@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret : very disappointed to hear your Pivotal ad, explicitly promoting Range Rover, Defender, Discovery. Oversize SUVs like these are a menace on our streets, a danger to pedestrians and other road users.

@KingstonCycling @ContactKingston @TfL Thanks, I reported to TFL Streetcare but they closed the case a few days later, saying they'd checked and all was working correctly. But it's still the same, still not reacting to approaching bikes. Grrr!

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@ContactKingston : traffic lights at bottom of Cranes Park usually don't detect bikes, often not cars either. Same approaching other direction from Beaufort Road. Often have to wait ages for them to eventually time out. @KingstonCycling

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@networkrail: Idling cars both sides of the Elm Road level crossing. How about signs on the gates?
There are signs about idling but high up and further back, easy for drivers at the front of the queue to miss or ignore.

@TofooCo: pleased to see your new tempeh pieces now Plant Power stopped making theirs.
But you've put gluten them so I can't buy them :(
GF soy sauce isn't hard to find, don't ruin a product for such a pointless reason.

@KingstonCycling I've seen reports of thieves cutting through stands rather than locks to steal bikes.
Would it make sense to advise that the tubes of stands are filled with gravel/sand/concrete on installation to blunt tools if this is attempted?

@Spooncereals: @Waitrose appear to be de-listing you, only one variety left in Surbiton (Kingston too I think), and it's not the best one (cinnamon and pecan)

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@RamonasKitchen1: The shelf life of your #houmous is a game changer. I can buy 2 at a time so we never run out. How do you do it? Supermarket own brands go fizzy in less than a week.

@OAlexanderDK How about a clearly stated policy of providing 1 ATACMS for each missile fired by Russia at Ukraine. Then it will be Russia causing escalation, not the west.

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@KingstonCycling @MPSGrove Why are cordless angle grinders not regulated?
Do they have any purpose other than stealing bikes?

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@BBCr4today : Re. Adele residency; what's the carbon impact of a residency like this? Presumably most of the audience fly to Las Vegas for these shows.

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@TimHarford : 'Understand the Economy' - Great show!
I've often wondered: is growth net of inflation? Say right now we have 10% inflation and 2% growth - does that mean 2% more goods & services by value (i.e. about 8% less activity) or 2% more activity (so ~12% more value?)

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@bbcshowstours No, door staff didn't scan our tickets.
How many do you have recorded as turned away? We were told we were 11 & 12, and 2 more arrived while we were there. This was at 6:30 so could have been more.

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@bbcshowstours:
Very pleased to get tickets for The News Quiz last night.
Less pleased to travel to central London with my daughter and be turned away at the door.
Isn't there a way to allocate tickets that doesn't require some to make pointless journeys and waste their evenings?

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@bbcshowstours "Those turned away have been sent tickets for 12 May" - Not me!

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@pieminister Congratulations for winning the British Pie Awards - but where can I buy this pie? You seemed to discontinue your GF veggie pies last year and I haven't seen any since.

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@pieminister : what's happened to your #glutenfree Olivia and Heidi pies? They were always hard to find (only Sainsbury's, not Waitrose had them) but now they seem to have gone altogether :(

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@bbcshowstours :
I've got 2 tickets for The Now Show in a couple of weeks. Was hoping to take my 16yr old daughter, but I see age limit is 18. Is this a strict limit, even accompanied by a parent? I'm sure she won't be shocked by a tea time R4 show.

[rob crompton @rcrompton]

@TicketmasterCS :
I just bought a ticket for Latitude festival, Barclaycard presale. It's supposed to be for my daughter, but there was no opportunity to set the name for the ticketholder, so now it's in my name.
Can I transfer it?
Thanks, Rob.
