Since the US election it looks like Bluesky has been steadily built up quite a few followers. Anyone using it? https://t.co/Q2NXniQx6e

@principalitysta have ordered tickets through your site for tomorrow but I can’t see tickets in email confirmation or on your app. What can I do?

This clip is absolutely terrifying to me

What is it about the 20mph limit that people dislike so much?

At 30mph a child stands a 20% chance of being killed. At 20mph it is 2 - 3%.

It’s all about that “me society”.

@tortillauk with the prices that Tortilla Uk charge and the meagre (tiny, pathetic) portions they give you, their profit margins must be HUGE. Not a place to eat but probably to invest in 🤔

[Alun John @alunjohn]

@Gibbon1986 @Schafernaker @TorquilMacneil @DAaronovitch Of course. Part of me is astounded that people don’t check facts and the other part says they deliberately don’t want to check. 🤔

[Alun John @alunjohn]

@Schafernaker @TorquilMacneil @DAaronovitch Well said Tomasz. A big part of the problem here is people taking parts of a conversation and coming up with their own conclusions (or “populist” conclusions) without checking or questioning the facts.

@BBCNews I'm sure he still uses Ceylon, Peking and Rhodesia when talking about those cities/countries! 🤔 And let's not forget that it was called Bannau Brycheiniog many centuries ago.

Let’s get this straight - I’m looking for a flight for my son from Gatwick to Larnaca (one way) and @wizzair want to charge me £80 for a flight and £80 for the bags. They must be taking the Wizz!

[Alun John @alunjohn]

@wizzair Are these not replies?

[Alun John @alunjohn]

@wizzair That’s w he at i did and the bags came to pretty much the same price as the flight.

@AvivaUK I don’t hold out much hope as Aviva couldn’t do anything last year or this year and I’m the one who ends up hugely out of pocket for your company’s mistakes. I’ll DM you the details now.

[Alun John @alunjohn]

Absolutely frustrating trying to get Home Insurance with @AvivaUK. First, they want to charge me £100 more to renew the policy (yeah, don't they all!). Then, I find out the information they hold on my account (for a non-claim) was not changed last year. Let's talk non-claims 1/10

[Alun John @alunjohn]

What can I do? Get in touch with the @TheFCA or @MartinSLewis? Is the take-away from this that you never contact insurance companies unless you absolutely, totally, want to claim? Is this just an @AvivaUK issue? Thoughts? 10/10

[Alun John @alunjohn]

an email from @AvivaUK to say that I had not claimed. I called Aviva back to explain that because of their actions it looked like I had been blacklisted but they said, "we can't change the price". So, it looks like I am stuck with them for another year. 9/10
