Hello X folks, naughty Virgin Media 🐐 have been overcharging for my broadband. They've admitted it in writing and said they would correct. But no joy. Phoning takes forever. Any way to get them to put it right, short of the #Ombudsman or small claims court? Louise Eccles

Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance 🐝

🍄MONSTER MUSHROOM!
One of the worlds largest edible #mushrooms : Termitomyces titanicus #fungi
It has a unique relationship with termite mounds!

The science of global warming is so very simple. Please spare a few short minutes to watch Carl Sagan explain it beautifully clearly nearly forty years ago.

A super-interesting document all-round...

Mesmerising! And precisely why we should avoid garden insecticides. (She's feeding them with insects).

There’s an interesting bit of insect ecology on display at the moment. I’m sure you remember the massive acorn crop last year (autumn 2022, below). Because Quercus robur is alternate-bearing (big crops are always followed by little crops) we predicted a very low crop this year

Oops Daily Express ! An easy mistake to make. Prices drop when inflation turns negative. If inflation drops from 10% to, say, 7%, that means prices have risen 7%, not that they've dropped by 3%! #innumeracy #badmaths #Mathematics

This proposal is madness. Please follow the Woodland Trust link and make your feelings known. Thank you. Jon
