@santanderukhelp Hi, thanks. I opted out in my account. I'm guessing you don't class the chat bot emails as marketing but as part of the service. There's no unsubscribe option in the email for example.

@santanderukhelp how can I stop you emailing me every month to tell me to use your (useless!) chat feature! I have already opted out of marketing emails and this is marketing - it's certainly not helpful. As a bank you should be avoiding sending unnecessary emails.

What do you think would be an acceptable number of people dying on our roads?

Powerful message by Transport Accident Commission Victoria.

1 in London is trending, people panicking. Yet the R rate is an unreliable measure when the number of infected people is so low and should be considered alongside other measures. The number of infections in London is low. https://t.co/gk3yks8nOU

@TMITV19 @standardnews Indeed the hysteria and false media reporting about London infection rates this week has been both embarrassing and terrifying.

@CyclingLawLDN Glad you're ok. We the cyclists have almost normalised this, that's the scary thing. Whilst our more sensible better halves worry every time we leave the house on a bike. My girlfriend worries I'll not return home from work. And I'm not a soldier.

Today I learned...

The white man in this photo was Peter Norman from Australia who finished 2nd the 1968 200m final. Norman stood in solidarity with the American Black athletes. It was Norman who suggested, when discovered they only had 1 pair of gloves, to each wear one. (cont)

To all cyclists asking how long can I ride outside. Official answer: "even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent
outside of the home"
