@MartinSLewis £100 off your council tax for energy ONLY if you live in a smaller property (A-D). Larger properties that cost more to heat get nothing. I’m retired and have a low income but I have a band F house. Crazy!

@MartinSLewis VIP ticket to the New Orleans jazz festival. This ticket cost $1500! Handed to me by a dentist who had to rush home to help a client with a serous dental problem.

@MartinSLewis Lent money to my daughter to buy a car. Charged her the same rate of interest I would have received if I had left it in my savings account.

@MartinSLewis I think people are confusing ‘valuable’ with ‘expensive’.

@dbeddoe40 @higginscartoons 😳 No way. This was in the days when only indians ate garlic.

@KemiBadenoch Not seeing any mention of the fact that America refused to help us in the Falklands war. Now our refusal to help Trump in Iran is a reason not to help us.

@ladbible “Lord, give me a sign!” There you go.

@skdh Had to laugh at the BBC lady who said that the moon was casting a shadow on the sun.😳

@ProfBrianCox A lot of disappointed people around me holding collanders and saying, “I thought it was going to get dark”.

[John Ryder @danarrow]

@MartinSLewis No poll was necessary. It was an obvious result.

[John Ryder @danarrow]

@ProfBrianCox I can confirm that your book is also available from bad bookshops.

@theAliceRoberts The monarchy is useful. Visiting dignitaries love the pomp and ceremony. They are taken to the palace for tea and cucumber sandwiches before the serious business of diplomacy takes place. It works.

@RichardWiseman If you answered ‘often’ to any of the questions, seek help.

@desmoderby @Halfords_uk Same thing happened to me last year. I gave up waiting and asked for a refund. Manager was rude. Halfords sent me a £15 voucher. 😄

@tonymcmahon_79 @theAliceRoberts Invented by a poet. Why are you wasting our time with this?

[John Ryder @danarrow]

@RadioTimes Great cast, brilliant book, terrible director. Endless out-of-focus shots of the sea, the jungle and the boys. Just tell us the story instead of trying and failing to do something ‘arty’.

@MartinSLewis Retired now but I was lucky enough to turn something that fascinated me into a career. I had to work hard but it rarely became a chore. I enjoyed the perfect work/life balance.

@kale_abe @AstronomyVibes Yep. “You are bugs”

@SangitaMyska Panorama did not “screw up”. Some unnamed individual deliberately edited Trump’s speech to make it appear that he encouraged the attack. Not an error. Not an oversight. A deliberated act.
