@MichaelLCrick Yes, I know what you mean. When my old employer Johnston Press went into voluntary liquidation (emerging the next day - ta da!- as something else) the people who held my share details sent me NINE letters all saying my holding, once worth £27k, was worthless. I just laughed.

@JuliaHB1 @TheSun Julia. We don’t agree on most things (I know you acknowledge that’s allowed). But I, too, liked the Charles portrait despite todays withering critique in the Guardian. Liked the portrait but not a fan of the bloke.

@ECWilsonWriter Shuzzen ruzzen shuzzen ruzzen shuzzen…..older. Much older.

@wesstreeting You said smoking should be consigned to the ‘dustbin’ of history.
Yes, but the ‘ashtray’ of history would have been more appropriate and so much more powerful. Who writes your stuff?

When putting up cctv to catch a nasty prowler has an unexpected upside.

@esmewren
Tonight’s edition of C4 news should make you and your team immensely proud. I speak as a retired provincial newspaper editor so I know f-all about tv but I know about engagement and news and what hits the spot.

@theAliceRoberts Well I was watching Palin on 4 because I mistakenly thought you were on at 9. Changed now.

@MikeLiggins Nice one. This near my village home in east midlands.

@RebeccaRideal Looks fab though. Miss my 1906 house and its fireplaces and wood burner.

@Peston @PaulBrandITV Started reading it, thinking this doesn’t make sense. When the supposed BBC post referred to a tv ‘program’ I knew for sure….

If you’re on national tv, and you’re the spokesman for the opposition treasury, wouldn’t you take your hands out of your pockets?

[jonathan buss @jonathanbuss4]

@DrJaninaRamirez @theAliceRoberts @BBCTwo @BBC Yes, what an excellent two hours of tv. Thank you, Prof Alice and Dr Janina.

@RebeccaRideal It bloody is.

@carolynporco I have whichever model is discarded by a grandson when their iPhone is upgraded by their parents. Works for me!

@iancarterIM What a night. What a goal. He's back. Enjoy.

@iancarterIM 2-0 will help? Me, I'm watching in the east midlands with a bottle of ice cold Chablis. But my dad first took me to the Goldstone in 1959 and I took my kids to Gillingham. So that's ok

@SpencerVignes Gutsy player. Thoughts for Lammie and family.

@SoVeryBritish Bloody hell, I’d forgotten about the parsnips.
