Slow translation is a thoughtful, human process done by people who care about words and meaning and take the time to research & understand the nuances of the source text before translating it. As a legal & HR specialist translator, I support @ITIUK Slow Translation Manifesto.

The next @NWTN_UK walk is already on the drawing board... thanks to an idea by one of our North Wales-based members. Been reccying it today. Loved the scenery but struggled with the pronunciation. 🤪

Thanks @jowhiley for helping us process our shock and sadness tonight after Steve Wright's untimely death. I remember him doing the same on 9/11. Such originality - Mr Angry, Old Woman, Silly Boi, the geese in the studio... the funniest DJ ever, on top of all the good music.

2/2 And congratulations to @nickwallis in particular, for his dogged investigation work on the Post Office scandal over many years. Let’s rehome Vennells’ CBE with him. Investigative journalism is one of the best things about living in a democracy.

1/2 The extent of these Post Office lies and threats is staggering: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67884743 Individuals must be held to account in court. Congratulations to all at @BBCPanorama for holding your nerve and airing that programme in 2015.

In 2009, England was ranked 27th in the world for maths. Today we’re 11th. This year, we’ve taken the long-term decision to improve education for the next generation. That’s what our new Advanced British Standard is all about.

Utterly outrageous behaviour @unitedutilities What a sorry state of affairs, w/ @EnvAgency allowing ALL water companies to destroy our water resources while receiving money for less pollution 🤷🏼‍♀️ There should be ZERO pollution! Greed & profits over protecting our environment 🐟

Hi @LNRailway I'm trying to claim DR for a cancelled train yesterday but your DR site seems to have a fault and is only offering Season Ticket options when you scroll down (see screenshot). We had Advanced Single tickets. What do we do please? 🙁

UK cyclists who travel to NL must think they've come to heaven. It's not just the superb provision of cycling lanes and bike parks, it's the respect shown to them by drivers - most of whom are cyclists too. 🤔

Maastricht is a magnificent historical city as well as a symbol of European unity. These @ITIUK walking weekenders and @NWTN_UK members certainly seemed to enjoy it! 🍺 🙂
