There's lots of empty, derelict or void commercial buildings around these days. If it's yours, check out the advice from NW Fire Solutions about avoiding fire risks. Call 'em, much easier conversation than an awkward one with your insurance broker!

Oh no! @marksandspencer First time ever I’ve had manky food from you. When I opened them, all rotten inside. How did they get past farm QA? Do they get frozen in storage? Is it a plot by the radish revolutionaries to target Colin’s snacks?

Is the City getting uglier? https://t.co/c5BBBFEezK...

Good article from @liverpoolpost

This is why the City lost UNESCO World Heritage status. 😡

Want heritage? Here ya go, have a shipping container. What a shame developers couldn’t provide some space within the building…

Liverpool - the very pool of life! The iconic Royal Liver Building, home to Liver Birds Bertie & Bella at the beating heart of this great city. Makes a great Christmas present this would!

Once again alcohol missed off the order and refund automatically declined so I have to waste my time ringing in. And your order email has an out of date phone number on! Attention to detail much?

[Dakes @Dakes_Liverpool]

So do you suggest I switch to @Tesco @Morrisons @sainsburys or simply send the butler to @waitrose?

Great piece of journalism from @liverpoolpost & @jlaverick99 - good to see quality proper journalism in this City after the dross that the Echo has become.

[Abi Whistance @abi_whist]

Today's piece by @jlaverick99 is a must read on the flag movement across the UK:

The men who raised the flags - Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

Mersey click is also an option (Liverpool based)

Hey #photography peeps. I’m looking to bias more towards my photography so thinking of a rebrand (here, Bluesky & Insta) - which of these sound best to you? GrumpyOldGeezer Photography should also be an option 🤣

First job of the morning, pop this lot back together.

But at least Lightroom might stop complaining about running out of temporary space now…😄

[Dakes @Dakes_Liverpool]

@LettySpoghetti @liverpoolpost Think I’ve only been twice! Fair to say, I’m not their target demographic 🤣

Fabulous piece of writing from David Lloyd https://t.co/fpVOjJQC4z at @liverpoolpost

Looks like I might need to re-do my subscription. 👏

[Dakes @Dakes_Liverpool]

Hey @seftoncouncil can I recycle these or not? Your website suggests at least one of these perfectly recycle items isn’t accepted. When are you going to recycle all plastics? Hate sending them to landfill. @SeftonGreens what do you think?

Lovely set of "The Forsyte Saga". The Grove Edition from 1927 with inscriptions inside by the Birkdale owner in 1929 - and 1937 newspaper clippings as a bookmark - how fabulous is that! https://t.co/yxsXMl2j1J #books #antiquarianbooks #galsworthy

@Art_Storefronts Can’t seem to see any prices on your website? Do you make your money (don’t expect charity!) from the printing or is there a monthly cost to the artist/tog?

Highly recommend a visit to this exhibition at Crosby Library - well I would, there's some of mine in there!
Thanks to the awesome @SeftonLibraries staff at Crosby who do amazing work for the community. #photograpy #Sefton #art #photoart https://t.co/P7PMav3Ph2
