The back to back promotions are the headline but the way the squad has been built, the identity that's been created on the pitch, the culture around the club that's clearly different to what was there before - that's a harder thing to achieve than a good run of results and it tends to get less attention than the table position. Would love to know how people here think about what he's built beyond just the promotions.

Saw a segment on the news last night about a safeguarding failure, and the comments online were the usual vitriol calling us child snatchers or completely useless. It is exhausting doing World Social Work Day events trying to promote unity and cohesion when the media mostly seems to acknowledge the profession when something goes tragically wrong. How do you stop the public bashing from getting to you?

Some walls are hard because the categories are obscure. The best ones are hard because the categories are obvious in hindsight and you still couldn't see them coming. The ones where the misleading group is constructed so perfectly that you feel slightly personally targeted. Would love to know which ones people here still think about.

Went in feeling good about the property and came out of the survey report convinced the place was held together by hope and old wallpaper. Spoke to a few people who said the same thing happened to them. Wondering at what point you take the findings seriously versus when you're just reading standard boilerplate warnings that go on every report.

Not complaining about the job itself. But there's something wearing about watching something get decided at one level and then seeing what it actually looks like by the time it reaches the people it's meant to help. Feel like a lot of colleagues just stop mentioning it after a while.

How to tell the difference?

Something I've been thinking about lately because I always just assumed city = more intense. But then you hear about rural crews driving 40 minutes to a job with no backup anywhere near them and it makes you question that. At least in a city there's another crew around the corner and a hospital ten minutes away. Is it basically a different job altogether or does it just feel that way from the outside?

Estate agents, mortgage brokers, solicitors- everyone speaks in a shorthand that assumes you've done this before. Asked what felt like a stupid question to my solicitor last week and she seemed genuinely surprised I didn't already know. First timers are supposed to not know, that's the whole point.

I’ve been seeing full 5G bars on my phone but stuff still loads slowly sometimes, like pages just hang for a bit even though the signal looks fine. Not sure if it’s normal or if there’s something else going on with it.
