@bbctms his aspirations of ensuring that the pitch was still delivering a fair contest between bat and ball on days 3 and 4 (thus making days 1 and 2 an unfair contest ) is contrary to how test match pitches have always been prepared and delusional. Got to go

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@tmsproducer @MCG And yes, I had day 3 tickets and travelled over to watch. Very pissed off, as are thousands of visitors from the UK.

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@tmsproducer @MCG Adam, why aren’t you looking into why this happened? Who was involved with the decision on the pitch? Is it 100% down to the groundsman or is Captain Smith involved/Cricket Australia
or he is being hung out to dry by them? Either way he should be fired. Cost his employer millions

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@bbctms He should resign. He knew exactly what he was doing (if he didn’t why is he employed?) and cost his employer $10m in losses. Not to mention all the travelling fans. Probably cost more than $50m to the economy. Or was working on orders from above and being hung out to dry?

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@Ticketek_AU Joke of a site. Waited 40 mins to get in. See tickets, can’t buy anything. Waste of time. Bumped out after 10 mins to back of the q. Now 180k in front of me

@coldwarsteve Absolutely brilliant. This is your best one.

@chilternrailway So were there two carriages faulty or not?

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@chilternrailway 10.06pm from Marylebone. First 3 carriages were packed in like sardines. Standing room only. Yet two carriages locked and empty at the back. Why? Saving money ahead of serving your customers?

Hi @DanielLambert29 Have you seen the latest update by HMRC for CDS this weekend? Currently UK ports can’t move stock into the UK as the system has crashed again as the update needs fixing. Should be a fun Monday!

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@DanielLambert29 Yup! will be at a few…

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@DanielLambert29 They have utter contempt for the public. They think we are all stupid. Sadly many gullible people believe the bullshit. Sunak on tv this morning spewing shite, lies, misdirection and utter bullshit. Depressing.

@GusMcLeanWine But pallet shipping is technically cheaper than courier, but more paperwork. Best to ship as many as you can.

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@GusMcLeanWine It can be done. The recipient in the EU needs an EORI and ideally a VAT number. You can’t send without it.
Given that, if you use DHL etc. Duty and VAT needs to be paid into the EU so you get nailed by ‘extra charges’ like covid, fuel, domestic property fee etc. It ain’t cheap!

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@kevinhollinrake And you are the Business Minister? Have you ever been in business or managed a company? You have no idea what you are doing , you utter moron. What a complete waste of time to make a Brexit point. How much has this cost the taxpayer?

[Chris Ashton @CAWineLogistics]

@richardsiddle @Ibwsslondon When containers cost over $15k during covid and beyond from Asia to Europe, 2 pallets from Argentina cost $5k, they were happy to cash in then!
