@SussexMSK I have been ringing for days now. The call is often dropped. Finally got through to speak to someone and the line dropped again. Why don't you have a queuing system? Please contact me urgently

@vueling if a passenger has #disability assistance booked how is he supposed to lift a cabin bag up to overhead locker ? Cabin crew refuse

@BillingMartin @EnglandFootball @FIFAWorldCup The nature of folk hasn't changed. It's just that folk have more avenues to express themselves and incite others

@JoStevensLabour @UKLabour @WelshLabour @CardiffEastLab But the customer doesn't pay the VAT- the business does. So who's going to force business to pass on the cut ? Surely business will offset this against the losses they are making already ?

@SouthernRailUK Most trains from 3 Bridges to Victoria were cancelled. It took an hour bus from Hassocks to 3 bridges - with driver not knowing way.NOT an option for #disabled as no toilets. stop closing car park at 3 Bridges - not necessary and totally unfair, and you PLAN this every holiday

[Bernadette J Johnson @beejjay]

@SouthernRailUK replacement buses btwn Brighton and 3 Bridges. - unacceptable for #disabled
Car park at 3 Bridges CLOSED so no option to drive and get victoria train from there. Every bank holiday you discriminate #disabled

[Network Rail @networkrail]

@beejjay Hi Bernadette, thanks for getting in touch. For replacement bus services, you would need to reach out to your Train Operator as they are the ones who manage the service. I hope this helps, Thanks ^Tami

@BillingMartin @AdamMeakins Especially now we have FCP - otherwise things get missed.

Grateful to Times columnist Giles Coren for putting to the sword a local council pipsqueak for trying to put out of business a restaurant in the middle of nowhere where owner Ruth Hanson does all the kitchen prep herself, the washing up, the bookings, the till, payroll and then cooks it.
The restaurant is called Hansom in Bedale, North Yorkshire. To give you an idea of its remoteness it’s 7 miles from Northallerton and 31 miles from York.
So, on occasions, her husband Mark, who had a job of his own, gives up his evenings to chauffeur some guests to and from their homes.
Coren points out when he reviewed the place last year ( he gave it a glowing recommendation) he had to hitchhike from Northallerton station.
No Bedale train, no metro, no Uber hanging around at the corner.
Enter Chris Doyle, licensing enforcement officer for N Yorkshire council, who has written to Ruth saying in his view Mark was operating a taxi service and that would require a raft of expensive and time consuming licences.
Ruth responded that Mark was her husband, he was unpaid and there was no separate charge for the journey.
Doyle said he didn’t care as there was deemed to be a commercial benefit and warned without a licence the council may take legal action.
Coren has a great last paragraph; “ Yeah, you sue her, you absolute local heroes.
“ You teach Ruth and Mark a lesson for being great at their jobs, for treasuring their customers, for trying to create a little joy and make ends meet in a collapsing world.”
PS Thought you’d like to see what a Ruth menus looks like. This is called the Sunday Sharing Feast.
Starters.
Smoked Leek and Pickled Croque
Monsieur
Whitby Crab Crumpet Pickled cucumber, Garden herbs.
Heritage beetroot, whipped goat’s Curd, Wild Garlic emulsion.
Main Course
Wensleydale chicken, Apricot and sage Wellington.
Honey and mustard mash, buttered spring , cider sauce.
Dessert
Yorkshire rhubarb and ginger trifle.
Cost; £55.
With publicity thanks to Coren’s column and this tweet I suspect the queue will be out the door and Mark can have his evenings off again.

@RebelHQ @MichelleDewbs Agree - the dumbness exemplified in the badly drafted laws that are comming out of the Commons. Badly educated people don't realise they are badly educated and then everyone suffers when they get into positions of power.

#greatbritishmenu why pick a listed building with so many cooking restrictions ? By the time chefs families and judges have taken places how many of the 80 are left ?

@SkySportsTennis could you ask the commentator on ladies Stuttgart final to pronounce Rybakina and Muchova names properly - indeed as they themselves have pronounced and also most competent commentators do. Why does this one see fit to mispronounce ?

#bbcbreakfast the traveller question needs to say ' could be travelling ' . It says 'is', which suggests a definitive answer when, in fact, there are many answers.

[Bernadette J Johnson @beejjay]

@RoyalMail I have been on the phone waiting for someone in customer services to answer for over 30 minutes!!!. The info on web is not relevant for my question. Please can someone answer the phone!!

@clc_505 We need to get rid of weekend mentality across society. 5 day a week working but include sat and sun in the 5 day rota. World is 24/7
