@DPJHodges Let’s hope they don’t

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@HM_Passport I just got another call back. The person didn’t know why they were calling, wasted 5 minutes getting all the details then just hung up. I tried to call back but the number used is an outsourcing company.

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@HM_Passport Any chance my daughter’s documents can move from your postal room to actually be processed? You have had it for 7 weeks (we have evidence you signed for it)

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@Rebecka50296056 @HM_Passport They offered a call back service. This morning I was called and immediately put on hold. Still waiting after 30 minutes.

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@Rebecka50296056 @HM_Passport Yes, Bootle

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@ParentPay Please provide a number I can call to discuss meal bookings

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@ukhomeoffice The longer waiting times have nothing to do with additional checks, everything to do with lack of staff. Sort it out

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@wallsandfloors Why do you charge for named day delivery and never actually deliver on the day requested?

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@docshoaib47 @crocusCoUk I am still waiting for an email response

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@wallsandfloors still no sign of the tiles we paid an extra delivery fee to arrive this morning.

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@DHLParcelUK What I can gather from your DM is that the gist of your answer is “We don’t know where it is, and it is up to you to find out”. Helpful

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@DHLParcelUK any chance of anybody in customer service actually getting back to me? Should I send a carrier pigeon? It would be faster than your deliveries

[Gary Townsend @gwtownsend]

@IKEAUK How can you possibly charge £40 delivery for something that costs £100?

[Andrew Cotter @MrAndrewCotter]

Using this time to get a few things done at home.

[Christopher Meyer @SirSocks]

Sheer, bloody common sense. I've read the 55 pages and they are as clear as our knowledge of this disease allows the government to be.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"Be sensible... What do you want? A full handbook to tell you what to do?"

Plumber Ryan Price says the government guidance on returning to work is clear enough for the public.

[Christian May @ChristianJMay]

I suspect this is how many people feel. Some may prefer to wait for a building-by-building rulebook from government but most are clearly capable of understanding the need to be sensible and exercise judgement. Shouts of "chaos!" seem pretty wide of the mark to me.
