It was 2026 when you could pay £13.30 for a large meal in @McDonaldsUK and £8.90 for a Large Big Mac Meal. I have already swapped to Wetherspoon for Breakfast.

Some Import Tax is going to be removed in the UK so we are more reliant on imported goods and encourage people to buy. 🤔 I don't feel that fixes our issue with our national debt. It's completely opposite what other countries are doing.

I have always found it romantic to say someone can not be replaced and so I support your decision and look forward to the future. Thank you both for the entertainment and humour.

£6 Unlimited Unlock is no longer available which was easy to understand. Now @BerylBikes are now offering BerylGo in the Bournemouth area for 20 minutes. Seems very confusing and with buses costing £1. A 20 minute ride currently costs me £1.40, but most of my rides are shorter.

I understand Beryl would prefer a constant income stream, but as a customer I want the cheapest form of transport without doing the Maths. The £6 a Month Unlimited Unlock encouraged me to use the electric bikes which normal cost a £1 to unlock. They got the £6, I got a benefit.

They still haven't adopted my format change in #lastonelaughing to play the laughter of Jimmy Carr into the room. Laughter creates Laughter.

Amol Rajan has left the BBC and his salary, he got full payment for one episode of #TheCelebrityTraitors and now he's back taking BBC money on #hignfy. When will this guy let go?

Joe Tidy just got the sack. Author, Keynote speaker, all the red flags were there.

Adam Brown has been a hard listen on @RadioX this week covering for Chris Moyles. He doesn't spend any time talking to his producer and seems to be in a rush to play the next song. I do wonder why people like him get into Radio if they don't want to learn the craft.

Does anyone know if the rumours are true that Chris Moyles is joining the new GB Music Radio? His entire team is off this week which is unusual, they never take holiday at the same time.

Chris Moyles is on holiday this week so I will be winding the breakfast dial starting with Greg James on BBC Radio 1. It seems he's still on his own.

Greg James is even noting himself that he had to do a 'hand break turn' and classic Radio 1 'whiplash' in reference to the music played. There has been no flow to the music choice so far. I have asked the GenZ in the office if he would listen to this, answer, No.

At one point they even played an entire song that wasn't in English. Breaking up the songs with group chat would help the random song choice but Greg James is on his own. Is he on his own all week?

I have been saying if the Hospitality Industry wants the Government's Ear they must Export to bring money into the UK. So it's good to see Loungers following Wetherspoon* lead but the question is the supply chain from the UK or are they simply buying locally. * aimed at Brits
So, second new opening of the week from Loungers & this one is a very, very special one. I’m delighted to report that after 2.5 years in the making we have opened our first site in Germany. Southville is located in the Rüttenscheid region of Essen & is our 321st overall site.

I finally upgraded to Alexa+ and while you can now have a conversation with her (as you can with any AI) the Old-Alexa functionality has slowed down, eg asking for the Time, Settings Timers, Switching IoT Lights. I have already downgraded to th old voice. I might revert back.

I guess you can summarise this experience as functionality creep where you want to use a product for one use but added features degrades the experience. Facebook being a good example.

Live BBC News is now available on YouTube. A little cart before the horse in my opinion. You put the Licence Fee on the Broadband first, then it doesn't matter where you watch the BBC. But considering its News, it maybe a little soft power into the USA. youtube.com/live/PmmEevogFZg…

It was only a matter of time. Ironic thing is Store control has been around way before the Internet and IoT. Most likely this was attacking old Tech
