@LoveWilko Where is my order?!?!?!

No response from Wilko when I enquire where my order is (gazebo) for a family celebration this weekend.

I took the day off work to wait in for delivery (09:00-18:00).

Disappointed and P'd off!!!!

Any chance of a response @LoveWilko 😡

A good morning talking skills development for the manufacturing sector with @JamesBSHU from @sheffhallamuni and updating on the Sheffield office of @AFRCStrathclyde.

Key discussion points around recognising industry specialism and a need for relevant training.
