@virginmedia what an absolute s***show you run. Can't link my O2 account, spent an hour of my life I won't get back to "sort" it. Told to use a different email in 30 mins. Done that - still won't work. Operator said he'd ring me after 30 mins to check it had worked..and hasn't 😡
Don't ever forget your stuff when staying @premierinn. There seems to be no audit trail of stuff handed in/nobody can say what happens to unclaimed items or where stuff handed in ends up 🤔. Even sending my query further up the management chain illicits no response,shocking
Ok let’s talk about desensitisation…👀
I don’t know how many sudden deaths I’ve been to. I can’t tell you how many dead bodies I’ve seen.
That’s not a normal thing to say is it?
(⚠️ Health warning for the rest of this post. ⚠️)
But that’s my job.
As a Response Cop and now Sergeant, we deal with sudden deaths and murders, daily.
Why?
To ensure there’s no foul play and conduct an initial investigation incase there may have been.
Last year one of my good friends (a fellow Sergeant) and I went to a “One Under” on the Underground. I’ve been to quite a few, he hadn’t. Seeing a human body cut in two by a train isn’t something that leaves you quickly. My friend was rather shaken by it, understandably, we left to get some fresh air and talked about how bizarre our job is.
The next call we attended was a noise complaint in a well to-do part of town. Having to be calm and rational at the next call when you’ve see what you’ve seen isn’t easy. That revellers don’t know you’ve just seen something they can’t comprehend, but you have to enforce the law. Behave rationally. It’s truly not an easy thing to do.
Then, you finish your shift, go home, see your family and stare into the middle distance, trying be you.
I won’t describe what a human body looks like after it’s hit the ground having jumped from a tower block, because you really don’t want to know, but it's been imprinted on my brain at least a dozen times.
I’d argue we’re some of the most messed up people you’ll ever meet.
Yet we’re also expected to work #PublicOrder most weekends, be rational, calm and deal with the frustrations of society.
This job isn’t challenging, it’s pretty impossible.
So that’s why I back Cops, that’s why I stand up for them and say it like it is.

@British_Airways That hasn't actually replied to my concern has it @British_Airways ? Why can I no longer track the progress of my claim by using the chatbot?
@British_Airways have you stopped us being able to check the status of our claim via the chatbot system?I've just tried- it says it doesn't understand -I had been able to check up until yday. I intend contacting your CEO regarding poor service (though I expect he's well aware!)
@SimonCalder Do you know anything about the issues with trying to get compensation for cancelled flights from @British_Airways?Seems I might have to wait months for recompense incl the taxi fare from Gatwick to Heathrow as that was the only flight avail.Are all airlines the same?
@WestminsterWAG Hi Sarah - wondered if you'd heard anything from @British_Airways regarding your claim yet? I put one in not long after you and it's still "in the queue". Can see on the @British_Airways account that people have been waiting since at least June ☹️
@British_Airways@MGR1970 How long can I expect to wait to find out the result of my compensation claim made on 21st September please? Thank you (I have had to enquire like this to actually get a reply.....hopefully!) Please dont give me a general reply as thats just frustrating!
@British_Airways could you please tell me how long it is taking to process your compensation claims at the moment?I keep seeing that you are experiencing high volumes and have had the "thanks for being patient" email but a rough idea of how long I can expect to wait would be 👍
@British_Airways can anyone please tell me what is going on within British Airways? So many canc/delayed flights (incl our DAL to LHR on 16/9). Very little stock on board on rebooked flight- not even offered a hot drink on a 4hr flight! Very worrying - are BA on the way under?
@Primark has anyone else noticed how Primark items keep getting marked up by £1 at the till?Come on Primark - you must be making millions from these extra £1 that nobody notices!Annoyed with myself as I realised the twice before when it happened but forgot to pay attention yday😡
@shitscaredmum So sorry to hear this news. Laura fought long and hard which became heartbreaking for you to see but not as heartbreaking as having to write your post today I'm sure. Thoughts are with you and all of your family xx
@easyJet not impressed. Delayed flying out to Belfast and now delayed on return. Both delays longer than the actual flight! Thanks for taking hours of my life I'll never get back 😡
@Matt_Parkerr@MatthewCBurton We're due to go in a couple of weeks - got any recommendations for (non-fish) restaurants? I'm going to download the appy hour app, are there any other good "need to know" apps?
