Hi, if you are #blind and live in the UK, I'd appreciate any feedback about www.viptrains.org.uk I built it. I've only been registered as SSI very recently and am still learning screen readers. The site will be optimised for screen reader usage as I learn and on any feedback received. Thanks

Hi @paullewismoney.bsky.social & @felicityhannah.bsky.social, hope all is well with you. On Saturday my podcast app received Moneybox. It carried an important warning about scam texts re Winter Fuel Allowance. Is it in your power to end the 4 week delay? It would help listeners. Thx #moneyboxeffect

If you want to avoid paying care home costs you can put your home in a #trust and then let your neighbours' council tax pay. Shame on you if you did this and it's hilarious local authorities now call this deliberate divestment of assets & ignore the trust. BBC report: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Hi, if you've tried to listen to an #audiobook but find you can't stay focused on it, try: - Set a short duration timer to like 10 minutes. - While listening, don't try to multitask or you'll miss key details. Reading through listening is a skill, it takes practice. Keep going and good luck.

Is #Signal secure? No. The communication protocol is, but when messages are decrypted, so you can read them, it's game over. Decrypted messages pass through many layers of software and hardware on your device to enable you to see them on the screen. Also, when tapping messages in to Signal.

ULEZ works. It’s that simple. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.

A graphic with a blue sky background and white clouds. The text reads: "Harmful NO2 levels are estimated to be lower in 2024 compared to a scenario without ULEZ". The reductions are listed as follows: Central London – 54% lower, Inner London – 29% lower, Outer London – 24% lower. A source link at the bottom reads: london.gov.uk/ulez.
