What can men do to help women feel safer walking at night? ๐
I was walking just now and saw a solo female ahead of me. I crossed the road and walked at pace to leave a gap.
As a man, I recognise itโs a privilege to walk after dark without constantly thinking about safety.

Bacon bap. I only managed to find brown sauce as an accompaniment.
Should I have looked for tomato ketchup as well or was the brown sauce sufficient?

Should GCSE students have formula sheets for maths, physics & combined sciences?
Schools minister Gould to Ofqual:
"For the lifetime of the current GCSE specifications in these subjects, students should not be required to memorise formulae and equations for assessment purposes."
