Why does @Tesco try to dictate what we eat. It never seems to have lactose-free whole milk, full fat Face yoghurt, and other products in my local Tesco. They always seem to have low-fat and fat-free versions. It’s discrimination against fatties.
Is today @BethRigby’s busiest day ever? She’s been on air all day while programme presenters changed.
If @RachelReeves had the good of the country at heart surely she should have accepted @andyburnham’s offer of another big job. She is a talented woman who has a lot to offer the country.
How does anyone get some sort of response from @AirCanada? The links on their website don’t appear to work and they appear to have a chat facility but it appears to be hidden. So much for their claim to be “a leader in accessible travel”.
So many Italian supporters in the stands at Lansdowne Road, I wonder if there are any chip shops open in Dublin.
The trick to avoid the annoying and unnecessary adverts in the middle a rugby game is have ITV pictures with no sound and BBC Radio 5 commentary supplying the sound. @bbc5live
Why do Labour people use the phrase “call out” when they mean “condemn”. Whatever about the country, they are ruining the English language. “Reach out” is another ruinous phrase which means “contact”
@NickyHorne Nicky,
Going through the archives of articles I wrote for various publications in the late 70s and early 80s, I found a piece in Music and Video Week (24 January 1981) that I didn't write.
@BoomRadioUK A radio leg end, sorry I meant, legend was born 86 years ago today (3 Aug) Terry Wogan
Train services at standstill after lorry strikes bridge - theisleofthanetnews.com/2024…. Any idea which bridge? It would help local drivers and people to know.
Sad news about The King but does @BBCNews have hive the item more than 25 minutes on the story? There is so little information that Nick Witchell and Chris Mason have to waffle and tell us stuff we already know.
Why does @MishalHusain sound like she is broadcasting from a broom cupboard on @BBCr4today? Studios in Broadcasting House Belfast have proper acoustics so why the inferior sound quality this morning?
