@Mozzasoft @LloydsBank Sorry Steve, I and my family have been Lloyds customers for generations. They really couldn't care less. The inability to use a card abroad is apparently " not within their control".

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

Thank you @LloydsBank. A lifetime as a customer but you have "no control" over my card being rejected abroad for the 2nd year running and that it will continue to happen. What sort of service is that? Time to find a bank who will look after their customers at all times.

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@Mozzasoft @LloydsBank Thanks Steve but the settings are off, so it should work abroad but it doesn't. Caused problems for over a year and the bank can offer no solution nor do they appear to care.

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@LloydsBank Have been through your complaints team. A refund of the expenses and some money by way of apology does not rectify the problem. It has been confirmed that the problem will recur every time I go abroad and it is "beyond your control". That is not customer service.

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@antgib @SomersetCCC So what happened today @antgib?I could neither watch nor listen for a variety of reasons. Have only just seen the scorecard. Pitiful!

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@OctopusEnergy Fair play @OctopusEnergy once you were on it you had someone here within 2 hours. He was an absolute legend, replaced the meter, reset the boiler - hot water and heating restored. Maybe look at your process for notifying emergencies? Otherwise a good service.

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

Great work at Christmas @OctopusEnergy A house full of children, no gas supply and the only means of contact is by "emergency" email which produces no response. And a Happy New Year to you too....

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@OctopusEnergy Now in direct contact with you as a result of an Instagram post. Not impressed that we receive a swifter response to a social media post than to a report of an emergency.

@woods_graham Bloody lovely place, enjoy it!

@antgib @SomersetCCC @bbcbristolsport Let it slip after an excellent start this morning.

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

Glorious morning at Chester le Street. Can @DurhamCricket build a meaningful lead in good batting conditions? Can @SomersetCCC take 4 quick wickets to remain competitive in a low scoring match?

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@antgib @SomersetCCC A long way from home and not much decent cider on offer but a reasonable fightback by the end of the day. Green top and overcast gave Durham a huge advantage but we did not help ourselves at times.

Have I missed anything @somersetccc ?

✅CraigO on the mend and feeling good
✅Quality Overseas signed
✅Bash and Leachy in the Test Squad
✅Rewy and Kasey in the Lions Squad
✅Club Legend Jamie Cox is the new CEO

@talkSAINTS Entirely predictable when you appoint a manager with a history of mid table mediocrity and let many of your best players go.

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@SouthamptonPage The challenge won't be going back up, it will be staying up at this rate.

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@SaintRob__ I said Martin was a poor and surprising appointment at the time. Sadly nothing so far to prove me wrong.

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@SouthamptonPage A second rate manager selecting second rate players producing a 3rd rate performance.

[Chris Thorne @Chris50t]

@wsmruss @saints_analysis @Wyscout As the man says, goals scored or conceded is the only stat that matters. Not a great start in the first two games.....
