@virginmedia Thank you. I look forward to doing so after the current period of 30 days (in which to issue a replacement cheque) has expired and when I will need to renew my attempts at scaling your high security battlements!

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@virginmedia if you fail to provide a promised refund and fail to deal with a complaint is there any hope that you might engage with me here?

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@virginmedia The last one of those came with a blank space where the memorable word should have been. Presumably because the account was no longer in use.

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.

@virginmedia Not sure the DM function is working. Nothing happens when I click on it...

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 - hello, Purcell was appointed to @wabbey and not to Westminster Cathedral.

@MPLaeroport Du vin blanc servi à température ambiante dans un gobelet en carton, et il n'y a pas de glaçons disponibles pour le rafraîchir. Urgghh! C'est toujours mon experience @MPLaeroport

@easyJet @TravDr my light-hearted observation about @easyJet tannoy announcements have resulted in some fake EasyJet accounts trying to get in touch with me to award me compensation! Clinking on their links would have been dangerous. Perhaps worth sharing in @thetimes?

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@easyJet overheard in overcrowded departure lounge 103 for this evening's delayed flight to Montpellier: (in French) excuse me, did you understand that announcement? No, and I'm English. Easyjet staff could usefully be trained to speak slowly and clearly, if only in English.

@ArchdeaconLuke Hideous. A blight.

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@MannGeorgia did you mean to call Mozart a cad earlier, or did you mean card? I thought it should have been the latter, particularly in the context of the Musical Joke. Obviously he was a colourful character (purple even) in his time, and perhaps even a cad!

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@soobruce @BBCr4today @BBCWorldatOne @BBCPM Agreed!

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@bbcpaddy @BBCRadio4 surely if that were Great Tom chiming 9am then you haven't just replaced Big Ben but have moved us to Oxford Time too?!

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@SqMileChurches Just in front of St Paul's, surely?!

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK am wondering whether the merger with @VodafoneUK is responsible for most of a day last week with no phone service and, today, virtually no mobile broadband service in the EC4Y area. The mobile broadband router is usually pretty good but not today!

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

Ooh! Just on again!

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@BBCRadio3 Anna Lapwood is marvellous but I sometimes think that @BBCRadio3 is slightly obsessed with her. She seems to be mentioned or played on a daily basis!

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@wabbey @christian_aid Now corrected. You're welcome!

[David Richards @DWRICHARDS]

@wabbey @christian_aid Hi, it's Sarah not Sara Mullally. Seems to be wrong at least twice so not just a typo. Order of service has it right.
