# BATTLEFORB­IFAB

Workers at the crisis- hit Bifab yards marched on Holyrood in a bid to raise awareness of their plight. @ jeremycorb­yn offered his support: “Solidarity with Bifab workers, their families, communitie­s and the trade unions fighting to keep these jobs. The UK and Scottish Government­s must do whatever it takes to make sure this viable company stays open.” @ Monicalenn­on7 tweeted: “Letting Bifab go under isn’t an option. We must all stand united with the workers and their families.” @ soundpolit­ic said: “If UK gov let this go down, they are totally lame. It’s a cash flow issue – 77% of the work on a Dutch contract completed but less than 40% paid. Workers are working for free to stop bankruptcy” @ Muiry_ posted: “What a turnout from the lads of Bifab today, done the community proud, hopefully a successful outcome”

# DAVINCI

Leonardo Da Vinci’s ‘ Salvator Mundi’ sold for $ 450 million at auction, surpassing the previous auction record. @ Sovernnati­on wowed: “Good God: $ 450 million?

Well beyond what was expected.” @ raju added: “It first sold for $ 10,000 in 2005.” @ joseph_ colonna laughed: “And my debit card was rejected today for a Mars Bar...”

# TRAIN

Train companies and airlines face plenty of grief for people not getting to where they want to go on time. Sometimes it isn’t their fault. @ gsandhu offered: “In departure lounge ( India). Airline called for service happiness survey. 20- min conversati­on, me complainin­g abt late planes. Missed flight” @ Miss_ EBP suggested: “Missed train, September 2017: too busy laughing at a gif of a panda falling over.” @ bernardtra­fford said: “Phoning my wife to say I was about to board the train....” @ Annemariea­lex said: “I once almost missed my Tube stop after I accidental­ly super glued the sole of my boot to the carriage floor. Does that count?” @ petit_ morsel tweeted: “My brother and his friends missed the flight for his stag do as they were too busy DRINKING TEA! They missed the call and ended up hiring a car to drive from Bristol to Edinburgh”
