@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 - hello, Purcell was appointed to @wabbey and not to Westminster Cathedral.

@MPLaeroport Du vin blanc servi à température ambiante dans un gobelet en carton, et il n'y a pas de glaçons disponibles pour le rafraîchir. Urgghh! C'est toujours mon experience @MPLaeroport

@easyJet @TravDr my light-hearted observation about @easyJet tannoy announcements have resulted in some fake EasyJet accounts trying to get in touch with me to award me compensation! Clinking on their links would have been dangerous. Perhaps worth sharing in @thetimes?

@easyJet overheard in overcrowded departure lounge 103 for this evening's delayed flight to Montpellier: (in French) excuse me, did you understand that announcement? No, and I'm English. Easyjet staff could usefully be trained to speak slowly and clearly, if only in English.

@ArchdeaconLuke Hideous. A blight.

@MannGeorgia did you mean to call Mozart a cad earlier, or did you mean card? I thought it should have been the latter, particularly in the context of the Musical Joke. Obviously he was a colourful character (purple even) in his time, and perhaps even a cad!

@soobruce @BBCr4today @BBCWorldatOne @BBCPM Agreed!

@BBCr4today @BBCWorldatOne @BBCPM Currently listening to Today on BBC Sounds app from France. Don’t understand why we can’t have a subscription model for this convenient way of listening.

Want to listen to #R4Today from outside the UK? 📻 Overseas listeners can now listen to Today, @BBCWorldatOne, @BBCPM and Broadcasting House at any time on catch-up. 📱 Go to bbc.com/audio/category…

@bbcpaddy @BBCRadio4 surely if that were Great Tom chiming 9am then you haven't just replaced Big Ben but have moved us to Oxford Time too?!

@SqMileChurches Just in front of St Paul's, surely?!

Just behind St Paul’s, tucked away on Ludgate Hill, sits one of Wren’s hidden gems, St Martin Ludgate. Its spire aligns perfectly behind the cathedral from Fleet Street. Often missed, but well worth a visit. Peaceful, historic, and full of charm. #LondonHistory

@ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK am wondering whether the merger with @VodafoneUK is responsible for most of a day last week with no phone service and, today, virtually no mobile broadband service in the EC4Y area. The mobile broadband router is usually pretty good but not today!

Ooh! Just on again!

@BBCRadio3 Anna Lapwood is marvellous but I sometimes think that @BBCRadio3 is slightly obsessed with her. She seems to be mentioned or played on a daily basis!

@wabbey @christian_aid Now corrected. You're welcome!

@wabbey @christian_aid Hi, it's Sarah not Sara Mullally. Seems to be wrong at least twice so not just a typo. Order of service has it right.

Earlier today, we celebrated the 80th anniversary of @christian_aid at a special service here at the Abbey. The service gave thanks for the charity's life and witness, and reflected on its work to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. You can find out more and see pictures from the service at: westminster-abbey.org/abbey-news/chr…

It has to be said that CofE processes are just laughable when compared with the efficiency of the RC church and the election of the new pope. Lord Evans must have done something wrong to be holding this particular baby! x.com/ChurchTimes/st…

@CityWestminster @SMBSLondon @CityWestminster - it is STILL there!!! Why?!

@CityWestminster to add to your list no doubt! Outside @SMBSLondon. Not sure what purpose it served anyway!

@ChurchTimes And it's sorted! Thank you.

@DWRICHARDS Dear Mr Richards, I will look into this, thank you for bringing it to our attention. Kind regards, Emily

@ChurchTimes Is it extremely sad of me, when there are more important things in the world, to be concerned that for many months now the fourth item on your daily email "In the news today" always uses a different font? Might someone take a look at this crucial matter (for me)?!

@mrsteedUK Never heard of it!
