@JuGe94 @contractorsPOV @FluentInFinance I was just about to say the same thing. 🍄‍🟫

@johnlewishelp The issue was that we took the TV home on Saturday as the old TV was dead. We couldn’t wait for delivery. That’s why we were taking it to the store.

@johnlewishelp
Why can’t I call and speak to someone in my local store? Have to call 0345 number, speak to someone in another country who doesn’t know where Milton Keynes is, doesn’t understand issue, can’t give me a number to contact store. Been hanging on 17 mins so far. Poor!

[Alison Johnston @alisonj17]

@johnlewishelp Not really! hung up after nearly 20 mins. All I wanted to know was where to take old TV for recycling. Something that could have been easily answered by local JL store. Managed to find it online. Customers need to be able to contact local stores. Expect better.

@sammy_rufared I just posted this photo because I was in Aberdeen (my hometown) a couple of weeks ago, and thought it was a good view. Eight hours later you couldn’t see a thing because the haar had rolled in.

@sammy_rufared @MrAndrewCotter @rupertbu These are the “windmills” off the coast of Aberdeen. Taken from the beach looking towards Balmedie where the golf course is. I like them!

@IsabelOakeshott You need to get the full story before spouting off. Suggestion is judges are given information on accused before trial. This includes women, people from troubled backgrounds, religious minorities etc.
There’s a whole list of people this would apply to.

[Alison Johnston @alisonj17]

@ITVRugby Would be nice if your principal commentator could remain impartial. Needs to take some lessons from @MrAndrewCotter

@SuellaBraverman You were Home Secretary for long enough - why didn’t you do something about it when you had the chance?

[Alison Johnston @alisonj17]

@LeeAndersonMP_ If only you knew how often the aging ambulances were in a garage being repaired.
Probably not a paint job - it’ll be a sticker (or wrap).
BTW - it’s “the state of this”

@Carol1952002 @SW6kicks @elonmusk There is a Ludgershall in Buckinghamshire.

[Alison Johnston @alisonj17]

@B_meeseek @elonmusk If that’s the case, why do so many American students come to British universities for undergrad and post-grad courses?

@daveatherton If they were allowed to work, & contribute to the economy, things might improve. They wander around the locality all day, because they have nothing to do. If they were allowed to work it might help them integrate. It would give them some purpose and help them learn the language

@MarySmitty1234 @mjfree There’s none so blind as those who cannot see!

@MthrJacquiT My sister and I are dreading clearing our mother’s house. As well as tea and coffee sets that our parents received as wedding presents, there’s a tea set belonging to our grandparents (married 1914) and one belonging to our great grandparents (married 1884).

@British_Airways Thanks, I was planning to do that anyway. It’s very inconvenient because there are only two BA check in desks at Aberdeen airport. There are always very long queues.
If you want to retain my customer, you need to do better!

[Alison Johnston @alisonj17]

@British_Airways I’m finding that I cannot check-in for my flight from ABZ to LHR tomorrow. Can you tell me why?

[Alison Johnston @alisonj17]

@British_Airways It is very inconvenient. I don’t have luggage to check in so why should I have to stand in a queue with people checking in bags. What are the chances that I will be able to check in online tomorrow?

[Alison Johnston @alisonj17]

@British_Airways This is the response I’m getting when I try to check-in. I’ve tried using the app and your website - same response on both.

[Alison Johnston @alisonj17]

@thevtalks He doesn’t like the windmills because you can see them from his golf course in Aberdeen!!
