@ZenInternetHelp Got my hopes up for a moment there. Openreach service checker says no!

@TheLastLeg crashed the everybodymoves website!

@Laura__Farris
@LeeRJdillon Aside fake handwritten letters (which I can’t read - blind people do exist), neither of your teams have shown the slightest interest in getting my vote. Any takers?

This could have been my iPhone screen, thanks @SpigenWorld!

Let’s do astronomy! @VisitNewbury @newburyastro

@BritAthletics @WightmanGeoff gets dark at 9pm? Isn’t that what the arena lights are for?! #UKChampsManchester

@virginmedia TiVo, remote and a bunch of cables. A couple of years old so still serviceable. Would hate for them to go to landfill. Thanks.

[Mark Gray @GrayMatter70]

@virginmedia Service ended 8 weeks ago but I haven’t heard anything about returning equipment. Can I dispose of it? Thanks.

[Mark Gray @GrayMatter70]

@MartinSLewis I expect it’ll kill off most meaningful polls. Twitter is in danger of becoming yet another ‘social’ echo chamber, if it isn’t already.

@kittencaboodle No. Unsatisfactory quality. Consumer Rights Act 2015 supersedes the warranty. An 18-month-old premium kettle breaking happens to be the exact example Which? uses! Coincidence?!

[Mark Gray @GrayMatter70]

JaJa are shuttering. Thanks, as ever, to @MoneySavingExp for pointing me towards an alternative fee free travel card. Few clicks and done - easy!

@RoyalMailHelp Hi, how do I initiate a complaint about KeepSafe. I’d like to request a refund for non-provision of service (mail was delivered when it should not have been).

[Mark Gray @GrayMatter70]

@ThreeUKSupport Turns out it was actually a refund. Whoops! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

[Mark Gray @GrayMatter70]

@ThreeUKSupport Money has been taken from my account 3 months after closure. Before I challenge the DD at bank, how do I check if this is genuine? Obviously I no longer have access to the account. I’ll cancel DD later.

[Mark Gray @GrayMatter70]

@ThreeUKSupport Number was transferred out using PAC. Thanks.

@johnlewishelp I don’t have contact details for JL Finance/NewDay but you need to ask them to fix their email systems pronto please. This is the sort of mistake scammers make!

@minaal XPS 17 9720. It’s a bit wide but the elastic just about reaches.

[Mark Gray @GrayMatter70]

I got a new 17in laptop but couldn’t find a bag that was big enough for it but small enough to meet airline rules. Then I remembered - @minaal Daily to the rescue! Fits perfectly on both counts (even though the Daily is only rated for 16in laptops).

Can someone please give @alexa99 a geography lesson! I’m reasonably confident #Coventry is not in #Yorkshire despite claims to the contrary!

@MillenniumEU Here’s how not to do hotel room light switches (London hotel). Flat and almost featureless - not helpful if you’re vision impaired! @RNIB
