@BristolCouncil @BristolWaste @BristolCouncil @BristolWaste It’s happened again! You’ve now failed to collect our recycling 7 times in 9 weeks. Have I missed the memo where you told us you longer collect recycling? I must have also missed my Council Tax refund… #joke

[Chris Allen @TweetChrisAllen]

@BristolCouncil. @BristolWaste Another week. Another missing recycling collection - the 6th in 8 weeks. Why should I continue to pay Council Tax? It’s now beyond a joke.

[Chris Allen @TweetChrisAllen]

@BristolCouncil @BristolWaste You’d be quick enough to chase me for non-payment of council tax.

[Chris Allen @TweetChrisAllen]

@BristolWaste. still waiting for our recycling to be collected from Friday 1st March. 2nd missed collection in 3 weeks. Logged missed collections - no response. @BristolCouncil sent complaint. You’re aiming to respond by 22nd March - helpful. What’s happening?

@Paulwiltshire @BBCRadio4 But how big is Crete? Can’t say I know off the top of my head how big Wales is either! (I can picture it on a map, but haven’t got a clue how big it actually is!) Now, I do understand football pitches … and double decker buses

I expect many of you may have heard by now but I’m sorry to have to tell you that Mike passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon after a short illness. On top of all the other problems he has endured the past few years it was just too much for him.
The end of an era .

@cotswoldeditor1 So sorry to hear this. A great man. A brilliant editor - simply the best. So sad.

@OVOEnergy Charlie @OVOEnergy, I’ve DM’d you. Thanks for responding so quickly. Looking forward to your response.

[Chris Allen @TweetChrisAllen]

.@OVOEnergy you’re trying to put my monthly directly debit up by 75%. You’re not answering the phone, replying to emails or using webchat. Why not? Resorting to Twitter as a last resort.

@MoodyColin @porthjess Dogs killing sheep is sad times … but what we really need here is a conversation about use of the word ‘like’. It’s literally, like, killing me…

@TristanCorkPost @MrAlexWood @Rob_Murray92 @BronWeatherby @Reedyberg @BristolLive @jowsefsmith @Michael_Yong Why? is often the most important question. Although, in the case of TinderPoo the How? was also very relevant...
