@MKHospital It's bad enough being in hospital with this
weather but when you are in a ward with no opening windows, no ventilation, no air con it is very debilitating. Had to bring in my own fan

@TateLyleSugars Blimey, how long does it take for you to respond to customers' enquiries

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

@TateLyleSugars Why does my icing sugar taste of washing up liquid. It's definitely not from my kitchen but has a definite strange taste. could it have been contaminated at your end?

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

@3Allotment I've done this. Sowed 2 bean seeds with each sweetcorn. Only 1 has shown, so not very successful.

@bbctq
What is viburnum beetle. Heavy attacks can result in most of the foliage being severely damaged by late spring. Viburnum tinus can be severely affected and this species when damaged often produces an unpleasant odour particularly when the foliage is wet.

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

@BBCTQ There's an insect that lives on a specific bush which produces secretions which are offensively smelly in the rain. Can't remember what it is called.

@ghmuseum Do you hold army records for WW2 casualties (deaths). Would like copies of great uncles record who died on 18 June 1944 in France. If not, where can they be obtained from. thanks.

@lottyburns Anything on a boat/ship. I get seasick watching it on tele.

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

@jeffc8776 @FreeviewTV Know how you feel. Retuned and we still have no main channels. Luckily its the tele in the bedroom. Main tele (Sky) is ok.

@BBCWatchdog I was with Iresa and was transferred to Octopus. It was simple and my credit amount was transferred in a timely manner. I think I was one of the lucky ones.

@RobsAllotment @darrenlakin2 @Steph_Hafferty @vegoutwithadam @craigsallotment @theterrywalton @AgentsOfField @dustymears @GWmag @GYOmag Are you harvesting for the beans or the whole pod. Just picked one of mine and beans still quite small. how do I know when they are ready. (Autumn sown)

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

@bbcweather Your app is showing my area dry with sunny spells all day, it is raining now. So often your forecast is wrong.

Goodbye Mog! She was the wisest and best of cats. So many wonderful books from #JudithKerr and what a way with a pencil

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

@TheParksTrust Very upsetting to see so many dead/dying plants along the perimeter of Newlands Marina at the Campbell Wharf development. Been told you are involved, perhaps you could advise @CrestNicholson how to look after plants prior to planting, trees also needing watering.

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

Don't know if @CrestNicholson are responsible but saddened to see hundreds of plants either dead or dying at #CampbellWharf Milton Keynes. Why purchase so early if not ready to plant. On the other hand #NewlandsWharf is looking good.

@Tesco I think you must have been a one off. Well done. Shame you're not still working in that department. Maybe a general email to all managers about staff training would be good as it's not just in my local branch. Have a good evening

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

@Tesco I don't know where their hands have been or what they have been handling beforehand. Please make it a rule that no instore bakery produce is touched without appropriate hand covering. 2/2

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

@Tesco If only your bakers did that. I have had bread sliced by someone working in aisles and they have not washed their hands. Even managers. I was told they had to wear gloves and once, at Wolverton branch, a lovely assistant did just that.

[Lynn Houghton @LynnyH]

@Tesco After being told by yourselves that your bakers should wear gloves when touching and stacking store baked bakery produce, I was disappointed that a member of staff at @TE2898 wasn't wearing any while filling shelves today. They never do. 1/2
