@sportspsycoach @jginorton Lived in Yorkshire as a child, but Malton. North Yorks. He’s got that Halifax accent down to a T

@LeeCollins24 I KNOW!!!

@CrikeyCroydon Sadly I’m reporting that this was stolen today. Such a shame. The Christmas one lasted and we became casual. I have no idea what the thief will do with it! I shall blame the Chinese Mafia.

Another beautifully crafted post box topper has appeared in Addiscombe, this time celebrating the Chinese #YearoftheRabbit. What a lovely thing to do.

@HMRCcustomers I have had no notification of a tax code change but I have just had notice from NHS pensions that I’ll be paying 50% tax from this month. What a shoddy way to treat your pensioners. If my tax deductions were wrongly calculated, that was not my error! No food now

[Madeleine Quiney @madquin]

@HMRCgovuk why is it that I’ve had no communication from you, but my pension provider notifies me that my tax code has changed and I’ll be paying tax at 50% from this month!? Pick on the pensioners!

@CelestialDrones @identityglobal @BBC @MayorofLondon @TitaniumFwks Brilliant show!

@head_bernadette @TeacherBusy I also share a bed with an ex ice hockey player….. after many years since he retired from competitive play, I no longer get woken by a mad scrambling and shouts of “pass the puck, you bastard”

[Madeleine Quiney @madquin]

@emma_dainty @Tigersresults @Telford_Tigers @hullseahawks My thoughts entirely. Get the injured player sorted……

[Madeleine Quiney @madquin]

@Tigersresults @Telford_Tigers Very difficult to analyse intention to hurt when there’s a height differential like this. I’ve watched many a hit like this through the years that wouldn’t have even caused a ref to whistle.

@OigetitME Thank goodness!

[Madeleine Quiney @madquin]

@Wickes feel very let down. Son drove to us in his van (paying ULEZ) in order to collect fence panels from Croydon branch. Had checked - had stock. When there- NONE. Unhelpful staff shrugged. Disappointed

@louisaalicerose @SurreyOpera @minacktheatre Your performances got better and better!

@trainbodysmart I’ve watched this transition from top to bottom, and bottom to top, over four decades. One thing remains a constant - the passion and commitment. Something very special about Streatham.

[Madeleine Quiney @madquin]

@robertamathetes Yes indeed! I couldn’t stop staring!

[Madeleine Quiney @madquin]

@SilkFred paid for next day delivery….. no notice of no deliveries on a bank holiday! Shouldn’t have paid that extra money!

[Madeleine Quiney @madquin]

@CroydonCouncil so disappointing to see rubbish all over Ashburton Park….

[Madeleine Quiney @madquin]

@CroydonCouncil trying to renew my garden waste subscription. Can’t do it online. Link doesn’t work! Frustrated of Addiscombe!

Just caught a train from East Croydon to Victoria! Full of people with enormous suitcases. Most seats were consequently taken up by large bags. Impossible to walk through the train .
