@sewateruk @IanRennardson Can you perhaps answer without copying & pasting past responses that don’t even acknowledge the question being asked? We didn’t ask for a link explaining the water issues. We want to know if you’re on track to lift the boil notice on Sat? Please reply with a simple “Yes” or “No”.

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@sewateruk @IanRennardson Surely you can give us some sort of indication of whether you’re on track to remove the boil notice in 2 days or not? If not on track, tell us that. Repeating the same line ad infinitum is not helping anyone.

@whazell His first ever tweet… customers are important… but not *that* important… (or maybe he’s just testing our resilience)

@sewateruk @DaveHintonwater @bbcsoutheast Your first tweet said “customers play such an important part”… yet during the Tun Wells water crisis there’s been no public appearance or update from you. Are customers really that important — or is this a test of our “resilience”?

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@sewateruk 10 days from today (10 Dec) or 10 days from when you first said 10 days (3 Dec)?

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@sewateruk how likely is it that the water will be restored within the next 8-9 days? I was due to have abdominal surgery on Dec 2nd that was postponed due to water outage. Rescheduled for 17th, but only if boil order is lifted as need to be able to shower safely with open wound.

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@sewateruk It would be helpful to have the full story now though. I have had major surgery cancelled due to the water outage. It is now rescheduled for 17th. Knowing the full picture helps with planning and mitigation. The lack of transparency is causing a huge amount of unnecessary stress.

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@ThreshedThought I see SEW has been quietly adding more postcodes to their list of affected homes, incl. those who weren’t prev affected by the outage. Screenshot taken yesterday afternoon shows TN4 8BT (off Mr Ephraim) unaffected; but today’s info shows they must now boil water.

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@MarcusNovius @ThreshedThought Thanks for all your updates. I see that SEW have now given up telling us when the water will be restored and are instead telling us when they will next update us, which I suppose is an improvement.

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@ThreshedThought I stopped by the Odeon at 8:15 and they were handing out water, and unlike the other night, no queue! Asked the SEW guy when he thought water would be restored and he said, “overnight” 🤔

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@ThreshedThought Latest update says back on at 8am on 2nd. I’m due to have major abdominal surgery tomorrow but given all operations scheduled for today had to be cancelled, I’m now expecting mine to be cancelled too. This is adding a huge amount of stress to an already very stressful situation.

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@evantheodore_ Yep, same. It eventually let me pick a day… to then find they only have the £285 champagne packages available… no obvious way to try for another date without being taken back to the queue again. I’ve given up now (fortunately managed to see it at the Donmar first time around)

@WHSmith shocking service in Tunbridge Wells store. Top floor blocked off due to staff absence. Asked one of the 2 staff members at the till (where there were no customers) to get a CGP book for me and she said no. “If I go upstairs for you I have to go up for other customers”.

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@AmazonKDP @AmazonUK I have contacted you multiple times to discuss the fact that you sold a copy of my POD children’s book to a customer with illustrations of penises inserted into the book. And yet a month later, these obscene images are still being associated with my book.

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@twittingneedles @RobBrydon Watch out @RobBrydon - she’ll be offering to knit you next 🤣 So lovely to meet you last night. Good luck with the rest of the tour (not that you need it!)

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@David_Tennant @DonmarWarehouse My 14 yr old, her friend and I were there (they’re studying Macbeth in school & are both huge DT fans). We all loved the play and the girls were excited to catch a glimpse of DT leaving. They waved frantically and managed to snap a quick photo, which they were VERY happy about!

[Jessie Wilson @jinkonet]

@Matthew_Hodson My daughter is a huge Sondheim fan and she’s only 13. Her current favourite is Assassins, followed by Merrily We Roll Along (yet to see Sunday in the Park with George). All started with a school production of Sweeney :)

@bothness @ONS Thanks. Sadly the methodology info doesn’t mention how age-standardisation was calculated, so would massively appreciate any help sourcing 2011 stats for upper tiers. Thank you 🙏🏻
