Think it's great that new UK vehicles will have speed-limiters.

So, I've finally moved from Three UK to EE. The service from Three used to be amazing, but for whatever reason, in the past 1-2 years, it's been bad... At least in my area.

If you happen to be the sort of person who wants to get the Tories out then this might be the website you need. #TacticalVoting #ToriesOut

I'd like to vote for Zoë Garbett for London Mayor because she's the best candidate but Susan Hall would be really bad for London so I think I might need to vote for Khan.

Because it's now first past the post and the supplementary vote has been scrapped it's a really poor choice. The electoral system in the UK is broken.

Walking to the bus stop in the rain and there were big puddles by the side of the road. I tried to walk so I would avoid being splashed but one driver was really close and covered me in dirty water!

Lucky for them I knew this might happen so I was carrying my phone on video and caught them doing it.

Under section 3 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 it is illegal to splash a pedestrian because it amounts to driving “without reasonable consideration for other persons”.

So they're getting reported.

Tory MP Felicity Buchan is opposing plans to make #HollandPark roundabout safer after 59 people have been hurt there recently in part because it would allow cyclists from outside her constituency to “cycle in a straight line”.

Wow, this is a great change! There is no reason why people should be using parks as thoroughfares and it's brilliant news!

Simon Reeve has a TV show called #Wilderness where he flies around the world and then drives around remote areas with a fleet of 4x4 vehicles to tell us how global warming is an issue.

Also I'm not sure why these programmes have to be a British person going somewhere remote and trying the local delicacy and saying "they have nothing but they're so friendly".

Couldn't we instead just give a voice to people who are already there?

I would like a system which could determine exactly what type and how much food my body actually needs for a meal and then it orders that to be delivered to me. Like a Black Mirror type of thing.

It's an impressive feat of cognitive dissonance being able to not only think that 15 minute cities is a global conspiracy but also wanting to easily drive to a shopping mall with everything under one roof.

The word "unnouncements" could be used to describe the regular, pointless PA messages at public transport stations which repeatedly play recorded messages nobody needs to hear.
