If the population of the UK is officially around 68million why are there 87million mobile phones subscribed to the Government's national warning system?

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@virginmedia Thank you, I'll send you details shortly.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

Have just tried to escalate complaint to @virginmedia about aggressive van driver in Chesterfield but the phone number doesn't connect and the webchat demands a sign in. It's no wonder the van drivers think they're untouchable.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@virginmedia
driver of van BJ72 FMC in Wharf Lane, Chesterfield, decided to pick a fight rather than comply with a polite request to move back to allow us to park in permit only zone. Got out to get physical until cameras were pointed out @DerbysPolice.

Turns out the @stwater works, for which no notice was offered, is being undertaken by @NetworkPlusltd. The chump putting cones out last night didn't know anything about notifications and, surprise surprise, neither do they numpties who turned up at lunchtime "just to dig mate".

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@micklesb Sorry to hear it Michael but you'll bounce back mate. Always a living to be made as a good freelance. Been there a few times but early retirement was the best thing I ever did, although you're still way to young for that.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@STWater have one-day permit to dig up my road. Parking permit area. Parking at a premium. College in term round the corner. NO WARNING, no note through letter box. NO CUSTOMER RELATIONS. Found out only 'cos we caught numpty putting cones out 9.30 last night. #peedoff #complaint

@AmazonHelp Did that, typed a message, but it just throws up preset topics not a personal typed response

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

Is @Amazon breaking the law @FSA? Without any authorisation from me it just signed me up because somebody else pressed a button on a Sky contract that's not in my name. Not even a text asking for confirmation. I've not subscribed for over a year. Surely that's illegal.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@AmazonHelp Tried that Natalie, it just goes into a loop where direct contact seems impossible.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@GaryLineker Good.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@D_Times Did anyone doubt it would happen? Did anyone think the council would even consider what locals want once they come up with these hair-brained schemes? Look at the mess they are making on Sheffield Road with their congestion-causing 'improvements'. Utter morons.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

Update to yesterday's post about #microshite, it's now five out of six days that @Microsoft updates have delayed my laptop use by over half an hour. Fuckwits.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

For out of five past days my laptop had taken ages to start because fucking @Microsoft has been updating updates to updates that it failed to test before sending out. Wankers.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

Just had a robot call from Colt Technology Services, London 02034434767. Apparently this is some Internet provider. Must be a shit company if this is how they tout for business. Avoid.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@D_Times The houses have already been built on the identified site Tim.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@btcomplaints my mobile service has plunged to nothing at home recently despite service checker saying nothing's wrong. Logged on to mybt but can't find way to chat online. Can't call on mobile from home. Have to use the landline I don't want and use only to call BT. Not happy.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

@micklesb No Michael. The media wants Boris out and is driving division. It won't remove the Tory Government, just replace the leader. Will that appease the media? Maybe, for a week or two and then the knives will come out again.

[Andrew Hibberd @hobohack]

Fed up with driving instructors parking illegally in permit only zone. I know they have to learn but if instructors ignore road signs what hope is there for students. This one got out of his car to argue he was in his rights, leaving student in charge of running car. @dvsagovuk

Just heard that Sir Kier Starmer's Labour Government would create 100,000 new businesses in its first term... erm, that's 626,000 fewer than started in 2020! And surely it's entrepreneurs that start businesses. The Gov't should support ALL of them. Talk about low-hanging fruit.
