@ClaireH_NN I remember the days when road resurfacing took a weekend. Now it's a whole month. Guess contractors have got to max out their government tenders.

@Dolby @ODEONCinemas I thought an auditorium trading as a "Dolby Cinema" was a guarantee of quality, but screen 1 at the Odeon Leicester Square has three dents in the screen, one so noticeable that it is distracting every time there is a bright image.

@ItsuOfficial Just had your veggie balls only to discover you have replaced the veggie "meat"balls with what is essentially a falafel, not what I wanted. Please revert.

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@SubwayUK Your marketing is inept and alienating. You sent me a personalised email, including my points balance, with pictures of ground-up cow promoting "taco beef". Why would you send this to customers you know are vegetarian?

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@live_coventry Very misleading headline. The "we" refers to local government as distinct from central government, but the local rag increasingly seems to push a Reform-friendly line. In any case, hasn't Starmer managed to get boat numbers down far more than the Tories? 43% down I think.

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@greennuneaton A Reform representative is the only one I've had on the doorstep, but when I recited Farage policies back to him that have come directly from the horse's mouth unedited, I was told I'd been "taken in".

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@greennuneaton What exactly is "Deed of Termination" payment? They surely didn't pay £84,000 of our money to extricate themselves from what was clearly a fraudulent endeavour?

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@airfrance I don't use Facebook. I tried the WhatsApp link, but it was merely a bot that wanted my booking reference. I am trying to determine your policy which will then govern whether I make a booking.

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@airfrance Is it correct that Air France does not offer a vegetarian (VLML) option in long-haul business class, only vegan (VGML) and Asian Vegetarian (AVML)? I see you offer meat-eaters a choice of a vegetarian main course on board but only with a non-veggie starter.

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@greennuneaton @live_coventry Agree strongly about the local news site. The recent fawning piece about the visit of Farage was am embarrassment of journalism. What an opportunity to ask difficult questions - completely dodged.

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@Ask_Help_0 I'm not after compo. Just confidence that it won't happen again at whichever Odeon I happen to be visiting.

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@Ask_Help_0 I don't need assistance! The specific incident was dealt with on site. I am simply suggesting you should feed back to management the need for reminders to all sites to let customers enjoy films to the end without interruption.

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

2/2 ... was more consistency across Odeon at letting us movie geeks enjoy your movies until the very end. There are plenty of us completists out there. Some UK-wide training reminders would be good if Odeon really still is "fanatical about film".

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

1/2 Hey @ODEONHelp - I'm sure you agree Hildur Guðnadóttir has written a cracking score for Bone Temple. I was enjoying the end-suite until the sound was cut and the final 2+ minutes of credits played silently last night. Your duty manager did apologise, but I just wish there ...

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@doublestops8 @ReformShireHall @greennuneaton To be fair, you could say that of most of the Labour and Tory councillors too. Never had one knock on my door. The Kondakors are rare indeed. Actually making a difference rather than being in it for self-serving interests. I'm not a Green, but would vote for either of those two.

@LFCHelp That map would be a lot clearer if it were designed with North orientated to point upwards.

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@angela_whelan @AvantiWestCoast So annoying, especially since you could have had a taxi from Rugby had you known.
As a fellow Nuneaton train user, I asked the rail experts:

There's a theory it might have been driver error, but no further insight.

[Martin Barber @Martin_Barber]

@greennuneaton @ClaireH_NN @hinckleytimes @BBCCWR Our local MP's silence on this is deafening.

@ThePCCLondon If the 35mm print of Vertigo is the BFI-funded one that debuted in Bradford last Sept, be warned that it has a very dark image with lots of flecks, defects & mono sound. It was not a patch on the wonderful 70mm print I saw in 2009 nor the digital version in 2017.
