@Nigelrefowens Congratulations on a great international career and for your future endeavours. Are you available to bring your skills to sort out the Brexit negotiators? Proper binding and setting etc rather than the current nonsense.

@ConnorCricket many congrats from this pale stale male MCC member!

@Peston All the banks have been doing so far iis dusting down the old Small Firms Loan Guarantee Scheme from a decade back. It required 100%PGs but was misrepresented to borrowers who thought the state was the first port of call if it went wrong.

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@Sarimk All well thanks. Fairly fully occupied with projects in Kent Surrey and Hampshire which means visits to London quite rare. However will try to fix before too long

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@Sarimk morning Sarim. As you know, I am not a habitual tweeter. Can probably only manage 2 or 3 a month at my age. Many congrats to you and the team on the funding. 10 years or so on from SC mk1, it is an overnight success. Good show!

Any reason why Bruce Willis wasn't called on to sort out the Gatwick drone?

My trusty 2003 Merc E class diesel estate clocked up 250k miles last week, 210k of which are mine since 2006. Not sure which will be first to the breaker's yard, the car or its owner.

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

Greetings everyone. Anyone using a mileage and expenses tracking app that they'd recommend? Have a 150 user business that needs to streamline its processes.

How to treat your customers like merde by @sncf autotrain. We have been told on email that our booked journey from marseille to Paris on Saturday 29th will be delayed by 24 hours. No recognition of possible consequences for onward travel, eg Eurotunnel crossings. Merci beaucoup!

@fibreglassgirl @HMSSutherland @UKinJapan Of course. Let me know when you are available for selection. Could either do county or test.

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@fibreglassgirl @HMSSutherland @UKinJapan Yes, but did you get to watch any cricket there?

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@mrjamesashton James, sorry for delay in getting back on this but had a minor op last week and taking time to recover. Have done some research and if you can let me have an email address I can forward you some articles

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@mrjamesashton re article in Times this morning I believe there is also some evidence that companies which pay quicker are more profitable. Their suppliers are more supportive. So it makes good business sense

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@mrjamesashton I can't immediately quote specifics but recall reading something to that effect a few years back. Am out of circulation at present but will do some digging later in the week

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@Virgin_TrainsEC With respect that's not my problem.
All I want to know is that there is someone who will resolve this. Someone could phone me 07976 426547.

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@Virgin_TrainsEC Also please look at email box mdresponse@. I had a mail from a Mike Ross, the customer relationship manager (MD office) on 5 August

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@Virgin_TrainsEC I've had an auto response to the one sent this morning to customers@. That has a full thread in it.

[Desmond High @DesmondHigh]

@Virgin_TrainsEC Yes
