@FloellaBenjamin you are gorgeous - inside and out - an inspiration to so many.
You once told me this: live life to the fullest, give out as much joy as you can, tell yourself you are worthy even if others try to make you feel less so. And smile. Lovely lady #BAFTAs
This video by @RoyalFamily made me cry. With gratitude (@uclh helped me through #breastcancer) and with pride in @NHSEngland and
@macmillancancer staff. From all of us who’ve been on the #cancer pathway, to all of you holding our hand, thank you.
At supermarket - saw a man verbally abusing a cashier. Asked him to stop. He swears at me, says she’s being paid to work there and has to put up with what the customer says. It went on for a while.
@AldiUK, is there a way of alerting security to
protect your staff sooner please?
