@MartinSLewis Currently paying £147 a month to Octopus for dual fuel, expires in December. Next fix from them is £249 a month, gulp, and I won’t be getting the £100 credit either…..

@Mylovanov Well, if we take Rubio as truthful, we (Europe) need to build a reliable equivalent to Starlink, if it’s sooo flakey…..

[David Ibbotson @ibbotsond]

@Wetlettuce70 Yes, and sadly now Direct Line is owned by Aviva they also play the game, that they never used to, so this year for the first time ( for me anyway ) a renewal call to Direct Line saved me £180…..

@SkyNews @olivermiocic So, I take a statin, it’s prescribed via the NHS App, once every 2 months. Once prescribed it’s then not available for a repeat for 2 months. So, try as I might to hoard drugs, I can’t…..

@RestIsPolitics What a great interview, I’ve never thought of voting labour, not for a second, but boy did Angela come across well. Move over Kier!

@morningad So sad, I started my working life in one of the country’s first Brewers Fayre pub restaurants, some 40 years ago. Soup, steak, and a Black Forest gateau for under £5. I was also there opening the 400th site in Wales, happy days.

If you have a plan 2 student loan, pay income tax, and national insurance these are your marginal tax rates.

After £28k -> 41%,
After £50k -> 51%,
After £100k -> 71%,

That is not including the loss of child related benefits.

What incentive is there to work more?

[David Ibbotson @ibbotsond]

@MartinSLewis I’ve been with Direct Line for a number of years, with no luck getting a reduction. However this year now Aviva own them, they are just like the rest, and I got a good discount this year.

@GylesB1 “At pace” to which I always shout “snail’s?”

[David Ibbotson @ibbotsond]

@SimonCalder Yes, a few years ago now at the Marriott Lisbon, lady showering as I walked into the room, made a swift exit. Also happened to me 3 times in one night at a Hilton in LA. Someone said that cash paying guests aren’t always registered hence the room being unexpectedly occupied

[David Ibbotson @ibbotsond]

Waitrose install checkout cameras, a few weeks later add a little yellow sign saying “we trust our customers…”

So the very presence of the yellow sign and the camera says that they do not trust us.

Just stop insulting us by saying we trust you, when you don’t.

@BBCBreaking Frozen out? Suggest someone at the BBC reads Barnier’s Secret Brexit Diary……

@PeterStefanovi2 Couldn’t agree more, spat my lunch out when he said that.
