@MartinSLewis Many thanks for information you provided on last week's show about the Microsoft new charges. I checked my account and they were going to charge me for the extra AI component, which I do not require. I have reverted back to the basic subscription saving money.

I have seen a great deal of coverage throughout the media about the Rail Strikes affecting the Eurovision Song Contest and the FA Cup Final but nothing about the Army/Navy Rugby Match. The Armed Forces community being ignored again?

What a pity these Llanelli players are no longer available to play for Wales.

@Hawkins_Navy @RoyalNavy @RNinScotland In ye days of olde, we would get "tiddly" suits made to measure with ornate linings on the jacket's cuffs by "sew-sew" onboard. Superfine material that held the creases better as well.

@forcesdiscounts Totally agree that this is long overdue but yet did the BBC use a photograph of a veteran wearing "bling" medals inappropriately?
