It’s #PalindromeDay 🎉

Had you noticed that 22/02/2022 reads the same when it's reversed 😮

A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backwards as forwards; like level, madam or today’s date! Last year some of our community members dug out quite a few like:

///kayak.racecar.kayak
///trade.pipe.dart
///never.ever.even

In the spirit of this rare occurrence, we’re challenging you to solve this puzzle and uncover the palindromic what3words address:

Clue - It lies in the #Outback 🇦🇺

Keen or eager [4]
Facts obtained from analysing numerical data [5]
Another word for prima donna [4]

One for those of you who love a good puzzle:

With more warnings of storms, snow, high winds and cold weather, they're encouraging people to download our app and provide a what3words address so they can #KnowExactlyWhere to send help 🚨

Share this video to remind your friends and family to download the app before hitting the roads this winter ❄️

Something particularly close to my heart: today marks the launch of the Tech Zero taskforce.

We join forces with some of the most exciting and innovative UK tech companies - including Bulb, Starling, Moneysupermarket, Babylon, etc. - to tackle the climate crisis.

We will work on accelerating progress to net zero by helping companies to set an ambitious climate action plan, establishing the UK as the number 1 destination for green investment, and helping consumers make eco-friendly choices.

Vodafone and Monzo also joined the taskforce today and we have a big ambition to sign up 1,000 new members by #COP26.
