@Tesco just purchased some Tesco ripen-at-home bananas. In Spar. Is there a business connection here?

@MartinSLewis It may just mean that those who responded to your survey are a bit more savvy

Early results are 90% using actual results (ie SEO) over ads (PPC). I suspect this just shows how well disguised many of the sponsored results are - so people think they're actual results. As if this % were the case Google wouldn't be making that much money!

Today's Poll: When you use a search engine (eg Google) do you typically... - Click the 1ST DECENT RESULT even if it's sponsored (ie a paid for advert) - Avoid the ads, scroll past to the ACTUAL results What's CLOSEST to your situation?

@RoyalMailHelp …contd. the drop-off box that the posties use. It would be good to know if this is policy? If not, a reminder to the local team that customers are not happy. We received a bundle today (rubber banded); last time was last Thursday (same) and the thurs before that

@RoyalMail why does our mail delivery come (in most cases) only once per week- in our case on a Thursday? On a good week we get a second delivery, but the bulk (and it’s usually bulk) comes on a Thursday. This is an established pattern.

@RoyalMailHelp Not sure what benefit there is (to me) of providing this data. It’s not unique to me- it’s normalised sufficiently that there is a degree of acceptance. I’m on Braxfield road- around 1/2 mile from the sorting office and 100 yards from….

Tailoring fit for a King, President Zelensky 👌🇺🇦

A Thread of the work of Japanese artist Lito, known otherwise by his moniker Lito Leaf🧵

@ScotRail And there’s no mention of scotrail on it

@AMNlanark Hi Anne-Marie, I'm not quite sure why that would be - perhaps one of the machines used to be at a station down that way. ^DB

@ScotRail- question: why does a train ticket purchased in the station office in lanark for a trip to Glasgow show as “Ardrossan South Beach” on my credit card app?

@ScotRail The ticket was purchased in the office

@timesscotland @thetimes Every cloud…

@richardosman Got it in 5. This was my 100th in succession, so failure wasn’t an option. Phew

Wordle is really not mucking about today. Good luck everyone!

Thread on "accidental art" 🧵 1. The wear and scuff marks on this boat look like a stunning painting of an island in the sea

@RevRichardColes Oh no, not keen

@British_Airways @DGandyOfficial Hmmm, last time I responded to BA’s invitation to DM with contact information, I was contacted by a scammer, so I wouldn’t recommend that. Wouldn’t it be helpful if they answered the phone?

@DGandyOfficial Hi, please send us your booking reference via DM along with as much information as possible so we can take a closer look. We'll also need you to confirm your full name and contact details. We may need to ask you a few more questions for data protection. Natalie M twitter.com/messages/compo…

Me: so @British_Airways you have oversold the flight. Seats allocated to us have disappeared and you think its ok for my 2 year old to be sat on her own next to a stranger? What if theres an emergency BA: well nothing we can do so yes its ok COME on BA you can do better than this

@austinstacksabu @nytimes Yeah- fibber is a 6-letter word…

@harrisdistiller i have 12 empty bottles (representing quite an investment over some years…)! Do you take these back?? Would be willing to exchange for one full bottle 😜

@fredsirieix1 Hasn’t been off for any serious length of time all “summer” Yes, Scotland

How long before we put the heating back on?

@patrick_kidd I’m probably more surprised at the picture of Joe Jackson of “is she really going out with him?,” fame- who will turn 70 tomorrow…. Strong suspicion that the picture shows Michael Jackson’s father.

Surprised to discover from the birthdays column that Ian McDiarmid is only 80, which means he was in his thirties when he first played the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. Odder than Clive Dunn as Corporal Jones and Stephanie Cole in an old folks home in Waiting for God at 48
