my husband joined @O2 on 5 August and is still waiting for his existing number to be ported across. Hugely disappointed with every aspect of this and very frustrating 🤬. Surely it can’t be this difficult!

@sweatybetty trying to access Insiders ‘perk’ today but link won’t work. Been chatting with 2 staff & need to be an IT expert to rectify a known problem .. this is painful! 😡

@waitrose after years of customers bringing their own coffee mugs, you’ve taken a massive backward step and reintroduced single use coffee cups 🤦🏻‍♀️why?!?!?!?!? 😡

Bought 3rd party gift card in store while away from home. Didn’t realise it wasn’t activated at till so has zero balance @sainsburys say I have to go back to original store to sort it out but that would cost more than value of gift card. So I’ve lost money due to your mistake 🤬

@alfiemoore Did you bring Zeus?!?!? 🐶

@British_Airways want to reserve seats - phone line cuts me off as you’re too busy, online chat says seats are available but I need to phone to book & pay. Finally get thru & told those seats aren’t available for booking after all😡Paid £3.3K for flights so expect better service!

[Barbara Sparshott @bds237]

@AdmiralUK Been hanging on the phone for over an hour trying to talk to you about a new policy and been cut off twice… my call/business obviously isn’t that important to you ☹️

@RoyalMailHelp How can I get a parcel from your National Returns Centre? I have reference number on proof of posting. Recipient says they never received it and your website says it’s been sent to NRC. Thanks.

I feel the underlying question that needs to be put before ministers at this delicate time, is « How long does it take to investigate whether there was a fucking great party in your own house and who organised the fucking thing? You hardly need to be fucking Columbo, you twat. »

@DVLAgovuk What’s the best way to get a response from you? She’s tried phone, email, letter but no response to anything!

[Barbara Sparshott @bds237]

@DVLAgovuk Thanks but they check the driving record every day and try to contact you every day but either can’t get through it don’t get a response... and it’s been like this for nearly 6 months 😡

[Barbara Sparshott @bds237]

@MJGold @BBCSport So pleased you’re commentating for the BBC again. Love your informed and stylish commentary.

@GMB ‘A full and immediate refund’ for holidays that aren’t able to be delivered is rubbish, it took 6 months of hassle for us to get refunds last year. Why would people risk the money and hassle when the risk of cancellation is still so high.

[Barbara Sparshott @bds237]

@dominiquetaegon How unbelievably heartless, selfish & hypocritical you are.If you had a loved one who has needed to shield for the last year you might feel differently. Can’t believe lack of coherent argument you tried to make on @GMB.Vaccine passports are absolutely nothing to do with class.

@nectar But we’re married, living at the same address and with a linked account using the same surname and address. Whatever I buy my husband eats/drinks and vice versa. If the accounts are linked then so should the vouchers be. It’s ridiculous otherwise.

[Barbara Sparshott @bds237]

Despite husband & I having a linked @nectar account we can’t use vouchers issued @sainsburys on either card. Both live chat services say ‘tough, those are the rules’ with no discussion. Very disappointed in attitude of both... will be shopping elsewhere now. Thanks for nothing 😕

[Barbara Sparshott @bds237]

Made genuine mistake & didn’t realise had to link Nectar account to Sainsbury’s in order to earn points when shopping online despite having added Nectar card no. to my account. Spent <£1k shopping for vulnerable & shielding so disappointed @nectar won’t add them retrospectively
