@bbcsoutheast ellie said the hole in Godstone happened “last February” but the onscreen text said “February 2025”. Last February was 2026!

@BBCr4today If football fans can afford tickets for matches and also to travel abroad to matches, then surely they can afford to pay for TNT and other subscription services, which are cheaper.

@channel5_tv Why do the subtitles switch off whenever there is a advert break. They have to be switched again after ad break. And often means we have to sit through the ads again. FIX IT!

@benonwine You’ve been on the wine too much. They were / are great.

@AvivaUK How do I get to speak to a human agent and not go around and and around the houses.

[Brendan Martin 💙 @brenmar]

@AvivaUK How do I get to talk to someone about my travel insurance? I don’t use apps or tslk to bots. I have paid enough money to merit talking to a human being.

@BBCNews what is the point of having Sophie Raworth dtanding in the cold outside No 10. Do you really think the PM going to rush out the door and for an interview? It’s a waste of money. Stay in the studio.

[Brendan Martin 💙 @brenmar]

@TheExtremeMusi1 Yes. It’s a no brainer

@Israeltroops No

@bbcnews @BBCr4today Why are Nick Robinson’s introductions to items so long and ponderous? Discuss.

@GWandShows whose stupid idea was it to drop the opening music from the programme. Please restore.

@RollingStones Is the sleeve of Foreign Tongues the worst album cover of any Rolling Stones record? Discuss (Sorry Ronnie)

[Brendan Martin 💙 @brenmar]

@RollingStones Dear God lads, please tell me that album cover is a joke and not the real one.

@20th_Centurygal Don’t be ridiculous, Amy. It’s got to be The Beatles.

@AirCanada claim to be “committed to being a leader in accessible travel”. What rubbish. Ever tried contacting them to arrange for assistance? I’ve been three days trying to contact them and haven’t heard a word back.

[Brendan Martin 💙 @brenmar]

@AirCanada Why do you not reply to fare-paying passengers here or on email? I have DMed you and heard nothing. It shows your airline’s contempt for passengers.

[Brendan Martin 💙 @brenmar]

How does anyone get some sort of response from @AirCanada? The links on their website don’t appear to work and they appear to have a chat facility but it appears to be hidden. So much for their claim to be “a leader in accessible travel”.
