Hi @cineworld please rethink this part of the new app or at least explain why. So a family of four with cards now have to make four separate bookings and hope that nobody books seats next to them while doing so? Surely that’s a backwards step to improvement?

Can you clarify that this means I won't be able to book 3 seats together so myself and 2 other unlimited members can sit next to each other?
I've been an Unlimited holder for ages and routinely go with my friends/family but I'll probably cancel if this is the case.
@cineworld
So @cineworld is gong to replace the app & make it impossible to book multiple Unlimited card seats at once... Will this change being any positives?
And are Unlimited members going to start getting issues of "leaving a single seat", if no longer able to book for 2 at a time?
Facebook/Meta has now become another org that thinks it can get away with charging us a fee for our legal right to decline analysis of content & targeted adverts. For small local news sites I was willing to look the other way - but Meta is hardly small or struggling. Not on.

As many as 1,000 people are thought to have died in French Indian Ocean islands of Mayotte after #CycloneChido. 20,000 are thought homeless in Mozambique; @Tearfund plan to help rebuild a storm-damaged church that had wanted to offer shelter - listen🔊: timbre-player.sharp-stream.c…
@RoyalMailHelp @RoyalMail how do you know "over gate" is a "safe place"? Has this been nominated as a "safe place" with you?
(I'll give you a hint: it hasn't).
Marginally better than leaving it in full view, but how do you know it won't be damaged on landing, or rain?
One of the great things about @RoyalMail used to be that if something wasn't delivered, you knew exactly where to go to get it, and that it would be safe there. No more.
So it's not dead, and I can "import" previous settings, but I still need to recreate half my previous columns and settings from scratch. Poor show @Twitter.

This one is from the heart. We shouldn't have to explain radio to the people at the BBC who are supposed to run it in our name. But, just in case - here are a few words from the people who really matter.

Is anyone else having trouble with adding #ALTtext for images on @Twitter? It deletes the image and reverts the tweet to its original state, as of a couple of days ago. Tweetdeck still seems unaffected, but I can't post all my work tweets from there & want to add #accessibility
#uksnow 5/10 in ST4, has been coming down at varying levels for about 4 hours now. Settling on roofs and plants, but not really on roads
@IKEAUK you really have problems with your IT systems not talking to reach other. Yesterday I had an online click & collect order where items that were in stock when ordered had gone out of stock when we turned up to collect...

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 14 Aug 2009 (via @twi_age).
Not sure how much attention to give anyone suggesting 36hr rail strikes from evening of 24th Dec will affect passengers. Even pre-COVID, no passenger trains ran in GB on Christmas Day, virtually none on Boxing Day either, and Christmas Eve always has early shutdown.
For example, here is pre-strike planned end-of-service for Christmas Eve on LNER (London-Edinburgh etc). If striking workers do not 'book on' after 6pm, even these last trains might still happen (a hunch, not a prediction) - please check for updates before relying on last trains.
Woken today by what I'm fairly sure was an owl, hooting in the nearby park. At 3.55am.
Just as well I'm on the early shift.

After conversation with @paulhucb a little earlier, can anyone here shed light on the approximate cost to bake a single slice of cake for every UK resident?
