I’m increasingly cautious with my own teenagers access to technology, as well as my reliance on it. There are so many experiments being done on this generation of kids.

That’s great, glad it was helpful 😊 Pieminister are a Bristol thing but all those are local independent places. Hope you have a lovely evening! It’s the light festival too (if it isn’t too rainy to enjoy it).

Some mid-price small venues… Moltobuono (Park St) is good cosy pizza. Pieminister (Broad Quay) is very Bristol even if they do have London branches now. Dhamaka (Clare St) is a good Indian. Watershed is big and can be noisy (& food can vary a bit) but it’s a Bristol institution & a wonderful place.

For me, reformer was slow… maybe 6 months to feel vaguely competent, a year before my neck pain was largely cured. Have an great teacher, 3-5 person class, and it never felt that bad even when I was rubbish.

My dad thought maybe the 1920´s. The motor busses came in in 1918 and tram route along Prince of Wales Road isn’t on the map (we think) & was built in 1927.

It doesn’t. Do you have any ideas? I wondered if it was 30’s because of the motor bus routes.
