The @BBC continue to mess up some good ideas. The Finish Line is a good idea - unfortunately the dire puns and needless ‘catchphrases’ just don’t cut it. Tolerability is now at my tipping point. #thefinishline

To @ScotGov & @WelshGovernment - Why is greyhound racing banned but not horse racing considering the injuries and fatalities involved? 🤨

So @alibi_channel Do producers/writers not realise the clumsiness of Llewellyn Watts in #MurdochMysteries spoils an otherwise good programme. Such a shame 😡.

@Morrisons 1. It would be helpful if parking charges were shown on Morrisons website for each store. Ways of payment should also be shown, card/cash. 2. Are parking charges refundable in store? 3. Web form (email us) fails to recognise post code.

If Richard Osman is replaced on @BBC House of Games - please ask the new host not to preempt the final buzzer - cos it’s SOOOO ANNOYING.

@RoyalMail There has to be a more efficient way to upgrade our postboxes - ours, and many others, have been out of action for weeks wrapped in black plastic. (Ours is a priority post box but alas we need to trek some distance to find another) Definitely a poor showing for RM.

How about @ITV have a new private detective series featuring Tom & Joyce Barnaby? Should be good tv. #MidsomerMurders

Oh what a load of rubbish #SilentWitness has become. Time for @BBC to retire this tired series. (But of course they won’t)

@PotteryThrow Do we really have to endure the infantile opening ‘comedy’ sequence on every show? Just like BakeOff it isn’t needed - there’s enough so-called comedy daftness during the show. #potterythrowdown

@FIAFormulaE - would it be possible for you to change the numbers font on the on-screen info during races? The current font for 9 and 6 can be interpreted as 0, which is rather confusing. Thanks.

Zero-Emission Vehicle mandate is highly beneficial to Chinese automakers, creating a significant advantage for them. #ZEV

More tech issues with @skyuk / @skytv using #skystream - this time watching Great Mystery channel where subtitles are always (unusually!) on and cannot be turned off. I’m beginning to regret buying Sky - hope all is sorted before renewal. I can’t be the only person affected ☹️.

It seems it’s beyond the technical expertise of @skyuk / @skytv to insert advert breaks in their correct place whilst I’m watching #Annika on catchup with #skystream. Maybe Sky need to invest in more competent technicians. This is yet another poor showing by Sky. 🙄

@skytv need to stop ad breaks freezing during channel5 catchup programmes on SkyStream. It’s a deal breaker.😡

Now fixed in latest update - thanks

@coopuk Just so you know - the current Coop app is not opening in Apple devices!

You probably know by now I have a down on @BBCBargainHunt. Today’s was a really dismal and bloated affair made worse by the grating voice of Danny Sebastian (though he’s only one of the poor lead presenters currently on offer). Must be time to give this programme the boot.

Two things @reformparty_uk could add to their Wales priorities - assuming a majority in the Senedd:- 1. Access to readily available NHS dentists. 2. Repeal dual language requirement for road signs. (Don’t suggest this before election)

I think the @BBC should consider showing re-runs of Tim Wonnacott’s Bargain Hunt because they are far better than the current post Tim offerings. But I also think the BBC know this and are scared to show it.
