@Qantas I’m not prepared to risk my children sitting apart from me next to strangers. I’ve tried calling Qantas customer service and been told that you can’t help me.

[Abster @Shell_11_]

@Qantas please tell me what I’m supposed to do if I am travelling alone with two young children with you and can’t pre book seats together (and only individual seats are available to book)? How can I avoid an issue at the airport at check in or on the plane? 1/2

@richardquest There’s always lots of ships waiting at Singapore so this sight isn’t new. Have you got the stats to back this up?

The master of social media. He could definitely teach the millennials and gen X, Y and Z a thing or two.

And for the less than originals out there, I doubt he will be legally able to register his name if he replaces the “bl” with a “C”.

@TPEassist standing on a packed train from #Meadowhall to #Manchester Train rep conducting #PassengerSurvey, but only asking those seated to complete the questionnaire. I’m sure they are very happy (unlike the majority of us without seats) 😂 #CustomerService #OnlyInBritain

Couldn’t have been more boring if they tried. I kept watching in the simple hope that it might get better. Instead it was flatter than a crepe, and totally lacking in any va-va-voom. Hope the games are more exciting!

@FedExHelp please can you connect me with a FedEx human in Singapore that can accept that a passport and a single A4 page in an envelope can't weigh 8kg? I've been massively overcharged and Customer Servicess won't see sense even with evidence. #exasperated

[Abster @Shell_11_]

@FedExHelp just wondering how a single passport can be less than 0.2kg leaving one country and change to 8kg on delivery? #overcharged #unbelievable

[Abster @Shell_11_]

@58Fly @British_Airways Exactly. Great service for the customer to be financially out of pocket through no fault of their own.

[Abster @Shell_11_]

@British_Airways what a mess for those on the delayed #BA12. Hubby's connecting flight to Manchester now gets in late so can't get a train to final destination at a reasonable time but no one at #BritishAirways will to confirm that the taxi fare will be paid by the airline 1/2

[Abster @Shell_11_]

@British_Airways sole purpose of getting that flight today was so he would be in the UK for his birthday on Saturday with his young family without being knackered. Thanks for that not being accommodating #birthdayruined 2/2

Just been to @Starbucks #Singapore who wanted to sell me a takeaway hot drink without a lid. I declined. #accidentwaitingtohappen

@UBS Perhaps this is this one of those jobs you get to determine the job spec for yourself? I guess the 16 applicants so far will get to find out!

@MyRepublicSG Internet outage for several hours. When will it be working again please?

[Abster @Shell_11_]

Checking the work canteen menu for lunch today. The "western cuisine" option is that well known dish of seafood mushroom soup. Think I'll be giving that one a miss. #food #LostInTranslation #SingaporeFood #SeafoodMushroomSoup

@Dyson I just bought a dyson slim fluffy extra vacuum cleaner, only to be told by dyson that it isn't suitable for use on carpet or rugs. It is such a basic need for a vacuum cleaner it didn't occur to me to check before buying. #designfail #uselesspurchase #wasteofmoney

[Abster @Shell_11_]

@trainwithadane @Starbucks @StarbucksIE @DublinAirport @Starbucks this is awful. Why should everyday #rascism be tolerated? Time to step up and tackle this head on #retrainingrequired

[Abster @Shell_11_]

@British_Airways what email address should be used for gold exec complaints? I'm not in the UK so phone/snail mail options not relevant. Thanks

[Abster @Shell_11_]

@British_Airways I'm a silver exec member travelling alone from Singapore with toddler and baby (6 months), can we all get lounge access please (I assume only the toddler counts as my guest)? Thanks

[Abster @Shell_11_]

@British_Airways any chance you can prompt your #BAExecutiveClub customer services colleagues to respond on a matter please? I've yet to have a response to emails of 13 or 23 September. #WallofSilence
