A very long shot - I took this picture in Lewes, East Sussex in March and would love to give the adorable couple a print, anyone knows who they are? [Hopefully this won't be a Cold Play Kiss Cam thing].

@JournalistJill I had to hold my nose and tactically vote today. Unfortunately spoiling my ballot has become an all too common occurrence.

Saying to husband on way to polling station that I used to LOVE voting. I loved putting my X next to a name, feeling like my voice counted. That I was making some difference. Now I just want to write: ‘You’re all wankers’ over my ballot paper. I didn’t. But I thought about it.

@bindelj I had a rather one sided "conversation" with a local Lib Dem representative outside my polling station. She is now much better informed of my views on female sport, female safe spaces, female refuges and female facilities as well as a reminder of the Supreme Court ruling.

Just had the most satisfying time at the polling station. I told the Green Party rep exactly how I felt about their policies. He was ashen by the end of it. Serves him right.

@Drewsnews22 @richardosman @AGH1494 It used to be the case, don't know if it still is, that the BBC3 and BBC4 bandwidths are used by CBeebies and CBBC up until 7pm so those channels can't be utilised during the day.

@richardosman @AGH1494 Why can’t BBC4 be broadcast all day and put the snooker on there. I’m a big fan but I can see how it upsets non snooker fans?

Let's recap the BBC's decision making. Extend snooker until 18:30, 18:30 comes, bump off one of the most extraordinary frames of world championship snooker for Richard Osman. Make the red button and iPlayer impossible to use/find the snooker. GO back to snooker at 7pm anyway. 👍

@GuruGosling @tomscrace They don't have to have but there is a theory (I think debunked) that the horses legs being raised indicates death in battle

Here is my suggestion for an appropriate memorial for Her Late Majesty, of blessed and happy memory. It sits across Horse Guards Road, at the Mall end.

@QeenKGino @BobbyInTheNorth @donmcgowan It's about a mile away from the school in the town centre opposite Weatherspoons. The emblem you can see is the town emblem and it's on the side of a Social Club (hence the advert for Sky).

@BobbyInTheNorth @donmcgowan It's outside the School, the school emblem on the building is behind them in the video .. What i said still stands regardless unless you have evidence that prior permission wasn't sought then this is speculative nonsense !

An awful lot of Farage Fans in the replies to my post don't/won't understand what I've written. As a Scout leader of many years and parent to a Year 7 son, I know of what I speak. Without consent, publishing children's images online could be illegal. “If a student can be identified from a photograph, it counts as personal data and falls under data protection laws.” This is serious stuff and something that all schools, clubs and institutions should be well versed in. GDPR breaches are grave and can result in very serious consequences, especially when children are involved. Here's some guidance from the Gov and legal firm, Irwin & Mitchell.

I wonder if Reform UK sought the express permission of parents, to use images of their children online? As a parent of a school age kid, I have to sign all sorts to give consent for this type of situation. This is a genuine safeguarding issue.

@WulfrunianChris They are about a mile away from the nearest school. This film was taken in the town centre opposite the local Weatherspoons. The logo you see in the background is on the side of a working men's social club. I think Farage is a tw*t but these kids are not in or near a school.

@Sto11235813 So this is being positioned by them as if they didn’t. There doesn’t appear to be a DBSd member of school staff in shot so assumedly was ad hoc on the street.

@nickimoraa I think it tends to be a man/woman, long hair/short hair and height thing. Face into the shower with long hair (mainly women) and it's like being water boarded if the shower hits you in the face (shorter women) rather than the chest (taller men).

I jus saw that showering backwards is a sign of neurodivergence 🥴 I thought everyone showered with their back toward the shower head. That’s not a thing?

@DYSONlife4real @grieve51166 Many scans can be done whilst you're bleeding, women with fibroids (which is a possibility in your case) often bleed all the time but still have scans & procedures. I know it's icky but staff are used to it so unless you've specifically been told to wait do consider it.

Weird thing about Travelodge comms: ‘They followed procedures correctly’ = WORST possible message. Implies anyone staying in any Travelodge can expect staff to hand out room keys in the middle of the night to anyone who knows your name. Doubt that was the crisis comms goal.

I’m so confused by Cilla Black. Why was she such a massive celebrity? She’s like the worst chorus singer at a regional production of Pingu The Musical

@lodeslan I *think* that all that's needed is for those local businesses to tell Google they exist. Might be wrong, I'm sure Twitter will let me know!

Looking to buy some lunch on a work trip in rural NE Wales, I Googled and was offered a selection of quite distant supermarkets. Followed my nose to a lovely independant shop in a splendidly scenic village. Can't we have an anti-corporate search system?

@TimboJ @MartinSLewis It's totally legal for grand parents to buy bonds for children. Each child has their own premium bond account (controlled by parent) so there would be one specific owner of the winning bond.

@MartinSLewis irrespective of the legality of under 10s owning the bonds, unless the grandparents specified which child should get which bond and that it's that way to ensure the prizes are specific to the child, then it's always potluck which child would get the winning bond.

Today's Poll: Two sisters age under 10 are gifted Premium Bonds by grandparents. Against the odds one wins £50,000. Should the parents split the win equally between em or leave it as winner takes ALL?
