@publiclibnews Oooo interesting. There’s definitely a story here…

Handy hint: even if you change app supplier, they should still be able to post it as a direct upgrade.

@FrPip You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me).

@WingsScotland Nonsense - if that was the case why haven't they done it in their home market of the USA. They still get proper Sprite too!

@WingsScotland @pepsico_uk This was the only drink you could get in @subwayUK meal deal that didn't taste like chemicals. Slightly smaller bottle to keep the price the same. Now standard size bottle and tastes the same as all other sweetener drinks. @GreggsOfficial meal deal & @CocaCola_GB it is fr now on.

@librarieshacked Exactly what I normally drink. Called a Long Black, more common in Australia, but now very widespread in the cafes in Edinburgh (probably because I keep asking for it when it's not on the menu yet!)

😀Maybe we are just getting old?

[Andrew Daye @apdaye]

@librarieshacked Great minds & all that. 🤣

[Andrew Daye @apdaye]

Excellent and well-overdue change. Perhaps we could do the same in the UK and move to a 100%-of-statistics-as-open-data model at the same time? (cc @librarieshacked).

[Andrew Daye @apdaye]

@dougaitken You’re maybe just lucky?

[Andrew Daye @apdaye]

Edinburgh resident. Can confirm....

@British_Airways Hi there! Is there an email address to contact the BA Executive Club? I have a low priority issue with tier points, but I don’t want to tie up the phone line when there are likely far more important calls coming in!

[Andrew Daye @apdaye]

@librarieshacked Seen it in some tenders, so must be a few working on it. Difficult though when certain third party vendors mandate a four digit numeric PIN for their out of hours access systems.

[Andrew Daye @apdaye]

@librarieshacked While apple are trying to push the world beyond passwords to encrypted passkeys, libraries are stuck with four digit PINs stored unencrypted. I despair sometimes.

@garethjms You should get a bottle of gold top (non-homogenised) milk for him. Soooo tasty!
