Great speaking with you this afternoon @JaxxSheps on @BBCRadioLondon Total Sport! Our @IBMSports #watsonx team have come up with “@EmmaRaducanu Rise” or “@EmmaRaducanu Ridge” for a potential new name for “The Hill” at @Wimbledon 🎾🍓(They *may* not have used #AI for this 😉)

Binned @GreenFlagUK after 25+ years as they doubled the policy cost when we changed the main driver to our 21 year old son. Since when did the driver make a difference to breakdown cover? His car now added to my @TheRAC_UK policy for <£10 and covered regardless who is driving 🤷‍♂️

My prayers have been answered by @Tesco! Not sure when this change was slipped in, but you can now sort your basket in the app by category! 👏 #GameChanger – at Portsmouth, England
Replying to @Tesco
@Tesco Please would you consider adding a “sort by aisle” function to the shopping basket in your Groceries app, so users can view it organised in the same way as the “Favourites” list? This would be most helpful! Thank you.

Unless you get up in the dead of night to report a noisy aircon system (even when it's turned off), further disrupting both your sleep and then additionally your partner's, then the @premierinn Good Night Guarantee doesn't apply, even if you report it first thing in the morning.

@NationalHways One page on your website says you maintain the A3, but on your "Reporting a problem" page it says "not maintained by us". Which is it please?

A few extracts from a chat I had with Bloomberg at this year’s @Wimbledon Championships in the summer ☀️🎾 @ibm @IBMSports @IBMUKI – at Portsmouth, England
AI-generated images and chatbots get all the hype, but the way artificial intelligence is actually being used today is far more banal A trip to Wimbledon earlier this year yielded some clues
