I just read this on Facebook:

Someone asked "Why do many British people not like Donald Trump?"

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

Dear @IKEAUK - mundane but please sort out the lack of trolleys in your Leeds store. If you’re not able to hoick around a yellow bag full of stuff it stops you being able to shop. None in the market hall, none in self-service. And yes, Ikea on a Sat night is how I roll…

@MarshSongs @JDVance1 @ABBA @BBCsarahsmith @awzurcher @RestIsPolitics @CrookedMedia @danpfeiffer @TVietor08 @jonfavs @jonlovett - thought you might appreciate a British take on the new VP pick for DJT…

Over the past 8 months in the #GazaStrip approximately 67% of water, sanitation facilities & infrastructure have been destroyed or damaged.

As infectious diseases continue to spread and temperature rises, lack of hygiene & dehydration threaten the health of people across #Gaza.

@Baddiel 1993 I think? My first comedy gig was seeing you both. Worryingly formative - please do another series! @mrrobnewman

Are you travelling by @SouthernRailUK this weekend? My friend Lucie desperately needs your help. She has spent nine months hand making this beautiful quilt out of disused kimono silk for her oldest friend's brand new baby:

I believe in the goodness of strangers. Let's #findthequilt. If you can't find the quilt, please reply to this thread to admire Lucie's incredible work and spread the word.

@Tesla many happy hours of motoring but this week a software update - without notice/consent - meant I couldn’t get in the car, let alone drive it. Missed appointment & lots of frustration. My car has one job… #motoringfail

I’ve let everyone know not to bother coming to ours on Monday…😘

@sainsburys In what world is Tetley Tea, the TV Times and syrup pudding adequate substitutions for @YorkshireTea, @RadioTimes and Christmas pudding? #christmasruined

@thomas_leech Thanks for sharing. Non-public school attending former head chorister of Birmingham Cathedral Girls Choir here. Never felt inaccessible, always welcoming and inclusive. Doesn’t reflect my experience (but I am knocking on a bit now…)

#ICYMI Dr Chloe Sutcliffe, Sustainability Post-doctoral Fellow at the RHS joined @Niki_Roach_ on the @PlanetP_ossible podcast to explore the benefits of using living vegetation in urban spaces & look at some non-grass alternatives to artificial turf

@MrJackLowe @KendalCalling Also - brilliant effort for going to attempt to help clear. @KeepBritainTidy - more we could do here to help?

[Niki @eye_hart]

@MrJackLowe @KendalCalling About Kendal specifically? Will go and hunt it out for a listen.

@O2 Hello! Been with O2 for years but looking to switch after a summer of really poor coverage whilst friends on vodaphone and EE make calls and use data. I wanted to check there was nothing that could be done? I would have messaged on the app - but it’s not loading! Thanks, Niki

@aebrunj Y una pregunta-que es la situación con agua en Montevideo en este momento? Yo he escuchado no hay agua suficiente para beber? (Yo trabajo con agua en el UK)

A follow up (as promised) as @tapairportugal today paid the compensation for cancelled flights in Aug 2022. It’s taken almost exactly a year (51 weeks), endless calls, a CEO letter & tweets, but we got there. All staff were lovely but not empowered to resolve. #CustomerService

[Niki @eye_hart]

@aebrunj @tapairportugal Don’t give up Alberto! Keep a record of everything, continue to call and email regularly. The team on twitter were also helpful I’m sure on raising the profile. I can’t believe it can take a year to pay what should be automatic compensation. Good luck 🤞
