Seems like your podcast was not the only one without ads in the ad break @IainDale , the podcast with @NIAbbot and @McGiff didn’t have ads either. Must be a @global problem.

Hi @IainDale , how are you ? Just listened to your latest podcast, which was very interesting. The only thing missing was adverts in the ad break, although this is merely an observation and not a criticism. It was nice to get back to the pod quicker in fact.

Hey @EnglishHeritage , how are you ? We’re going to be visiting some of your attractions on the Isle of Wight in August with a couple of family members. My partner and I are members, do we get a discount for additional guests ?

Hey @Ocado , how’s your evening going ? I just wondered why this product is still out of stock from your Andover CFC. It’s not been available for the last three shops.

Hey @rockonteurs @garyjkemp , I hope you’re well. I think you need to get Flea in, to discuss his career with @ChiliPeppers and his new solo jazz album, where he plays trumpet. 🎺

Hey @Rylan , hope you’re well ? You’ve got to get producer Simon to clip up Sally. When discussing ballet before couch potatoes she came out with the line “I can do it in all 5 positions”. Fantastic clip that can be taken out of context on your show in the future.

Hey @IainDale , all is forgiven, can we have a Tory government back now ? Anybody but this 🚿 of 💩

Hey @BoschGlobal , your Home Appliance app is not letting me connect to my dishwasher anymore after updates. I deleted the dishwasher and now I can’t successfully re-pair it again, with error codes constantly appearing.

Hi @IainDale , how are you ? I don’t know if you’re going to mention about the sacking of Scott Mills from the Radio 2 breakfast show, or is it an unwritten rule to not talk about rival radio stations ?

Hey @scott_mills , what’s happened ? I can’t believe the news from the 3pm hour on Trevor Nelson’s show.

Hey @andersen_ev , how are you ? I’m currently charging my car in the daytime with bright sunshine and solar panels. Strangely, the app is not showing any power to the EV from my solar panels, even though I’m charging at 7kw and the grid contribution is 5.4kw

Hey @ring , how are you ? Do you know where I can get hold of the tiny rubber washers to place on the screw on the underside of the stick up cam ? I’ve not got the original one and I’m concerned that it may be fully waterproofed without it, and cause damage to the unit.

Hey @garyjkemp hope you’re well. Enjoying the latest guests. Any chance of getting Stevie Winwood on @rockonteurs ? His album from 1986 is imprinted on my memory, sitting in the back of my dad’s car with him playing the tapes as a 6/7 year old.

Hi @OctopusEnergy . I’m in the process of having an EV charger installed at my property. Do I need to get the overnight tariff in place before EV charger installation or after ?

Hi @RoyalMail , I posted a package on a tracked service yesterday, and it doesn’t appear to have even left my local branch. No tracking into depots near me or near the recipient ? Can you advise where my package is ?

Hi @EE I want to upgrade my iPhone, and had a question regarding my current iPhone 11. I wan to trade in as part of the upgrade, but there’s a slight crack in the very top left of the screen and it’s difficult to get some cables to work with charging.Can I still get something ?

Hey @KelloggCompany , am I right in thinking that if there was demand for a discontinued line, like Kelloggs Start breakfast cereal, you still have the recipe and could start production again ? I miss this cereal, it was one of my favourites.

Hey @HawkConservancy . Can I confirm that a two year old child is free for the Christmas market events later this month ?
