@Jevs61 @rugbyworldcup ‘He said’ isn’t evidence. And face it, that’s all there is.

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@CathyMarston Wrong, on so many levels.

@HarryMbike @terrychristian @WilliamNB Have you tried searching for this mythical exploded transformer? Surely something of such note would reveal itself by googling 'UK transformer explosion'? Strangely it reveals nothing of such a thing. Maybe wool is being pulled over eyes?

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@trlawlor @terrychristian No they haven't.

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@spamfiend1970 @terrychristian Nope. It's because the UK is no longer part of the internal energy market that protects EU nations from price and supply shocks. It isn't happening in the EU to anywhere near the same degree. That's kind of the original point being made.

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@SeanReay1 @Ellsbee @terrychristian I rather enjoy reminding every leave voter of the consequences of their choice with every new opportunity that arises. Yes, it's done but saying "I told you" is kind of fun. It's time for the quitters to suck it up and stop being snowflakes.

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@damian_connolly @terrychristian Which is exactly what the UK was protected from by being in the EU. Which is the point being made.

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@ZAVineHugger I wouldn't pay it, it's not a valid reason or fault. It will open the floodgates for more. Whoever accepted the return is responsible for the refund.

@HMRCcustomers 2018/19 for non filing of self assessment even though not living in the country and not registered for it. Just want an email address for HMRC

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@HMRCcustomers how can my wife get in touch with you from abroad to sort out the continued penalties she shouldn't be getting as she's not a UK taxpayer. The website is impossible and calling isn't an option. What can we do it's so frustrating.

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@Batonage @ChristianEedes Economies of scale, sure. But it must still be good enough to command such prices, otherwise it won't sell next time. Try applying that argument to some of the dross that is passed off as natural wine, which literally leave a bad taste in one's mouth, and it doesn't stack up.

Excellent! Can we go back to sustainable closures now and stop the screw cap landfill nonsense?

@The_Edgewines I don't think the 'It's summer' memo has been sent just yet...

@jamiegoode Are 'experts' sometimes too expert?

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@jamiegoode A great explanation but few in the wine trade understand chemistry at this level, hence why basic education focuses on H2S as the primary cause of reductive aromas. It is a the simplest explanation that sticks. Try telling consumers the reality and watch their eyes glaze over.

[Neil Tabraham @TabrahamNeil]

@plemess @GreatrixBrad @jamiegoode It was a bit of a rhetorical question, but a good answer all the same. There are degrees of perception though and depends on the wine...
