@VodafoneUK your customer service and dysfunctional relationship to @BT Openreach is disgraceful. Farmed out to chatbots and offshore call centres. No continuity. No accountability.

@KLM disappointed KL1199 was cancelled. These things happen but no replacement plane? At Schiphol??! Diverted to Helsinki with excellent @Finnair but missed a days skiing 😢

@goldstone_tony are you aware of the backlog processing pensions? Current average time is 50(!) days from retirement date and that figure seems to be rising fast

@pipin_singh Hi Pip can you DM me? Keen to catch up and discuss OP transformation in D&E.

Fabulous performance of The Comedy of Errors by @HandleBards at Felton Park this evening. Pure anarchic joy. Thank you 🙏

@ILFORDPhoto is there any chance of you producing FP4+ in 46mm for 127 in the ULF release?And backing paper? Would definitely get some interest

@OVOEnergy not impressed with your “complete” boiler maintenance package. My 80 year old mother-in-law with Alzheimer’s has now been 24 hours without heat. No sign of an engineer. No ETA. But you billed her for the call-out fee as soon as the call went in. Not great, is it?

Privileged to meet the great Roger Neighbour this week. One of my fav quotes of his: “whatever other virtues they may have as academic touchstones, curriculum and assessment are also the twin gonads of conservatism”

Sad to say goodbye to this. I’m all out of superlatives for South Africa. Thanks @mahlatini for best holiday ever

@British_Airways it’s very disappointing that ‘premium’ economy doesn’t allow me to sit with my wife on an 11.5 hour flight. Checked in the second you opened and all seats gone 🙁

@zoe_robertson1 @SASByChoiceUK @MADEinHEENE Has there ever been a more interesting time to think about SAS? A whole world of opportunity opening up. Really looking fwd to giving this talk!
