Maggie Philbin with GM Mayor, Andy Burnham.
Really delighted to work with over hundred young people in Amazon's Manchester HQ. Thrilling for three reasons - amazing pitches from teenage teams, meeting up with @andyburnham.bsky.social and because this was former CWS building where my Dad worked. So many memories of 'Balloon St' as child.

Happy New Year ! Which began a bit early for me with a quick piece on BBC Breakfast at 7.50. If TW had continued it would have had a significant birthday (60) this summer. I also have a significant mid summer birthday and I'm thinking of a way to celebrate both.

Now maths isnβt my strong suit but then Iβm not, you know, A BANK.

My sister once saw a large sign in the back of a car which said "Beware Bees On Board" which she thought was an interesting way to deter break ins.

Ahh thank you Adrian ...it had to be done. So sad, I think many of us think about the days when the other place was such a fun, generous and incredibly useful platform.

Childishly delighted to create a cubist profile pic. Meanwhile in West London the bar is set quite high for Halloween.
