@ElliotKeck Seems like you’re selecting data for narrative purposes. Based on the data, you should also be calling out women, and all regions outside of London… especially devolved nations. Why have you not done this? Also clear the lack of comparative benchmarks… not seeing any balance…

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@TalkTalk Afraid not. I have an open compliant already filed, I’ve spoken to numerous advisors online, on phone, and on here. All talked a good game, but no effective resolution. Sadly, the damage has been done.

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@TalkTalk my internet has been down for nearly two weeks now. Customer service agents all talk (talk) and no action. I have to chase for updates, but never any successful outcomes. Now, you cant even process a contract renewal properly - chance to charge me for money? Terrible.

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@GoonerGimli @TalkTalk Today is my two week anniversary of no internet. I also renewed my contract but they have failed to process it… so I’m off to Sky, who are also 15% cheaper! Would not have looked had Talk Talk been more effective. Kudos to BT openreach, the only successful actor in this tale!

@TalkTalk_help__ For anyone reading this and wondering where this ended… I was eventually sent back to the same doom loop of chat /call lines. No resolution achieved. Just well-mannered but ultimately quite powerless helpers.

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@TalkTalk With the best will in the world, are you able to do anything different to your colleagues on chat/phone? I have had ‘personal assurances’ from at least three people… which considering the lack of resolution, feels a bit hollow at this point!

@MillsysMrs @Franz_SL Arrived on this chain sitting on a plane… on the tarmac in Stuttgart… definitely not Munich 🥺

@marcus_uk I am having trouble logging in online, I am getting an error page whenever I try… is this a me problem, or something more systemic?

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@Gatwick_Airport @mhemmaty @easyJet The icing on the cake… a member of staff at the scanners dealing with increasingly anxious people had the audacity to ask: ‘why didn’t you come earlier?’. @easyJet staff (really kind and understanding) actually congratulating people for making it to the plane!!

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@Gatwick_Airport @mhemmaty @easyJet Update - took me 1h20. Past the e-gates is a bit of a lottery. Some scanners end up with 4 queues going into it, some have 2. Left side seemed to flow quicker (I was the right side!). My flight was fully booked - currently only 50% full and due to take off in 15 mins…

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@SouthernRailUK Thanks Emily. Is this information displayed anywhere as I did not and cannot find any info to that effect - will be helpful to know for the future!

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@SouthernRailUK why are there no trains between Gatwick Airport? There is a complete absence of information as to why this regular train is not available?!

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@SouthernRailUK Sorry! Between Gatwick airport and London Bridge. It’s like the option never existed, although I took it a week ago 😅

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@TLRailUK hello, why are there no trains from Gatwick airport to London Bridge?

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

Several Tories claiming that Boris Johnson considering running in “national interest” when he’s been lounging in Caribbean sun despite Commons sitting is very telling.

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@DanKaszeta Let alone if you were to stop immigration, who would build this mythical increase in housing stock? Construction is one of those most acutely hit by labour shortages!

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@AddisonLeeCabs truly shocking service. Pre-book a taxi weeks in advance, only to be told that the taxi isn’t going to show up at the pre-booked time because you’ve sent all the cars to immediate bookings. You’ve left a group of women without a route home. Shameful service.

[Andrew Pearce @IAmAndyPearce]

@glenn7575 @rachaelvenables @LBC We are two blocks further round, possibly a reason why it’s not audible here 🤷🏻‍♂️
