🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thanks to wordle for this global social experiment. How do you express irritation? What does the world think of America? Do you have a right to play entirely free puzzles? Twitter has the worlds answers today!

Can you buy a pretty car or a takeaway pint in the Lockdown? Catch my film from last night with Morgans from @WilliamsMogCars and pints from @neilcmc. Includes breaking news! Points West, Late News: 03/11/2020: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0… via @bbciplayer

Good fun meeting the Cheltenham Motor Club Supremo! What a lovely local - must be even nicer with a (socially distanced) crowd. Good luck with the next month guys! If you missed Neil’s Appearance, check out Points West on iPlayer.
For those who want a right laugh I shall be on BBC Points West tonight ranting about pubs, clubs & bars not being allowed to sell takeaway beer during lockdown 2. I think they got all of my chins in....

Still warm fuzzy n buzzing from #RomanticsAnonymous from @Wise_Children at @BristolOldVic live on our sofa. Love, laughter, life lessons and of course the bitterness of chocolate. Thank you so much. The only weakness in the superb quality live stream? How do you hear us clap?👏👏

First night cautious training for @BathCity_FC at @AcademicSport Wise Campus. All very Covid-secure. Not a football in sight yet! Thanks to all at SGS college Filton and Stroud for your help on @bbcpointswest tonight.

We've had our first visitor to the GU Shop in months! Yesterday, @BBCBusinessDave from @bbcpointswest swung by to test our social distancing measures. He even asked Morph how’s he coped with not seeing all of your lovely faces. We’ll have more news on our reopening very soon… 👀
One of three #thomascook planes based at @Bristolairport. Sadly 150 people work for the firm here, which has now gone bust. More details on @bbcpointswest tonight at 630.
Park St, central #Bristol like you never saw it before. A fully furnished flat being craned into its new home. Bristol team working thru the night. Extraordinary. Lots more on @bbcpointswest today @BBCBristol and @bbcrb this am. #innovation #coolstuff !
Morning Bristol! Look who’s dropped in? Congrats to @bristolballoon getting so many up this morning! @bbcpointswest will have the good shots.

Watching them take down Severn Bridge Tolls for @bbcpointswest tonight. Since they scrapped them in Dec, traffic up 12% into Wales, but only 5% to England. Why? Are we all migrating to the Valleys?!
#schoolstrike4climate in Bristol. Around 1000 acc to Police estimate. Best slogan? “The dinosaurs thought they had plenty of time” ... See? Education works.
School Students striking for #climateaction in #Bristol. Around 1000 acc to police. All good natured when I was there - but they are serious about this. Their future after all!

If you fly from Bristol, sleep in North Somerset or frankly live on Planet Earth, you might wanna watch this. Important questions...
Big thanks to all who helped us make it. What do you think?

Great to see so many investing in #Bristol’s acclaimed wood reuse project, @BristolWRP. I covered the launch of their @triodosuk crowdfunder on Monday @bbcpointswest Over £250k invested so far. Obvs I can’t give financial advice and capital is at risk, but I can love wood!
Liam Fox taking questions at @EngineShed_BB. People worried about uncertain future. No deal is disaster for many. @bbcpointswest will have more.

Thought for the day : Those you disagree with aren’t enemies or traitors. They don’t deserve to be “knifed or lynched or hanged”. They are just people you disagree with. Those who report news you don’t like aren’t fake or frauds or enemies of the people. They are just reporters.
