@knowlesm Are your staff asking questions about you?

@OnDisasters @RAeSTimR Was this also filmed from a Canberra @RAF_Luton ?

Fox 10 reports, "NASA plane's landing gear fails at Ellington Field in Houston - The aircraft is a NASA WB-57, which is used to conduct high-altitude research". Updates when possible

@steve_ack @AboutEG It signals total incompetence - or complete disdain for customers.

Or both.

My @SouthernRailUK “adventure” is trying to get to London with a power supply taking out the trains from East Grinstead

@alfiemoore @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds Will there be more Zeus stories? If so I’m in. (Actually, in anyway, just love Zeus)

@MavisKernow @VINCIAirports Agree it’s a Faro problem. Which is why it’s so weird. Why make it an unpleasant experience for tourists when your local economy is so dependent on tourism! That’s what I can’t understand

[Alan Tovey @batsub1]

#Faro airport remains an absolute farce. Not a Brexit issue but the decision to have 3 out of 12 border gates open and electronic passport gates shut. It’s odd the Algarve is so dependent on tourism yet the airport authorities tries to choke it. @VINCIAirports any thoughts?

[Alan Tovey @batsub1]

@Anna_Soubry @VINCIAirports continues to provide a shocklingly bad experience. Amazing that @algarvetourism_ continues despite the airport’s attempts to choke tourism.

[Alan Tovey @batsub1]

This is the weirdest thing - normally airports want to extract as much money as possible from passengers but the policy means it’s sprint for gate, pray you don’t miss your flight and forget shopping or spending money in the airport. Not a sensible business model

[Chris @chrisweir761]

@batsub1 @VINCIAirports Completely agree. Flew from Faro this week. Hundreds of passengers waiting to depart, only three booths open! The arrivals hall was a disaster area. The airport don't seem to realise the damage being down to businesses as passengers run for their gates, having no time to shop!

[Alan Tovey @batsub1]

@rickeard @VINCIAirports Odd that @VINCIAirports has zero interest in explaining itself.

[Alan Tovey @batsub1]

Before everyone sends it to me, yes, I have seen it.

And it's great.

@JRRBatchelor @McCons @lamfrt No headshot in that picture - is there any evidence it isn't you @JRRBatchelor ?

Stunning insight into the disaffection of youth here from the Times: "I'm a Gen Z shoplifter. Here's why I do it" https://t.co/ckztizNypw

@SteveFowler @AutoExpress @CarbuyerUK @DrivingEVs You were always great company out on jobs with less specialised reporters and generous in sharing your insight with us so we didn't look too silly. Hope the new gig is as much fun.

@MKnowlesPR This is the best news I have had in weeks

[Szu Ping Chan @szupingc]

It’s a wrap from us at #Davos2024. Here’s the verdict from the global elite on Labour v the Tories from the slopes. TL;DR: Labour still needs to work on inspiring people, but it doesn’t look good for Downing St.

Dream team @mattotele homeward bound!

@Gatwick_Airport @icpav Could you possibly detail how the increased charge will “help reduce congestion… allow [LGW] to invest in sustainable transport”? And actually some defined plans, not grand ideas?

[Alan Tovey @batsub1]

@SmmcSue @Gatwick_Airport That’s nothing, my wife was clocked at 34 seconds for dropping me off!
