Replying to @easyJet
@easyJet It is easy to complain when things go wrong, but I’d like to commend the captain and crew of flight my flight from Dalaman to Bristol (which ended up in Newcastle) last weekend. I’ve written about his conduct here: headteachering.uk/2026/08/12…

Tutee: “Mrs Masters. Did you get a leavers hoodie when you were in Y6?” Me: “Hoodies didn’t exist when I was in Y6” (also it was Junior 4). Tutee: “How old ARE you?!” Conversations with colleagues seem to date hoodies to around 2005?
