@HighwaysEAST @EssexPoliceUK Any rough time you expect it to reopen in the morning?

@PBalban @GibraltarGov GMT doesn’t change. The UK goes from GMT to BST (which is GMT+1), Gibraltar goes from CET (GMT+1) to CEST (GMT+2). Happens every year, not that difficult.

@Tesco wanted to purchase 2 of these but only had 1 in stock at your Hemel Hempstead store. Left it as thought I’d be able to purchase online but can’t find them anywhere. Do you sell these online, if so where, or if not how do I check stock at other stores?

@monzo So for the £10k, “You’ll need to have £667.95 (excluding interest) in your Challenge Pot at 11:59pm on the 365th day of your challenge.” - After that time I can withdraw the money & close the pot and still be entered into the draw even though the draw isn’t until 2nd Feb?

@monzo When I reach the end of my 2025 1p savings challenge & have the required amount for the prize draw, can it withdraw the money from that pot or do I need to leave it in there until the draw on 2nd Feb?

[Ben @YourAverageBen]

@monzo My Bills Pot I used to be able to set my ‘trends’ etc to track 4-weekly rather than just monthly. I get paid 4-weekly so having my “left to pay” amount match my paydays was helpful. It seems this now isn’t an option & you can only set it to a fixed date each month. Why?

[Ben @YourAverageBen]

@EE Sent you a DM yesterday, are you able to help at all please?

[Ben @YourAverageBen]

@British_Airways Are there problems with your website & app at the moment? Everything taking ages to even load up or just crashing? Have tried multiple devices, other sites are fine.

@ravroberts @MartinSLewis Entirely depends on your career plans & the industry it’s in I guess. It’s a massive financial commitment just for a slightly better piece of paper but still without any guarantee of a return.

[Ben @YourAverageBen]

@ravroberts @MartinSLewis Not even sure the piece of paper helps in most cases anymore tbh, doubt most people have ever had to show it. Sure, if you do a vocational degree for a specific career (doctor, engineer, lawyer etc) then absolutely uni is for you but if not I’d save the money and go another route

@SkyNews Can we perhaps watch the actual funeral rather than switching to images of Trump every 2 minutes? 🙄

@NorthBritannia @NicholasTyrone We don’t have birthright citizenship in the UK. Automatically acquiring British citizenship at birth is decided by your parents’ citizenship, not where you are born. “Full” British Citizenship isn’t a thing, there is no ‘half’-citizenship, you’re either a citizen or not.

[Ben @YourAverageBen]

@MartinSLewis Difficult. Don’t think my degree subject impacted directly. I don’t work in the same field or even a graduate job, but uni in general got me a) the social skills/confidence to go after jobs & take risks, and b) got me out of my hometown to access higher wages & a different life.

@BBCNewsnight This is a Private Members Bill, it’s been brought forward by an individual, not proposed by the Government and was a ‘free vote’, not whipped by either side of the House. I’m all for calling out the Government but this wasn’t their doing.

@pandocruises Just getting this message when trying to view info/book spa treatments. Have tried multiple browsers & devices.

@MrAndrewCotter Cheers for the laughs through what was a remarkably dull Closing Ceremony, only thing that kept me from turning it off!

[Ben @YourAverageBen]

@scottygb Opening & closing ceremonies were remarkably dull this year! Opening I just put down to taste, not for me & missing the usual buzz. The Closing 😴 what a drag! Seemed to go on forever with nothing really happening. Feel for those who paid to be there, promised a party & got that!

@TLRailUK @LNRailway You might want to tell your staff at St Pancras that then as they’re sending people to Euston

[Ben @YourAverageBen]

@LNRailway @TLRailUK Not surprised, they’re about as much use as a fart in a colander. Well I’m on one of your trains now anyway so if you’d be so kind as to not fine me and get me to Watford I’d be obliged. 👍
