I can't fatham why https://t.co/iNB8KCzrQn aka https://t.co/zWFpXMlOCE ditched a really good loyalty programme for a 2% points system. The OneKey is a major step backwards...https://t.co/XRuwUQV5ww

I'd like to commend @LBC about awareness of breast cancer for a very emotive discussion today. Incredible courage and strength from the phone-in guests and excellent production values from the host of the show.

Just got back from Mexico. A massive shout-out to @TUIUK for a brilliant hol and visit to Chichén Itzá (it's absolutely stunning!) I upgraded to Premium seats - the service was amazing. Well done to all and thank you.

@TUIUK I can't get through to discuss email about your cancellation of holiday via 0800 107 1534 - keep getting timed out after 2hrs on hold... tried 3 times, that's 6 hours of waiting time so far! How on earth do I contact you?

The decison by @hotelsdotcomuk to remove the free parking filter is a very bad one! I don't need a tree house, spa or safari...just parking.

Just recieved a very well worded email from Mr Bolt (credit for an excellent email), CEO @UtilityPoint (gas & elec supplier) informing me that Utility Point will cease trading from today...I joined them yesterday. Anyone got a few candles to spare?

Just read a really good book about the history and origins of chocolate "Monty and the Jungle's Secret" by David Greenwood Haigh @dghchocolatier well worth a read! Great for KS2 teachers.

Hi again @Airbnb_uk 3rd host to cancel in 3 weeks after booking & paid for with a carefully planned itinerary. Can't be my feedback as a guest as exemplary - what's going on?

[Carl Turner @MinistryofChoc]

@AldiUK Just returned from one of your stores, a young couple weren't wearing a face mask, so asked why. Response "we don't need to wear one, we're all going to die at some point + other nonense". It's a legal requirement to wear a mask in supermarkets.

@Dell hello, I've a Dell system with monitors on Dell stand. The stand has a powerful spring to adjust the height of the monitor, but I cant work out how to lock it in place so the monitor is at the correct height. Is there a locking function that I've missed? Thank you.

@Screwfix why can I purchase an expensive mitre saw, which I've just done, but not a £4.99 can of foam gun cleaner? Both are essential items. Appreciate your efforts in keeping life as normal as possible. Invaluable.

[Carl Turner @MinistryofChoc]

@Screwfix please ignore my last DM, it was entirely my calc error.

[Carl Turner @MinistryofChoc]

@bostik please ignore my previous DM, my miscalculation and a shocking one too! My apols for troubling you. Great product btw, worked a treat. Next time I'll calculate the dimensions properly cm3 not cm2. Kicking myself.

[Carl Turner @MinistryofChoc]

@Screwfix just purchased and used a whole 5kg tub of Bostik General Purpose Morter to fill a 1000cm3 void. States on tub that 1 kg will fill 440cm3 void, it's only filled about half. It should have filled a 2200cm3 void using the whole tub surely? 5 x 440 = 2200.

[Carl Turner @MinistryofChoc]

@bostik just purchased and used whole tub of General Purpose Morter, 5KG tub. States that 1KG of mix will fill 440cm3 void, per kg, so 2200cm3 for whole tub. My void is 1000cm3 and it's only filled about half. Mix was 140ml per KG of dry material. Have I misinterpreted calcs?

@Lucecogroup Please could you let me know if your Luceco F-Eco 5W Cool White Dimmable LED Fire Rated Fixed Downlight are insulation coverable as standard. Thank you

[Carl Turner @MinistryofChoc]

@VodafoneUK Any chance of someone answering my live call? So far I've been on hold for 1 hour 28 mins...I'm getting sick of listening to "I'm sorry for the delay". Shocking as a business customer. I'm going to hold until someome answers and then post the time it takes...

[Carl Turner @MinistryofChoc]

@TedFerham @FerhamPrimary You're very welcome @TedFerham and thank you too, especially your Yr3, Yr4 children who were absolutely amazing! It's not every day I get to meet bear so I was chuffed! Keep the chant up #taptaptapdecoratethetop

[Carl Turner @MinistryofChoc]

Thank you @thelightleeds and @ProhibitionPR for letting me help in running your fabulous Easter Monday chocolate event! Really well organised, great set-up, great place, lovely atmosphere and lovely guests. I couldn't have asked for more...
