@RoyalMailHelp hello, just a bit bemused as to why I’ve received this when a) my house isn’t inaccessible and b) you’ve already delivered one parcel to my house today? I’d rather a message saying “I’m sorry, we were too busy to deliver and will try again tomorrow”

[ben @benjpo]

@McDonaldsUK our food order arrived cold and inedible. It was sat waiting to be collected. According to uber, if the order is delivered in a “reasonable time”, even if it’s sat there for 20 minutes before being collected, that’s ok. That seems wrong.

@leeutting1985 I’m fighting against some bots. It’s basically impossible to get a ticket.

Some essential reading via @EdConwaySky on impact of interest rate rises, making point that the rate alone gives no sense of how affordable mortgages are. Piece it together and makes for quite alarming reading

[Simon Fleming 🛠 @OrthopodReg]

Well.

This seems perfectly fine.

Thank goodness this exam isn’t a super high stakes exam, normally requiring a year of revision and sacrifice, that decides people’s futures.

Oh. Wait.

@British_Airways I sent you a DM earlier today. How long do you normally take to come back. I tried to contact you about my flight, couldn’t get through on the phone and now the alternative is full… my options are dwindling

@EE you’ve got loads of bus shelter adverts around Oxford advertising full fibre broadband. As far as I’m aware, this isn’t available through EE here now and won’t be until 2025!

@Sifou @FullFact If you take two groups of people who are similar. If there are more severe cases in the unvaccinated group than the vaccinated one, then that means that there is evidence that the vaccines make the infection less severe

“Forgiveness is always there. But rules are rules.”… apart from during the #F1 finale, maybe?

@uk_domain_names Maybe that’s what they are hoping for!!!

[ben @benjpo]

@uk_domain_names End up with a higher total number of infections, rather.

[ben @benjpo]

@uk_domain_names I’m guessing it’s something really simple like they thought that if they included reinfections then you *could* end up with more infections than there are people in the country, so they decided not to include then

@matthius23 Good to hear! I’m still going to, just about 😆

[Cormac Moore @TheCormacMoore]

I recently went back to education and got a PhD in Virology from the University of Facebook.

Delighted to work with them and share my experiences.

I can't retweet them all, but please read the replies to this. A wave of loss and self-sacrifice. And all so Downing Street can laugh at people behind their back.

@sturdyAlex You can but it depends on what your desired outcome is…

[ben @benjpo]

@AskVirginMoney OK, as long as this is the case. One of the questions asked for my landline, I don’t have a landline so if they don’t call me, is there anything I can do?

[ben @benjpo]

@AskVirginMoney I’ve lost my credit card. As I don’t have the details, I failed security checks. This is fine. What I’m concerned with is that the team to follow that up will call me in 3-5 days. What happens during that time if it’s in someone else’s hands!? 🤷🏼‍♂️
