Ummm, I wonder if I told @emmavolney I was in the Channel Islands tomorrow, whether I’d be able to get a cheeky look at the ITV Channel studio! 🤔💕
Hello at @BritishGas @BritishGasHelp having spoken to Aya, your colleague at your century house call centre in Cape Town , South Africa. I can’t u derstand why it’s an estimated higher payment, I was in credit, now with a lower actual payment I am in Debit by £276. Confused.
Well @taskmaster @alexhorne @SP1nightonly @nickmohammed @gdavies I think you’ve pinched an idea I once had…
All forgiven for tickets to your shows! Trying to watch taskmaster for 7 years now!
@GWRHelp I am on the 14:20 service from Swindon to Reading. I have bought a ticket from Swindon to Reading, and was due to then catch a Elizabeth line train. The Elizabeth line train has been cancelled, is there any way I can stay on this train?
@GWRHelp thanks to superb train manager Sue, who sorted a really stressful situation so quickly! Sue, you are a Superstar! Thank you! X

.@NOW @NOWHelpTeam I’ve had many calls with you & have been promised my old number will be ported & you will get back to me. You never do! I’m still waiting for my old number, even though @BTSopenreach said it is a quick & simple change. The number is currently still available.

BBC Local Radio is for me , the very best of the BBC. To lose it is to lose our radio heritage and presenters who care.
Please support my former colleagues at @BBCSuffolk who are under terrible pressure - not knowing if or who will have a job in months to come - all this after they worked through lockdown to keep us informed and entertained - and are still going on air everyday. #BBCLocal
Not really a footie fan… but something in this Guardian cartoon caught my eye @BBCWiltsSport @Official_STFC
Hi @ArtyBagger,are you the same Muriel that is on the bbc board, and if so, are people allowed to message you and Culture secretary @michelledonelan with why the cuts to BBC local radio should not be happening. There are other ways savings can be made!

A number of people have been in touch, asking how they can make their views known on the proposed changes to BBC Local Radio.
There's the link below, or the phone-number if that's easier.

Prior to Covid, BBC management hired an ex-Global radio consultant. At Global his job was to drive down listenership on commercial radio, so it could merge stations, by saying they were no longer viable, and then cut the number of local programmes made by each station…
Next to go were local music policies, replaced by a national policy, a bizarre mix aimed at alienating the key BBC local radio audience, while being too eclectic for a mainstream younger audience. Music after 6pm was so “Un-BBC local radio” driving regular listeners away…
Stations were chastised, listening figures plummeted, people listened less, for shorter periods.
After decimating it, the BBC launched its plan to “revitalise” local bbc radio… it looks familiar. bbc.in/3U91zLw 😢. Gawd bless BBC Local Radio and all who sailed in her!
