@shaunwkeaveny small claims court dreams. I used to go out regularly with Charles II, but in the end his wig and spaniels got too much.

@MartinSLewis British Airways customer service line (particularly useful when your flight is cancelled and you’re told to ring them!)

@BBCNews #bbcnews are you actually serious with the Reese Witherspoon eating snow piece? Are you that short of news/scaremongering tonight?

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Mine has x2 from £700 to £1400! I’m 52, no points on licence, 4 years no claims, car kept on private drive. It’s a 3 year old Range Rover evoque. Apparently it’s because Range Rover sports are being stolen @ 120/day in London. Except I live in Cheltenham + don’t have a RR sport

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@juneslater17 Agreed! Ok in new builds. Absolutely not viable in existing properties

@Neal_UK @Devilsknight101 @JasperC70129914 @MartinSLewis @OVOEnergy @ScottishPower @BritishGas Good info thank you. Locked in for a year now but will look at this next time around!

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@Neal_UK @Devilsknight101 @JasperC70129914 @MartinSLewis @OVOEnergy @ScottishPower @BritishGas Yes I do! They had one of the few fixed rates and it didn’t look bad for 12 months.

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@Neal_UK @Devilsknight101 @JasperC70129914 @MartinSLewis @OVOEnergy @ScottishPower I moved to @britishgas for that reason and have set one up. Wasn’t an option with @scottishpower

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@Devilsknight101 @JasperC70129914 @MartinSLewis @OVOEnergy When @scottishpower did this to me. I just stopped my direct debit and paid as I went! Not the cheapest rate, but at least they aren’t earning interest off my money that should be in my bank.

@Neal_UK @mic69449413 But people can only change a small proportion of their behaviours! A smart metre doesn’t really change anything for the consumer. We simply don’t have enough capacity in the U.K. to step away from imports currently.

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@MartinSLewis @scottishpower sent me a bill for £138 on Aug 7th which I paid in full on Aug 29th….they applied a £10 “late payment” fee!!! This is sharp practice and a disgrace when so many are struggling.

@SinnertonGeoff @terrychristian That was the same for all the other European countries who did away with their monarchy and seem to be doing fine. Most better than the U.K.!

@domjoly you do know you can get your #boulangerieartisan baguette at the post office in Charlton kings rather than #dunkertons

[Adam Kay @amateuradam]

One of the most upsetting things I’ve ever read. Those poor babies, those poor families. Unimaginable horror. Also thinking of those colleagues who spoke out and were ignored or, worse, chastised. Whistleblowing remains impossible in the NHS. Please god may lessons be learned.

@rudee47 @sharpyrachel If we received decent services from the taxes we paid, I wouldn’t mind! Where is this money going? Public transport?

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@Hairy_Lurcher @davidjthunder Does everyone turn to ash when it gets to pinky-white?

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@jadewelshy @davidjthunder Maybe less windy then?

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@nepeddler @davidjthunder Yes I think for the last 800 million years or something like that. Funnily enough, the climate has changed quite a bit over those years too.

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@mcgill1975 @JeremyVineOn5 @cherryhealey @GeoffNorcott @MichAckerley There is no age stated as “illegal” in U.K. law. However, you could be proved negligent depending on the circumstances. It depends on the child and the situation.

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@akerr_andrew @bella_dingdong @JeremyVineOn5 @cherryhealey @GeoffNorcott @MichAckerley So not “illegal” as per your original statement. Negligence needs to be proved.

[Helen Cowell @Helenmacattack]

@realmagicstu @LozzaFox Yes a woman with a shit pond and too many fish.
