@O2 UK are scamming thieves. Went in to store, bought the double data SIM which they activated. No double data. Contact customer services who said give us more money and I’m now £30 down with nothing to show for it. App is awful. Avoid at all costs. I have a very unhappy child

It’s not rain 😂 Happy Easter! 🐣#Easter2023 #nature

You can imagine what I did next. Let me know if you’re interested to see more 👍

Now #BingChat limits are raised to 10 we can start exploring in a little more depth. First, BingChat reveals it has #Advertising baked in. Perhaps not a great surprise! More of a surprise is the return of “feelings” 😁 #ChatGPT

Yet again our age restricted @AppleTV 4K TV app has autoplayed horrific “Caution” content to my children before I was able to stop it. When will @Apple listen and pull the tvOS 16.2 TV app for delivering harmful content to minors? Surely someone other than me is bothered by this?

[Matt Norris @MattNorris2015]

@BritishGas clearly doesn’t want to retain customers. I waited 10 mins and there was still no advisor. If the app worked it wouldn’t be quite so bad. @BritishGasHelp oxymoron perhaps?

@Argos_Online @ArgosHelpers Tom tries to save the day again, bonus points for trying, but the chatbot gets mad and takes over. Tom might be in trouble here 😱

[Matt Norris @MattNorris2015]

@ArgosHelpers = useless. Placed an order, immediate collection, as soon as paid the email confirmation said collect December despite it being in stock. Spent 20+ minutes on hold as you can’t cancel order online. Nobody answered on phone or live chat. Appalling @Argos_Online

[Matt Norris @MattNorris2015]

@Argos_Online @ArgosHelpers Tom did message asking for details, thanks Tom, but then dropped me straight back into the chat bot. -10 points there then Tom 😂

[Matt Norris @MattNorris2015]

@Argos_Online @ArgosHelpers And just for anyone else reading, the DM is a chatbot which won’t accept my order number so Tom lies also. Do not trust Argos!

[Matt Norris @MattNorris2015]

@Argos_Online @ArgosHelpers Thanks Tom I’m only concerned about refund now as I don’t trust Argos after this experience

@The_RHS Clearly don’t want new members. Saw a membership offer online and at RHS Rosemoor. Tried to sign up and it said call membership services. Call them and they’re not interested and can’t help unless you pay full price. Expected a better service. Avoid #scam

If ever there was a song that should return to the top of the charts, this is it. Stunning live performance that takes you straight back https://t.co/oUJFbWWQOV

I think for 2022 Wetherspoons should be renamed to what my five year old calls it: “Where the spoons are”. They do have a lot of spoons 😂 #HappyNewYear #WhereTheSpoonsAre @UKjdspoons

Thanks for the reply @BritishGasHelp but, as stated, clicking the link in the email or visiting via the app will not show the reward. The the one(s) advertised are not there. Instead there are plenty of options for me to pay more money to @BritishGas - hardly free rewards!

[Matt Norris @MattNorris2015]

I don’t usually like to name and shame but @BritishGas have sent me several “free rewards” communications in recent years which can never be claimed. They are not actually available. Today’s was for @joeandseph popcorn who are great, so shame on you #BGRewards

[Matt Norris @MattNorris2015]

The awesome team at @bakedincakes sent me these amazing cookie mixes today. They are HUGE! Can’t wait to get #baking Great presents. Happy Christmas guys! 🎄🎅🏼

Today’s doozie was autocorrecting “drizzle” to “dr Zelenograd”. Yep, that’s exactly what I meant to type #Apple isn’t it. (Yes, I’m being sarcastic, #iOS is soooooo stupid)

[Matt Norris @MattNorris2015]

Hey @Apple when are you going to fix autocorrect on my #Apple #iphone 🤷‍♂️ If I type “charged” I want that word, not “barged” which I’ve never ever typed. If I type “errored” I want it to say errored, not magically turn to “retired” a word or two later. #iOS15 needs to be better!
