@marksandspencer I can do but as I have completely lost my voice it will be difficult to explain!

@marksandspencer Collected my order today and was surprised to receive 2 packages instead of the 1 I was expecting. Clearly for someone else - my name but not my order no. How do I return it? No paperwork included. Sadly it was not my daughter’s missing parcel from last week.

@cozPacker @CeliaRichards0n @nationaltrust As another lady of a certain age, I was bought some @LucyandYak dungarees and was worried about that very thing. Actually, they’re much quicker than fiddling around with buttons and zips. Now have about 6 pairs.

@the_cynical1 @IainDale @LanderChris2 Maybe she doesn’t like nutters shooting schoolchildren?

@IainDale @LNER All TOCs should offer through ticketing on any line. LNER app is the most intuitive in my experience.

[Carol Avern @caavern]

@IainDale @LNER You can book tickets for any UK trains on it.

@WimSoc @Merton_Council @TfL It’s also blocking the pavement but doesn’t give any indication whether that is also closed - very important for those of us who live on this area.

@biffopaul @BobFromAccounts @LouHaigh Odd. We are a family of five…

@MertonCouncil @CroydonTramlink despite these giant signs being on the pavement by Dundonald Road tram crossing, there is no indication whether or not the footpath will be closed on these dates. Please could you confirm if pedestrian access will be possible?

@AlisonMoyet Our cats did that. We got rid of the stair carpet and painted the stairs instead. It’s easier to see when it needs cleaning and slightly terrifying how much dust/cat hair collects on the stairs daily - what was in that grotty old stair carpet???

@AJ_Fairclough @limebike Several Lime/HF bikes could be parked in a single bay on the road rather than on the pavement. Also education-I saw some thoughtless teenagers deliberately blocking a pavement-asked them to park it considerately as there is a local blind man who uses that road and they obliged.

[Carol Avern @caavern]

@biffopaul @BobFromAccounts @LouHaigh You can.

[Carol Avern @caavern]

@MichaelRosenYes A Lavazza coffee machine (if we’re driving). Aeropress if on the train.

@FrDidymus @duolingo I’m on day 360 and currently learning how to say my hotel room is haunted… handy.

@StGeorgesTrust what is the best way to contact your ultrasound dept to rearrange an appt? Daughter has spent hours hanging on the phone trying as she has a new job starting on the day of her appt. Today got cut off after 2 hours. Gets to about 5th in queue then gets cut off.

@ClareWoodhead3 @JamesAlexBombs @YouGov @charliemansell Ah. That’s different. Clotted cream has a much thicker texture. As far as I know, it’s only made in Devon and Cornwall. Squirty cream from a can is revolting, so you haven’t missed much.

@susiesbookrevs Tip from my son-get some removal boxes and pack everything into those (and label them). Easy to fit into the car and can fold flat to store until needed. Also useful during the transition to next year as all the stuff can be stored in the boxes during the holidays.

@ClareWoodhead3 @YouGov @charliemansell CLotted cream first. Replaces the butter for the scone-dairy interface. Then the slippery jam (homemade strawberry is my preferred option). Must be proper clotted cream though, whipped cream is softer. And never squirty cream from a can- that’s an abomination. #clottedcreamfirst
