RECALL: These reusable water balloons sold on Amazon, contain high-powered magnets that are four times stronger than the legal limit. The magnets are easy for children to access and swallow, and can cause life-threatening internal injuries.

Never allow “brilliant assholes” into your department.
They do exist. And will infect the culture of the team.

It’s 40 years of the @RCSnews Bulletin
So I thought I’d write something
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.” @DrMayaAngelou
“Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble”

Be careful with disposable BBQs this summer. Use long handled tools to keep hands away from the heat & avoid touching the metal tray as it’ll be HOT.
Ground/sand beneath the BBQ will become very hot too, so once extinguished cool the area immediately & keep children/pets away.

Your hot drink stays hot enough to scald your child’s delicate skin for up to 15 mins after it’s been made. So, as Laura ambassador for @CBTofficial says, please keep hot drinks out of reach.

This symbol, found on hot water bottles, indicates how old it is. The number is the year it was made, the flower segments represent months and the dots show the number of weeks. So this was one made in April 2021.
