@waitrose Then may I suggest you increase manned checkouts. I have no problem with self service for,those who like them but by cutting the number of manned checkouts you are restricting choice. That is my main point. Thanks for your response

Anyone else dislike that Prince William and the kids only go to the men’s final? #wimbledon

@adamboultonTABB There are words I don’t like to use in public. I leave them to your imagination. All I will say is that my contempt for you and what I feel is unprintable. You are a vile person and should be ashamed ed of yourself.

AN APOLOGY I was seriously wrong and insensitive in one of the several media appearances I made yesterday in reaction to the death of Ann Widdecombe. I got the timing and tone of my initial word portrait of her wrong. Of course I shared, and share, the horror at her murder and the respect for her remarkable and feisty political career. I also know that many people loved her for her subsequent showbiz stardom. Her untimely death is a horrible thing. My mistaken view was that in the context of rolling news coverage, I was being asked to contribute as an obituarist who has known her and interacted with her since the 1980s. This approach was premature. At no point was I expressing my personal feelings about her, that's not what I do. I was discussing her life in the round, based on the record of known facts and what she has said about herself, along with some recollections of our personal interactions. My choice of words on the spur of the moment was clumsy. I did not intend to offend though obviously I did.

@bbcsports @Wimbledon Please please please give us a commentary free alternative for Wimbledon next year. The commentary this year, with a few exceptions, has been banal, boring, non stop over the tennis thru the game. Just STOP

Politics aside you have to be a very spiteful and vile individual to think this is normal behaviour. But seen this so often with the peaceful and loving lefties.

@adamboultonTABB I really think you need to dial it down a bit. You were in the wrong and rather stupid to be honest so I suggest you stop being so aggressive or admit you made a fool of yourself. Honestly, please do.

Well you’ve obviously forgotten a trumped up Wiltshire police investigation
Jo Palmer@alps2018

Bloody hell Adam Boulton @SkyNews describing Ann Widdecombe as an 'old maid' because she was unmarried & didn't have children. I don't remember such archaic slurs about Edward Heath when he died.

@PeterTatchell You should be ashamed of yourself that an apology was necessary. You are a grown up. Behave like one. Do you think, much as I disagree with some of your views, I would rejoice if you were murdered. I would not.
