@MEATERmade it would be nice if you had a sous vide option since that’s the main reason I bought the pro. Also, selecting lamb rump always faults to lamb shank fwiw

@BBCBreakfast I love the fact that we Brits take our politics so seriously that we can we have a joke candidate running for election in Clacton against count Binface

@AvivaUK I called the number given and spoke with a guy who couldn’t help at all. I then got a creepy silent call back.
No wonder genZ (who grew up with modern customer service expectations) don’t believe us when we tell them what bad legacy companies like this, call “customer service”

[Daniel J Sinclair @danieljsinclair]

@avivaplc @AvivaUK you really are the worst. Beaurocratic, incompetent, unhelpful form filling grifters. You screwed up my pension & since my father passed away a few years ago, you refuse to pay out a £3K insurance plan to my mother to cover his funeral costs.“Computer says no”

[Daniel J Sinclair @danieljsinclair]

@AvivaUK Well that was a waste another month. Thanks for nothing. In fact less than nothing. No assistance, no compassion, no understanding, just blame and outright rejection of the complaint. Typical. I’ll never do business with Aviva again nor will any of my family or anyone they tell

[Daniel J Sinclair @danieljsinclair]

@AvivaUK I reached out to the email account you provided yesterday and I still didn't get a response.

[Daniel J Sinclair @danieljsinclair]

@AvivaUK @AvivaUK : give us your personal info
me: tell me you don't understand security without telling me....
hackers: We are Avivia -give us your personal info [so we can steal your ID]
me: do you get it yet Aviva?
@AvivaUK : we're protecting your PID
me: No, you're encouraging loss of

[Daniel J Sinclair @danieljsinclair]

@AvivaUK But you're asking customers for exactly the kind Personally Identifiable Information that could be used to commit ID fraud, and on at least one unidentifiable account. This is what I mean by poor and obstructive process. A safer way is to lookup the record on your end and call me

[Daniel J Sinclair @danieljsinclair]

@AvivaUK Classic Avivia. I get an instant bot response from your DM. This is exactly the kind of arms-length service that caused me to move my pension, which they made very difficult seemingly just through ineptitude and opacity of process as well.

@OctopusEnergy So 9 months in & still not fully resolved. The memos still aren't getting through to the engineering team. I just called support to switch my tariff back to Intelligent Go from and was met with the one of the most impatient and *rudest* customer service reps. Bad job choice.

[Daniel J Sinclair @danieljsinclair]

😡4+ months wait 2 resolve failing SMETS2 electricity reading and the engineer finally came out 2 “turn it off & on again” only 2 apologise that he’s, “not trained on this type of meter”. Wtf is going on with @OctopusEnergy these days? @OctopusEnerg support gone from best 2 worst

@RestPoliticsUS With Canadas retaliatory tarriffs vs Trumps, is Trump looking for more leverage and security to double down by securing alternative sources in Venezuela of the particular heavy black oil that Canada exports that the us relies on. What could that mean for Canada?

Apart from all the unnecessary animation the controls no longer use the space around the edges, the clock looks like it came from a 1970s TeasMaid, and the glass effect is straight out of Windows Vista. It was pointless and awful then and it’s still awful now

Feels like Apple is embracing re-Forstallification since the departure of John Ive. The new iOS 26 seems like a backwards step towards Skuomorphism and clumsy frills

@OctopusEnergy I’d be more understanding if this was only the 1st time octopus got it wrong on this issue. Unf, I think we’re all learning the hard way how far octs’ once great support has fallen. Umpteenth time makes right eh? I’m just amazed to get a response. Now two in one year! So Thankyou

[Daniel J Sinclair @danieljsinclair]

@OctopusEnergy Well ofc it does. Don’t they all require a specialist engineer otherwise I’d have turned it off and on myself. I’d have thought you’d know that before scheduling the visit. Somebody in charge really broke support @ octopus, can you guys not see that from there? It’ll catch up 2 u
