@richardault83 @TranmereRovers Huge congratulations Rich!

@CAMURPHY @apwestgarth That is a pretty effective trick - I've been doing that for a couple of years, especially if I need to get out sharpish. Another good one is to set your working hours (if your corp calendar allows) so others get prompted before stealing your evening (or early morning)

@alvinashcraft @RockyLhotka @jasonbock @RachelAppel Yeah, feedly is central to putting together The Morning Brew. That said it is frustrating to see more and more good content moving to platforms with no RSS, makes it very hard for me to consistently include it

@lydblogs Loud here in on the Mossley Hill /Aigburth border, explosions sounded too close together to have been a deliberate display

[Chris Alcock @calcock]

@ChrisDWilliams Nope, but lots of alarms going off now in the area

Happy to report that I managed to successfully cast my vote this evening...

Interesting start to the day when I turn up to vote and get given a ballot paper for the wrong constituency. Told to go away and come back later (now expecting to be denied later as I'm crossed off the list) cc: @lpoolcouncil

@HSBC_UK Tried that yesterday and the cheque back images were accepted successfully - it might make sense to include that suggestion in the app. Thanks for the help

[Chris Alcock @calcock]

@HSBC_UK I'm trying to pay in a cheque using the mobile app, but it won't recognise the back of the cheque (which is blank) What can I do to allow it to be deposited?

[Chris Alcock @calcock]

@HSBC_UK Yes it was, on the same background as for the front which worked fine

[Chris Alcock @calcock]

@HSBC_UK No joy, it captures the front of the cheque no problem, but just always says it cannot recognise the cheque when doing the blank back of the cheque. This is on the android app. Any suggestions?

[Chris Alcock @calcock]

@NathanGloyn Entirely accidental - my trackpad is a little sensitive and occasionally clicks too many times on buttons. I've fixed it (the post that is - the trackpad will likely annoy again in the future) now, thanks.

@joe_mighty @rammesses @serialseb @MorningBrewNet I think @rammesses is over estimating the weight of numbers inclusion in The Brew brings with it 😉

[Chris Alcock @calcock]

@SteBobRoughley @MorningBrewNet sure is - its in today's edition :)

[Chris Alcock @calcock]

@justeat_tech hehe...I tend to be published by 9:30 most days, although sometimes a little later on days I'm off work

[Chris Alcock @calcock]

@justeat_tech jumping the gun a little there, I've not published today's edition yet....expect it in the next 15 mins

[Chris Alcock @calcock]

@dezfowler ah, indeed it is - it changed its name and moved into the Met Quartersome time back, and only recently closed for good :(
