Retired. No further interest in previous career. Previous followers from that professional context are unlikely to read anything of professional value.

@ChrisGPackham on the One Show you mentioned Jackdaws. We have a monogamous couple living in the pulley/gear box of a very old but still working crane. The nest is actually inside with the pulley wheels and cables. Every year they return.

#bbclaurak she's just lost my vote. Dishonest. Dodging the issues.

@JohnLewisRetail not a good day today. JL refusing to process and order. "Computer says no" !!! Come on JL do you want my money or not???

@premierinn Why not visit the Premier Inn, Solihull. You'll find a warm welcome at the Brewers Fayre next door, very warm, until you encounter the 'chef'. Rude, physically aggressive and no apparent knowledge of domestic hygiene.

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

@premierinn oh dear oh dear oh dear. I make a request to PI to deal with an aggressive member of staff and they refuse to even look into the matter. Why? You guessed it. 'data protection'

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

@premierinn This guest needs to eat and the chef apparently has issues. Is this a way to run a business?

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

@premierinn where is the manager? Answer your phone and sort this mess out!!!!

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

@premierinn where is my breakfast!!!

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

@premierinn oh dear. Incompetent chef at Solihull South. Manager not answering the phone (I wonder why). No comfort and no food here. Avoid!!!

One poor guy from the press office was decent enough to phone. Unfortunately this does not mitigate the abject failure of Calor Gas to 1. Deliver any gas (leaving us now in a temp of 10 degrees) 2. No contact from anyone with a direct responsibility for gas delivery

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

Having a dreadful time getting any response from Calor Gas @officialcalor Its bad enough having no gas delivered but the lack of any contact with Calor only makes it all worse. #calorgas we are freezing!!!!!!!

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

@officialcalor CALOR, SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOUR EVIDENTLY BUSY DAY BUT WHERE IS OUR GAS DELIVERY. WE HAVE NO GAS, NO HEAT AND AS A CONSEQUENCE MY HEALTH IS AT RISK. Calor seems happy with that, I am not

@officialcalor
with a reported Net Worth of: £108,400,000.00, how is it Calor cannot afford to run an efficient customer and delivery service?

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

@strimmerman @officialcalor same problem here.

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

@strimmerman @officialcalor I have no gas and Calor are ignoring all requests for an urgent delivery

[Mark Fookes @MarkFookes]

@strimmerman @officialcalor Evidently it is acceptable because that is the situation we find ourselves in this morning.
