Hi, @BBCMaryam. Just want to reassure you life goes on as normal after ten years with PV for my 88-yr-old mother. 💛

Having wasted an hour attempting and failing to reset Argos password with Nectar account, I need a human’s help, @nectar.
Requesting a reset password number fails and fails and fails and fails.
I have tried and failed many times in the past.
Many people have the same problem.

Good afternoon from the UK, @googlehealth.

Neither the healthcare professionals nor I removed my Fitbit during my MRI.

Obviously, both the MRI and wrist hardware were ruined.

Immediately bought a new one.

My iPhone will not recognise it.

Please advise.

@FitbitSupport All my stats have changed – and not in a good way! Something weird is happening with the software update. UK user.

@WomackPhilip I attended a bog-standard comprehensive 1976–81, where I studied Latin.

@BangGoesSparks @BBCLondonNews Me too. 😓

Struggling to access website or app to buy tickets, @LNER.
Please advise.

Can no longer access my email account, @virginmedia. It’s been a mess for years now. For a telecoms company, your ineptitude is stunning.

[Foolproof (Sylvia Suddes) @bossproofreader]

@martmaddden I haven’t, but I’ve seen it recently in piles in bookshops.💛

[Foolproof (Sylvia Suddes) @bossproofreader]

@ryusufedit Can’t get the money back, but I wanted to spread the word about those thieving bastards.
Imagine how much I could’ve helped others with that money?🤬🤬🤬

[Foolproof (Sylvia Suddes) @bossproofreader]

Furious I’ve been scammed AGAIN.

After emailing the offending company, here’s what it wants from me.🙄

Companies that have stolen £150 from me over the past month: TASKCANYON and SMARTBIZZHUB.

@BurgessPk Injured swan.

[Foolproof (Sylvia Suddes) @bossproofreader]

@lb_southwark Injured swan needs attention, Burgess Park.

@LNER I’ve been asking the LNER staff which city this represents. We are all flummoxed. Send help!

[Foolproof (Sylvia Suddes) @bossproofreader]

@Savernake19631 Much love and strong northern hugs to you all. ❤️‍🩹

[Foolproof (Sylvia Suddes) @bossproofreader]

@Savernake19631 I am truly sad to learn this awful news.
I hope Karen died peacefully.
If someone managed to sow her seeds, remember her when they bloom.
Much love to all of you.

Is this allowed, @eBay_UK?

I bought the item in good faith.
I paid for it.
I want it.

[Foolproof (Sylvia Suddes) @bossproofreader]

@bernardtjoy That doesn’t look at all demonic to me.

[Foolproof (Sylvia Suddes) @bossproofreader]

Oh, I LOVE this!
I’m always trying to deconstruct words to understand their origins (latest was wondering if Sunderland was related to asunder: it is!).
