How is this acceptable, WeTransfer? You’re not a free service, I *pay* you to shift my big artwork files. I DON’T pay you to have the right to use them to train AI or print, sell and distribute my artwork and set yourself up as a commercial rival to me, using my own work.😡

Hi Sainsbury's - just received an email from you. Am I correct in that customers won't be able to access your instore Nectar prices unless they use the app? Or will there still be Nectar prices for those who are using Smartshop with their Nectar card? It was a bit ambiguous.

I love this series from Bloomsbury Education! Always packed with practical & easy-to-use ideas. This one is on #secondary student #personaldevelopment. I can see lots of these being done in the #schoollibrary too. One for the #stafflibrary.
