  @BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Pavement parking is an issue. Local government needs to review pavements not just concentrate on fining motorists who are trying to keep carriageways clear. Pavements vary in width across all authorities without rhyme or reason. A metre could be taken off many pavements.

  @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Invading the pitch isn’t the issue, the retaliation from Huns was the issue. 100% of the blame like with the Ibrox club and they need to do better in the future

  @StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer Dermot just summed up the problem quite clearly there without even realising what he just done.

  @bbceastenders @BBC @BBCiPlayer Denzel brought bad medicine into the house. Now Yolande must find an Obeah man to fix this. And she won't find one in yellow pages.

  @StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer The problem is in their own community.

  @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer This afternoon's commentators on Si Jiahui v Hossein Vafaei are awful. Snooker is an interesting game. This pair are better off on mute

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer How many extra people have moved to the UK since 2000? Answer that and you’ve answered the reason behind the housing problem!

  The @BBC tvos @BBCiPlayer app won’t allow a login (even after reinstalling) but allows you to continue as a guest. Fine but excpet for live TV everything appears to be age restricted even on CBBC!!

  @BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Another big issue with pavement parking is new estates, often flats in converted commercial buildings not having to provide enough parking as local councils think it’ll encourage people to use public transport rather than cars. This will never work!

  @BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer What a poor game, Ross County proving they are worst team in the division and Colin Steven proving he is worst ref in Scotland.

  @BBCArchive @BBCiPlayer the phrase “eclectic collection” is doing a lot of work in that sentence and i need to know more

  Why has @BBCiPlayer gone from being the best to worst platform for tv?!! Your programmes & indexing & available prog’s are out of date & rubbish!! @TheRepairShop new series live on tv but you can’t watch on iPlayer - that’s just one example. Come on, where’s my licence fee going?

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Perhaps making it clear what conditions it does and doesn’t treat would help And having a 🇫🇷 style insurance system

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne And straight away FB is focussed and seething about Jenricks comment. Terrible presenter of QT. He’s not even on!

  @StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer Fs there are two small housing estates near me that are built for people with disabilities so what would be the problem if the majority of cars were mobility in some streets

  @EnglandRugby @BBCiPlayer I think barring 1 or 2, this is the worst squad and management I've seen for many a year

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Hmmmmmm, not sure how this will work. He is so full of himself and full of being "Welsh" (I have nothing against Welsh people in general). Shame as I always enjoyed this show

  @EnarialP @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer They do need to work on their algorithms though - if I’m about to watch a film about Emily Brontë, do I really want to see a trailer for FA Cup coverage?

  @StephenNolan @nipsa @BBCiPlayer P/2 👉 people getting into debt because of errors, cases of people having to pay back housing benefit because mysteriously the HB money disappeared during the migration, so SOMEONE or some landlord/gvrmt body has got extra money by forcing the Tennant to pay instead of

  Hey @BBCiPlayer . Still no joy with @SamsungUK ? It's over 48 hours now, and still no progress. I have discovered how useless the help functions on the TV are, but that doesn't shift the dial. Don't you have an AI support function yet to get this moving to resolution?
