Bit peeved off with @LNRailway just pulled out of Tile Hill Station ahead of schedule so I missed it!

[Ian O'Donnell MBE @ianodonnell]

@StarbucksUK Still the same at Coventry Station. They still can’t do points.

[Ian O'Donnell MBE @ianodonnell]

@StarbucksUK jus been to buy a coffee and toast at Coventry Station and told the till can’t scan and give points as a franchise - why is this as never not been able to collect points at franchises before including at this cafe?

Big businesses hold too much power over small firms when it comes to late payments.

We're fighting to change that.

📻Listen to @craigie_b on this morning's @bbc5live Wake up to Money discuss the Government's proposed measures to end late payments- most of which are based on FSB's recommendations⬇️

One of these days I’ll get to use my @AvantiWestCoast Club free coffee voucher on the train to London, but at the moment every time I go to get one the coffee machine isn’t working!

From our recent visit to Vicar Water Country Park parkrun. It’s a beautiful park with an incredible industrial heritage. @VicarWaterCP

@poetwithpace I’ve added the Mini 4 Pro to my stable (I have the Neo already which is fab for taking running with you because it’s so light)

💡 #ICYMI: The Government’s new Small Business Plan sets out proposals aimed at helping small firms embrace new ideas and make the most of the next wave of digital technology 👨🏿‍💻

The proposals were made in response to the findings of the Government's SME Digital Adoption Taskforce, which FSB is part of.

📊 According to our #TechTonic report, small firms are a leading force in business innovation, with over two-thirds saying they have developed something new in the past three years.

💭 So, what were some of the key proposals in the Small Business Plan to help bring down barriers to digital innovation?

✅ 10 Downing Street will work with industry to support the delivery of taskforce recommendations and to drive up SME digital and AI adoption.

✅ The Government will appoint a minister responsible for SME digital and AI adoption.

✅ There will be a rollout of a ‘test and learn’ approach to digital adoption, helping the Department of Business and Trade to learn the best ways to support SME digital adoption.

@TransportForWM @nxcoventry It was opeated by NX Coventry, the No. 11 heading into Coventry on Tile Hill Lane by Hearsall Common.

[Ian O'Donnell MBE @ianodonnell]

@nxcoventry @TransportForWM I would like to raise a complaint about behaviour of a driver towards me when I was cycling to work this morning, is there an email address I can send details to. I would suggest remedial training is needed & an eyetest as he clearly can't read signs!

[Ian O'Donnell MBE @ianodonnell]

I'm a big advocate for active travel and public transport infrastructure so it disappoints and frustrates me when I see this behaviour from one of your drivers which will put people off using bicyles as a form of transport.

[Ian O'Donnell MBE @ianodonnell]

When I spoke to him at the bus stop in Earlsdon (he was going the same way as me, I did not chase him as he suggested) he proceeded to shout at me about why should tax payers pay for me to ride in a bus lane, suggesting I was not a tax payer (I was on my way to work!)
