@LilSnackDaily Since when does the word Lost not start with an L?
Maybe in missing a silent X or something?

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@LilSnackDaily so is a bee a hibernating animal or not... Bit of a contradiction in today's puzzles

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

Hey @LilSnackDaily where do you think the band Iron Maiden got the name from? I'd call it a pretty scary place... AI isn't ready to take over just yet.

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@LilSnackDaily any proof that Goliath isn't mythical?

According to Google AI -
"There is no definitive archaeological proof of an individual giant named Goliath existing". I'm taking my win for this one.

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@MichaelSnasdell Funny how they don't allow replies

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

Keeping London Moving....

Albeit extremely slowly, uncomfortably....

@AmongUsGame I'm on a 100 minute ban because I disconnected whilst sitting looking at a black screen. The game wasn't loading so I quit?

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@LilSnackDaily do you want to tell my pet snakes that rats aren't food supplies?

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@MichaelSnasdell @waitrose Slugs are friends, NOT food 🤣

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

What do you do when your @waitrose strawberries comes with a free pet?

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@DavidHu05137188 @martynschmoll Ediz or the video narrator?

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@DazWilko1984 @HastingsDirect Did you expect more than a dull resolution?

Although DMC has given me additional avenues to consider. The story might not be finished.

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@HastingsDirect two questions...

1. Do you take payment for new or renewal of car insurance policies by cheque?

2. Does the Consumer Rights Act 2015 not apply to car insurance companies?

I've been sent a cheque, but paid by card.

Any advice @CitizensAdvice @MartinSLewis

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@HastingsDirect All I wanted was an honest and reasonable explanation. This is both of them so thank you.
I'm, hopefully reasonably, still not completely happy about how this situation occurred in the first instance but I consider this response as closure.

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@HastingsDirect My question is can I take out a policy and pay by cheque?

(I understand you guys are in an untenable position but unfortunately I don't have the contact details of the directors or owners of the company, so you are responsible as the voice of @HastingsDirect )

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@HastingsDirect This is obviously a policy that @HastingsDirect utilise to attempt to extort money from their customers. It appears to be against the relevant Act set by the government.
HD refunded 90% of the money to my payment card.

I'm happy to keep this public to warn others.

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@HastingsDirect No I would just like to know why Hastings Direct believe that a cheque is a justifiable means of reimbursement in 2025, especially s payment was made by card and, according to very quick research, this is not in line with the Consumer Rights Act.

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@MichaelSnasdell @dbboy29 @HastingsDirect @MartinSLewis I made it clear it wasn't my error lol.

If i have any future communication with them I'll have to make sure I get their fax number.

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@HastingsDirect please can you explain why you've taken almost £250 out of my bank account

[Jason Sykes @jason7579]

@dbboy29 @MichaelSnasdell @HastingsDirect @MartinSLewis So although they are more than happy to take my money by card immediately i have to wait for a CHEQUE to be posted for the outstanding £20. I've just checked my calendar and I'm sure we're not in 1986 anymore!!!

Another example bad business practices from @HastingsDirect
