# 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? That is more than double the previous record for any art sold at auction. That is an astonishing number. 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”
