@TNLUK The new website is awful. I can't see any of my upcoming direct debit tickets for this week's draws, are they there? Also why isn't there an option to view tickets by draw date?

@CeliaRichards0n I notice you have Nether Wallop but what about Over Wallop? Always made my non-Hampshire friends snigger when we drove through.

New National Trust map of strange place names. Very shocked to find there’s a Great Bottom Flash. That’s Hampshire for you.

I’m exploring the idea of a reverse hibernation for Goths, paled skinned Brits, red-heads, and just anyone who hates this heat and is currently melting in the UK. It will involve spending summer in a freezer. Who’s with me?

@WillNewton38457 @BBCNewsPR Sorry meant to add, that, as the Israeli government won't let journalists into Gaza, all UK news organisations have to rely on reliable eyewitnesses from inside Gaza for reports & the BBC reporting from inside Gaza on this was the same as Sky, C4, ITN etc.

@BBCNewsPR What’s true is that you reported what Hamas said quickly without fact-checking or independently verifying their claims. That included push notifications. When Israel denied the claims, there was no such rush or desire for you to make that clear.

@Frances_Coppola Its a single camera shoot with Louis there all the time, only one filming credit to the director.

@patyale @carolecadwalla I withdrew my support as soon as I realised that the Scott Trust were also 'paying' Tortoise £5 million to take The Observer off their hands & how little they care about the journalists that make the Guardian what it is.

@carolecadwalla Still astounded at how we the supporting readers were never consulted about any of this (but then the journos who worked for Guardian weren't either, I think). Still toying with withdrawing my support. Trouble is where else do we get even vaguely left-of-centre news?

Cllr Jeremy Adams 🇬🇧 🇺🇦
We asked residents on Mackenzie Road if they want to keep the 20mph limit and one-way system, after a suggestion from Bromley's councillor in charge of transport to ditch these measures. Residents overwhelmingly want to keep things the same. @JoshHereAtLast @JessicaLArnold

@TycjanC @civetta @JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds At the moment Sounds is not geoblocked, so anyone in the world can listen there, but it is going to change. For TV there is something called SER where in certain European countries some services are authorised to carry the BBC & there are payments made to everyone for this use.

I’ve just discovered that very soon I will no longer be able to listen to @BBCSounds when I’m outside the UK. This is devastating for all our overseas listeners

@civetta @JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds The presenter & any audio from any football match including commentary will have been cleared for broadcast in the UK & ROI only, so if they fed this to Spain there would be additional payments. BBC did look into this but not enough people overseas wanted to pay for the service.

@JackieDobbyne @thatkirstylang @sue_panter @BBCSounds Also producers are increasingly underwriting the costs of production so need to be able to sell their programming to cover these costs. None of the UK PSBs or their counterparts overseas have Netflix or Amazon style budgets to be able to acquire worldwide rights.

@RebeccaCait04 @KyleLabour2112 Look at the language they've used, implying that everyone on benefits needs to be 'encouraged back to work' by cutting their benefits, ie. they are lazy & expect to be kept by the state. Which is papably not true. Also no one under 22 is sick or disabled? Its awful.
