@premnsikka Popping back to Twitter to remind that members can vote against this ridiculousness before or during the AGM. Check your email.

Nationwide Building Society to hike CEO pay package by 43% to £7m. Interest on savings down. Workers won't get 43% pay rise No sector immune to fat-cattery. Govt says wage rises are inflationary but silence on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

@tescobankhelp I popped into online banking to close 3 accounts that have been sitting in there for ages and was reminded that I hadn’t done it as there is no easy way to do so?! Certainly not worth 50p of my time! You may want to tidy things up, however?

I've been directed to raise this with @Help_C2C Diolch.

@cardiffcouncil Driver illegality at Sanatorium Rod - Broad Street junction again today - it happens more often than not. How do we petition to get a camera installed? It's an active travel route to school and is dangerous. Diolch. cc @stephencunnah

@GoSafeCymru Also strikes me that this is a far more important location to place an enforcement camera than the new one down Cardiff Bay we fell foul of recently!

I'd already forgotten quite how bad it was this morning ... I'd try reporting that brown MPV to @GoSafeCymru if I could get a licence.

@MoneySavingExp I think it is the postcode lookup code itself, the step before matching with a supplier- there are 2 properties at my address so maybe the web site code is buggy and not displaying either address because of that? Only thing I can think of. Just switched directly with BG instead.

@olops Hi Chris - I'm sorry to hear your address isn't listed on site. The address lookup uses electricity industry database, so you may want to ask British Gas to check how your address is registered. Any changes made will then filter through to our address lookup. - MSE Beth.

@MoneySavingExp @MartinSLewis FYI Cheap Energy Club isn't finding my address. This used to work. It's missing from the DDL. Was hoping to get the extra £35 cashback switching to the BG as an existing customer but guess I'll just switch on BG site instead.

bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-un… Couple of son Andy's ex-@RygbiPlasmawr teammates in the squad - Sion and Osian (also ex @ClwbRygbiIau) . Andy chose football at 16 due to rugby injuries affecting football availability. Pandemic didn't help, either! Hope they both go well.

Overtaken by a driver on Pencisely Road this morning- me going the limit (20), BMW driver (obvs) going 40 or so. Hasn't happened for a while but I have hardly been driving. Any chance of some / more enforcement @GoSafeCymru @swpolice ?

@CyclingLawLDN When you have to share the road with homicidal lunatics driving lethal killing machines, they will cut you up or just drive straight over you without a second thought. And despite being in the wrong, they'll think you're the arsehole for being in their way. Never trust a driver.

Witnessed a collision last night where this driver failed to give way or even see the cyclist on the cycle lane and turned across his path of travel, knocking him off. She was very shouty and didn’t accept any wrongdoing and refused to pass her details over. Nice turning too 🙄

You think they've got with the programme ... 'after man drives car into Christmas market, killing five' Then first line in summary: 'after a car drove into crowds' 🤷‍♂️@bbcnews !

BBC News - bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1j0… 'Magdeburg Germany attack updates: Car hits crowds at Christmas market, leaving two dead and 68 injured - BBC News' Car driven into crowd or driver hits crowd far better? Stop attaching agency to machines under human control @BBCNews

A snapshot of how our justice system is failing road crash victims and their families: Redi Muzhaki, 22, from Coventry: - Caused grandmother Linda Boore's (pictured) death through his careless driving on the A46, hitting her car head-on - Critically injured her husband, the passenger - Had no driving licence or insurance He must pay £187 as a victim surcharge, do 200 hours of community service and is banned from driving for 2 years (he doesn't even have a licence now). His three suspended sentences, running concurrently, mean he will avoid jail time.
