@BillEsdaile @CharlieLongsdon @deedesy76 Happy birthday @BillEsdaile xx

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@AvantiWestCoast @JamesWilsonTra1 These replies crack me up, so sorry we ruined your plans, but you can get there a whole 1hr or two later so sorry not sorry. We dont care

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@DanNeidle @jamesowild @GNRailUK Virgin trains used to do this and allegedly so are Avanti, but I nearly always have to claim. I have occasionally been reimbursed automatically.

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@mickfitzg @houseofcavani @itvracing Oh goodness left. Just so classy

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@_LimeAID Thanks emailing

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@_LimeAID hi, it is such a long shot, but my son left a black lion trust bag in a bike this eve in Battersea park. It contained an 18th card, charger & a brand new jumper. I know there is about as much chance of finding it as me flying to the moon but it has ruined his birthday

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@mickfitzg @houseofcavani @CheltenhamRaces @itvracing Oh blue

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@echogibbo @AvantiWestCoast I think this is also really terrible service, as if you book an off peak ticket at a diff time, you can travel, on this train without a reservation. They didn’t tell you that though did they.

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@SimonCalder As ever @AvantiWestCoast is a joke. Forget the network rail element. They are constantly rubbish. I laughed when the guard told us all we would automatically get a refund a week ago. Nope that was virgin. I spend ages on delay repay…

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@DanNeidle Similar - a friend of my manages a team at a call centre. Monetary incentives were being given, but because of the 16hr limitation to still get benefits none of the team wanted to earn anymore as this wouldn’t be worth it for them

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@shinykatie I love him. And this

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

Hi @British_Airways any chance of you cancelling the payment you are holding against my account? 3.5k that I can’t spend with you or anyone else as it sits as a holding transaction. If there are any more rubbish excuses please do let me know. I think I have heard most of them

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@RevRichardColes I love Kettners and I love you two! Lovely

[Simbanrat @simbanrat]

Clearly going to have to spend the evening rewatching all of Tony Slattery's best bits now...

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@fesshole I am off to fill the mower!

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@shinykatie Still do! Sometimes that path is all you have the capability for in that moment

[Katie J Lee @shinykatie]

So many “Why didn’t she speak out sooner?” comments on here right now. It’s like these people have never been a part of society or group dynamic before. There isn’t a person among us who hasn’t ignored an arsehole at work

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

This makes me so angry. I’ve known Kev since I was 18, and I’ve never seen him like this. I don’t believe in hell, but these medics and carers were in it, and the bastards who made light of this plague, denied it, called it a flu, and made it worse for everyone, you deserve it.

Just caught my tomatoes trying to sneak out.

[Caroline Battersby @Battycalawine]

@Sarah_Kendall This and some of the replies are hilarious and brilliant and a perfect insight into my brain….
