@dnalerinrehtron No different to turning up with a child to see an adult/blue comedian. It’s made clear in all the publicity that under 18s will not be admitted or refunds given.

@Ryder56004614 Confiscating your property is just another way of saying they will steal it - that is to permanently deprive you of it. There’s a legal solution to that. And only courts can issue fines, so how do they think they can do this 🤣

@GreggsOfficial how do I add an egiftcard onto the Greggs app? It says online you can in the wallet but only gives me the option to top up (with cash)?

@politicshome @Qualcomm I would trade speed for coverage any day of the week. Rural areas (and not in the middle of the Highlands, just out of town northern England) have terrible coverage and many times my only connection is via satellite

@foruyummy I was taught this exact technique in the 70s when I was a Brownie!

[Secretshrimp @Secretshrimp]

@nicolec_o It didn’t used to be this way in England. I have researched my family history for several decades and with the newspaper archives now online it’s clear that this 3 week delay has come about over the last 25-30 years. In the 50s to the 70s death and cremation was 2-3 days apart

@RayASullivan @archer_rs And they can opt in to the Local Government Pension Scheme from tomorrow

@emmybooth It states it at the bottom - you’ve been using more water every day, so this increased direct debit is partially recovering the cost of this water. If you’re on a meter you don’t pay a fixed amount every year, it’s reassessed every year to account for usage.

[Secretshrimp @Secretshrimp]

@TNLUK I rang the helpline and they confirmed that currently no new direct debits can be set up by anyone for the next couple of weeks. They are supposed to be letting you know but if they don’t here you go

[Secretshrimp @Secretshrimp]

@TNLUK I wanted to set up a lottery purchase by direct debit but it says it’s not available currently. When will it be available?

[Secretshrimp @Secretshrimp]

@TNLUK Both options are a waste of time - chat is giving no useful information and the phone option is taking minutes giving more and more information yet no one is answering. It is showing the “dd is unavailable” message even when I’m logged out

[Secretshrimp @Secretshrimp]

@TNLUK This was on the website

[Secretshrimp @Secretshrimp]

@TNLUK Still not available on 4g. I logged out and in again after switching WiFi off

@ColeFusionHQ A pair of crutches which has proved very useful as my hyper mobile son injured his ankle again, literally could not put weight on it for several days and A&E said he couldn’t have crutches. He would have to hop around 🤯

@therealstephen6 @Elizabe13014545 Anyone opted out of SERPS pre 2016 who continued to work and pay NI after 2016 will by now have “caught up” and they will now receive the maximum of £241 per week (assuming overall they have enough NI years)

@irenep671 My husband is still waiting since mid Jan for results of a cardiac MRI. They said 4-6 weeks. Can’t book a holiday and get any insurance as he’s awaiting test results.

[Secretshrimp @Secretshrimp]

@MaxTesto3763841 @PaulKetchley @ladyC1900 Ask her how much her pension pot is worth then! She hasn’t got one as it’s a defined benefit scheme not a defined contrib scheme. Her contributions and some of the contribs her employer makes buy future pension at a fixed rate, and rest pays pensions in payment for past staff.

#crufts2026 the climber spaniel owner, wth! Speaking to Claudia Winkleman like that and calling her sweetheart, urgh and in #InternationalWomensDay

[Secretshrimp @Secretshrimp]

@LeeHurstComic It’s on prescription where you are unable to buy sufficient over the counter. No one gets a pack or two on prescription. It’s for folk taking 8 a day all month.

@originalshads She does not fit here at all
