Hi, @PierreLevicky. Can you please explain why #Edinburgh #chezjules restaurant is the only restaurant I've encountered that #discriminates against me by denying my licenced & registered service dog entry?

@RoyalMailHelp I'm dying, these are the last Christmas presents I will ever send & you can't even tell me where my "Fully tracked" parcel is. Why are you letting people use a service YOU KNOW you can't deliver on? I'd have gone elsewhere if I'd known there was a chance you'd fail

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

@RoyalMailHelp I'm disabled but queued 30mins to make sure I got the right service. Paid for international tracking. 8 days & no movement so I call cust. service. "For some reason" no letters are being tracked
Why are you offering & CHARGING for services you know you don't offer?

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

@PelicanHealth Can the public buy supplies from you? With this postal strike, it's proving difficult to get my script filled. I'd love to be able to buy spares so that in the event this drags on, or happens again, I won't have to worry about running out?

They know I have an econ7 meter, they ask for 2 readings, but to get the overnight discount I have to ask to be put on economy7. Why? It's daylight robbery & even though I've asked, they still cannot give me a date from when I'll start being charged the correct rates for my meter

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

@BBCNews @BritishGas has been ripping me off for yrs. They know I have dementia, it caused issues with my #economy7 meter readings, but no one told me I was automatically put on a single, higher rate. I assumed if they asked for 2 meter readings, I was being charged 2 rates. Nope

@MrEricMartin. I ❤️ the Loki series & I have a dying wish. I'd like to be CGI'd into the background of a Loki TV series shot (see below). If you could pass my request onto the powers that be, I'd be eternally grateful. Which for me, is about year. I'll be very grateful for a year

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

Help a dying woman be CGI'd into the #Loki TV series, please sign the change petition, or share this tweet and help #MakeAWish come true. Thank you

Obviously I'm very happy to provide proof of diagnosis. If I stick to the averages & chemo, I have about a year left. I'm really hoping I get to see you in season 2 before then.
I have bad news for your co-star though, sadly he's been replaced as my celeb crush by Lala. Sorry.🤷‍♀️

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

Hi @sophiadimartino. 1st, congrats on the Emmy nods. 2nd, I've been told you're very good with fans and might be able to help me with an unusual request. I'd like to be CGI'd into the background of a Loki TV series shot (more details below). Any would be greatly appreciated. xxx

App deleted. DO. BETTER, @Airbnb! It ain't rocket science. SO fucking angry right now. How dare you allow your guests to treat a disabled lady like this! Fuck you and your bigoted guests! https://t.co/6iOExPDevZ

@TRADOC Best thing? His name is Brian. Oh no, sorry, that's Brain, his name is Brain. His nickname is Richard. Someone's certainly being a dick around here but I don't think it's the man in the pics!

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

@TRADOC I was just looking for him to tell him someone has stolen his pics to catfish people. They clearly don't refresh their stock very often! If you can get these taken down, one of the new profiles is here https://t.co/q3FRXk6SbN

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

Maybe one of them is immunocompromised, like me. I still wear a mask everywhere for that reason. Why aren't you defending my right to not be publicly mocked by TV presenters?
Or do you only believe in freedom when people behave how you want them to? #GBNews #Hypocrite

[Dan Wootton @danwootton]

Why?

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

Except when it comes to Josh sexually abusing his sisters and a family friend, then he should just be sent to a Christian horse ranch and have a fellow paedophile police officer "chat" to him, right?
You people make me sick.

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

@TRADOC @PaulFunk2 I can't find a way to contact this man and I'm hoping you can. I just thought he should know that his identity/pictures have been stolen and are being used to catfish people on facebook https://t.co/CGnxVSduCo

@supercubeuk My friends and I are booked to visit you in George Street tomorrow. I have a small, hypoallergenic service dog who is very well trained and wears a vest. Do you allow service dogs? I promise she won't try and sing along.

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

@marksandspencer Wow. I don't feel condescended to and ignored at all!!
You don't even give one sliver of a shit, and you're not even trying to hide that fact.
Best Wishes to you too, dearie. I'm sure even you can figure out what that's a euphemism for.

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

Dear @marksandspencer, After securing a disabled parking spot right by the entrance of your Gyle shop, I was very happy, until I realised why there were so many free disabled spots. They've already figured out what I was about to 1/4

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

Knowing I wouldn't have the energy to shop after that chairless wait, I left. Please just erect a sign saying "Disabled not welcome," I could have used the energy I expended just trying to shop with you today on something productive. 4/4

[Catherine Winchester @CatWAuthor]

...told I have to join a massive snaking queue, when the foodhall itself looked virtually empty (aside from staff milling aimlessly about).
