Got to love companies like @Bannatyne threaten your dad with bailiffs, despite sending medical evidence to say it's unsafe for him to access the gym! @DuncanBannatyne is this how your organisation operates? #customerservice #disabilitydiscrimination #poorshow

Found out that @Deliveroo only offer a percentage of a refund for cold, borderline inedible food! @PizzaExpress was stone cold & rubbery. £24.35 of food, £2.28 refund, but when challenged they don't disclose the percentage, surely more than 9.36%? @foodgov #disappointed

Watched @frankievalli at the @RW__Arena tonight, incredible! Its only when you hear them back to back that you realise how many absolute tunes he has! I don’t think I’ve ever been to a wedding or party he’s not had a hand in! #Legend

@JustEatUK @McDonaldsUK how is it acceptable to check out an order from the restaurant at 14:05 and deliver it one mile away at 15:02 and it be freezing cold, and the driver just grins and says “sorry”. What’s going on?! #imnotlovingit

[Russell Smith @Russell_S_Smith]

So, 5 months in to 2022, totally forgot to share my tastes! @redjumpsuit sorry, you’re relegated to number 2, still love the tune though! 2021 was a hard year, top tunes reflect that @bandmileswe welcome to number 1 (even hijacked a mates wedding with you!) @Nomy_Official ❤️#3!

@BritishGasHelp Hi Mohammed, https://t.co/8RwknRAwkD - 54% rise in the cap. So my 65.77% hike means @BritishGas are running on an 11.77% profit/overhead? Your 'in line' would be a 54% rise surely? What % did BG add to the 54% 'because its going up anyway they'll not notice'...🧐 @MartinSLewis

[Russell Smith @Russell_S_Smith]

Real world @BritishGas increase email today, based on a two bedroom flat with brand new boiler. 65.77% increase in costs. People are going to feel this one! @MartinSLewis #gasprices

Big thanks to @Hermesparcels for the super useful photo of where they delivered my parcel while I was out. Neighbours to the rescue… #parcel #CustomerService @BouxAvenue should use @UPS_UK 😀

Quotes like this?!: "As a wheelchair-user, I would not be able to get into a rubber dinghy to be evacuated,". In an emergency, you may not be comfortable in a dingy but you’re safer! For the record when it hits the fan, manhandle me & chuck me wherever! #accessibility #compromise

@edfenergy @ofgem @BritishGas @comparethemkt @BulbUK @OctopusEnergy @ScottishPower @npower @eonenergyuk Cheers @edfenergy but you’re dearer than @BritishGas on the online quote, you’ve not won me over yet 💰☹️

[Russell Smith @Russell_S_Smith]

Electricity pence per unit up 78.53%… Thanks @ofgem @BritishGas are now quids in, sad to see PFP Energy go. @comparethemkt down for energy suppliers too… @BulbUK @OctopusEnergy @ScottishPower @edfenergy @Npower @eonenergyuk want to bid for my custom? #energy #GasCrisis

@adamhillscomedy Have always wondered if it should be a standard support team member in disability sports, prosthetist and mechanic along with the usuals…

[Russell Smith @Russell_S_Smith]

If you or any of your friends, family and colleagues are @NaidexShow pop over to stand L113. If you use a mobility aid, get measured up and be part of the team shaping a better world for disabled people. #PartM #MHCLG #Access #InclusiveDesign #BuildingRegulations #Accessibility

[Arup UK @ArupUK]

Excited to support @MytonHospices butterfly effect campaign through our community engagement programme, helping through digital design & lighting to create the projection mapping installation, in collaboration with @ClearsoundPro.

This is about as close to how it is as a disabled person, as I’ve ever seen: https://t.co/oAtJdszlV5 #weare15 #i’mnotsuperhuman #Paralympics #ikillhouseplants :D

[Russell Smith @Russell_S_Smith]

@GreaterTheBook Thanks so much for inviting us @GreaterTheBook very lovely evening and great to catch up with you. Hope to see you again in the future.

[Greater - Britain after the Storm @GreaterTheBook]

If anyone is interested in disabled leadership they must meet @Russell_S_Smith. Thanks for coming along this evening Russell. It was a privilege talking with you.

@JeremyClarkson @JeffBezos Only if you plough your fields with a cock… seems to be the in thing!

@citizen_housing Report a repair online, answer the questions, get told to call, make the call, listen to the voicemail “we are now closed”. Great comms there… @instituteofcs @SteveH_Citizen #fail #ukhousing #moneyfornothing
