To @clearabee You might deal in people’s rubbish removal, but why is your customer complaints team absolute rubbish when it comes to dealing with issues caused by some of your inept staff ? You don’t respond to emails, phone calls or texts. Maybe you’ll respond to a solicitor ?

@BBCSteveR Wonderful Steve. Thank you.

This year ITV turns 70. I miss the ITV I grew up with: a network of local TV stations with their own identities. So, from Anglia to Thames, here’s my tribute to regional ITV and its jingles.

@la_riviere What a legend ! Just the perfect clip Stephen.

Good bye David Graham. What a talent.

@Imi_Ahmed 100% agree with your comments on social media and clarification on its dangers and being taken on face value. Probably the best explanation I’ve ever seen. Thank you Imran.

I’ve just found this Thames junction which clearly didn’t go according to plan technically including an unscheduled, though unlit appearance by myself as duty announcer, though captioned Paul Larsmon, still in the system from an earlier Thames News; never knew this had happened!

@D_Blanchflower @UKLabour Hello Danny. I wonder if you could explain to me please where and how does the Bank and government come by the 2% inflation target that they are desperate to hit. Is it ever, or could it ever be changed ? And how does that figure compare to other G7 countries.

@seeingeyetv Well excuse me! If you don’t know by now , then it’s too late. 😜

Time for one of the occasional posts from my archive. 35 years to the day, my announcing debut on Thames. The 10th January 1989. WOW how time flies!

@nicholasoliver As there’s me thinking we both started at one of the new franchises that same year. 😉

@marklipscomb And my first visit to Thames was only a couple of months later I think! (I thought you'd been there since 1968!)

@D_Blanchflower @PippaMusgrave1 Bailey admitted full effects of rate rises had yet to filter into the system and economy. BOE has been far too aggressive with the rises.He’s seemed obsessed he can curb globally caused UK high inflation that would have reduced itself naturally.BOE caused longer, deeper problems.

@marklipscomb @DylanDylan1909 @GavinMa54700685 @superstarlee @wesleysmithtv @_alexforrest There's still a road sign for 'Central TV', I think.

@PaulRowleyRadio @bauermedia Big mistake yet again!!

Radio City is dropping its name in its Golden Jubilee year. From April it’ll be known as Hits Radio Liverpool. Isn’t there a case for @bauermedia⁩ to at least wait until after its 50th birthday on October 21? I was on air that 1st week. Great memories. planetradio.co.uk/city/station/o…

@GavinMa54700685 @superstarlee @wesleysmithtv @DylanDylan1909 @_alexforrest The building was still standing a couple of months ago Gavin.

@superstarlee @wesleysmithtv @DylanDylan1909 @_alexforrest Yes that is the place. But it has got knock down sadly

@NickyHorne @BBC Isn’t it way time the Commons Media committee investigated this and questioned Mr Horton and Co again about this disaster.

@DistinctbyMIM So what are they going to replace this with in the schedules…. How about “More Homes Under The Hammer “or “Further Bargain Hunt”

Not sure axing #Doctors sends out the best message. Doing well in daytime, good for actors & new writers to cut their teeth. It’s only a year or so ago they were airing it in evenings to increase its coverage. It adds to a general myth of decline. The #BBC never helps itself.

@rewind_ttvr Alan Turton is the Central announcer. Nice to see the clip of former colleague and former Tyne Tees newsreader and reporter , Maria Coyle.

@NickyHorne @DavidLloydRADIO An interesting read. Former BBC radio Managing Editor Dr Liam McCarthy writes to Tim Davie over BBC local radio changes radiotoday.co.uk/2023/05/former…

@NickyHorne @BBC BBC staff have been subject to 'gagging clauses' and fear losing their redundancy pay if they speak out about local radio cuts, MPs have heard.

@NickyHorne Hello Nicky. Please could you give me a follow as I have some info and thoughts for you following your recent radio tweets. Regards Mark

@NickyHorne @BBC I seriously think the BBCs so called head of HR or whatever inflated title they go by,should be called before the Commons Culture and Media committee to answer questions on how they have failed abysmally in their “Duty of Care “ to staff over this.
