I rented 50 Lime bikes to see how many had issues! In the process I learned how Lime won't take bikes out of action for future use if you report major issues such as missing seats or flat tyres, due to the risk you're overstating the severity of the problem. www.londoncentric.media/p/we-tested-...
We tested 50 Lime bikes for safety. This is what we found.
"The main issue for me is somebody jumping on a bike that for all intents and purposes looks fine to ride," said our mechanic. Plus: Paying subscribers can view an exclusive documentary of our test.

This morning I got a text from GBNews asking me to go on air to "argue with Martin" about heat pumps. Sadly, as I thought it was pleasingly honest about how they make their shows, they then said they'd texted the wrong Jim. Just watched back and it's a cracking staged argument. x.com/GBNEWS/statu...

This - and the fact that the crew went just there to serve you drinks…
After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

This photo popped up on my memories & was too good not to share.
Two legendary BBC General Election directors & me.
Am so proud to be part of the very small number of people who have sat in the BBC seat as Big Ben strikes 10 & the exit poll is revealed.
I looked up to and learnt from Rob and Claire.

Extraordinary footage.
Unbelievable that everyone was accounted for.
BREAKING: New video from the Delta plane crash in Toronto shows the full extent to crash.

Super work 👏🏼
Today was a good day in work. I'm so proud of my clever colleagues and so impressed by the people who made a thing in 1985 that still looks amazing today.

1. BBC News analysis. It’s 6 mins to pack a lot in. Would have liked to covered NVG and potential flight paths available to the Blackhawk crew after Rwy change to 33.

The BBC gets a lot of stick but their achievements should be praised.

20+ million for two shows is a staggering achievement, especially for two different shows airing on the same day.
BBC: Gavin & Stacey and Wallace & Gromit have surpassed 20 million viewers.

Gavin & Stacey: 20.9 million
Wallace & Gromit: 21.6 million.

The BBC at its best. 💥👏🏻👍🏼
The six o’clock news on BBC One on inauguration day required all 16 of the outside sources available into studio B (and a couple of them were even switched mid-show). It was a hell of a thing to have directed but everyone in our fabulous team made it happen and made it happen brilliantly.

Kid Rock flirting on BBC News is some of the most awkward television you'll see this year.

Just superb… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This year ITV turns 70. I miss the ITV I grew up with: a network of local TV stations with their own identities. So, from Anglia to Thames, here’s my tribute to regional ITV and its jingles.

Feel for all the presenters on roofs around DC on Monday. With temps set to hit -12C and the ceremony set to be moved inside I’m reminded of the 2nd Inauguration of Bush where I got so many fan heaters for the live position - the presenter actually said it was a bit too warm!

One year ago since “Channel Islands” was said instead of “Natalie” at the end of a broadcast.

Devastating.
Heartbreaking.
I spent many many happy years in the Palisades at my godfathers house.
He moved back to the UK years ago but one of my friends covering the fires has just sent me these.
I have no words.

It’s doing everything it was designed to do…
Surely Studio B is the best TV news studio in the world. #BBCNews
