@virginmedia On what number? There is not one advertised anywhere and I’ve been round the houses for three days trying to find one

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@virginmedia genuine question - is there any method I can communicate with you about getting the money you owe me having closed my account? No chat function, no email and no phone access…does this mean I just need to ‘write that money off’?

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@virginmedia I’ve closed my account, am owed money, and you keep taking money out. I just need a number…are you honestly telling me that virgin media do not have any method of speaking to a person?

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@virginmedia I did that today and 117 minutes into the ‘chat’ I am no further forward. Can you PLEASE just tell me how I can speak to someone - or simply confirm that it is impossible to speak or email anyone at your company

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@virginmedia No, and the reason for contacting them is they’ve taken money again for some reason. I just need a method to speak to someone in customer services….it’s surely not impossible? 🤷‍♂️

#Bitcoin TikTok https://t.co/q5igoZfd2B @MartinSLewis is WRONG!! A “graduate tax” would be a different tax code for ALL who graduate - what’s happening is a “non-wealthy graduates’ tax” as it only applies to those who NEED to take out the loans. Please correct the record on this

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@MartinSLewis thanks for your work on student finances - great stuff. But to call repayments ‘in effect a graduate tax’ is misleading - it’s only a a graduate tax for those who need to take the loans…so it’s only a tax on non-wealthy graduates

Tory HQ: “hey guys, we’ve got elections coming up, whatever you do don’t draw attention to the state of the roads”

@Stagecoach_West hey SW - why have the 97, 98 and 94 been removed from your live maps? People in Churchdown quite confused 🧐 TIA

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@EnvAgency why have certain GL3 post codes been removed from your alerts? They used to be on here but now are ‘not available’….? TIA

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@stwater there is raw sewerage all over my garden and you’re time scale to respond is ‘before 10 on Thursday’. That’s not safe. Can you clarify your position on this?

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@MarkDHawthorne I am really sorry to hear this Mark. He was a brilliant Councillor and above all an absolute gent. Very sad news

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

Grown up, strong and stable government

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

Looking forward to getting in and seeing who's running the country! 😂

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

I wouldn't say this is going terribly well... https://t.co/zkEE6kJbgU

@CTFCofficial hi - we have standing tickets for tonight but my son broke his foot playing football (in the CYFL) on Sunday. He's not really up to it. Is there any way we can transfer the tickets to the next home game?

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@BBCGlos I heard myself quoted on the news this morning. Happy to speak live, in person, and/or answer questions.

I'm happy to walk the talk. 🙄

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

It's noticeable that the whole of the Tory party has disappeared. They've hung Truss and Kwarteng out to dry. I don't feel sorry for them exactly, but it's not nice to see careers implode so quickly. Be careful what you wish for! https://t.co/qvlyfo56QR

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@Stagecoach_West I think 'happy to assist' is stretching things a bit...I rang them this morning and will await them getting back to me with bated breath 😬

[Ben Evans @BenEvansLD]

@mattwrailbus @Stagecoach_West Ah but they respond to tweets during certain hours...so I am expecting a more personal reply. A name, a number, or even them taking my number to ring me
