@Morrisons apparently a driver didn't turn up yesterday, so afternoon delivery put back to evening, then 10.42-11.42pm! Still no delivery nor update. Is your WhatsApp AI? #aspiekids

[F Up Nights: Newcastle @funncle]

@TNLUK do you have app issues? Money out of bank account not deposited 24 hrs later, session timeout when just logged in. Tried logging in a couple of locations, and no response to email with screenshots.

Unfortunately incident blocking exit to
@Tesco

@McDonaldsUK
off John Reid Road
@ChronicleLive
Apparently have to stay in Tesco's car park until cleared - hours. Looks like an unlicensed bike #collision

@Travelzoo_UK when is a deal not a deal, when @BroadwayTravel cancel 6 months after booking - and still haven't confirmed alternative dates after 9 days #Jess, expect us to stand any price difference because they cannot afford to! @ABTAtravel @RadissonBlu #santorini

[F Up Nights: Newcastle @funncle]

@BroadwayTravel yes we have rang/emailed since 7th March to be told we cannot be put through to a manager, we have emailed alternative dates/flights after you cancelled/told us unable to travel on the dates we originally booked last September! Why should we pay extra @ABTAtravel

@Tripadvisor @googlemaps have you really stopped people leaving 5 Star 'reviews' on #russian locations/venues as it is being used for anti war comments? 5* “The food was great! Unfortunately, Putin spoiled our appetites by invading #Ukraine.

[F Up Nights: Newcastle @funncle]

@JamieHardesty For a region the NE is not cohesive, cliques, when VC and agencies won't support a new accelerator because they support an accelerator that is no longer in the city, that is a sad indictment. Especially when the 'new' accelerator would have fed into it - about sums things up.

[F Up Nights: Newcastle @funncle]

@JamieHardesty Personal experience as a tech start up and involvement in accelerators, is that some individuals have been great, agencies talk the talk and are living in the past.Too busy chasing paperwork rather than being pragmatic, offering generic support. Reality is different to theory!
