@cardiffcouncil @Help_C2C They've just collected the food bin and left it thrown in the middle of the road nowhere near where it was put for collection. Have you thought about employing some trained monkeys? They'd probably do a better job! 🐒

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@cardiffcouncil please remind me why I bother to spend time sorting my recycling for it just to end up thrown all over the road by the bin men?

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@cardiffcouncil @Help_C2C Maybe @Help_C2C can explain why I waste my time then 🙃

@AdvollyR @GWandShows As great as the piece was, and I did enjoy it, perhaps ask @BBCWales or even @suekentathome about the pronunciation of place names 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@Tesco your new jet wash at your Culverhouse Cross, Cardiff store is terrible. As soon as someone starts using the drive thru the jet wash loses all water pressure. Money down the drain (literally) 🤦🏻‍♂️

@JalopyUK @PeterHa87267388 @idriveaclassic Exactly why I am trying to encourage the Pre-war clubs to do something about it. It is in the club members own interest. If nobody wants these vehicles the value of them will just keep falling.

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@ATriumph1300 @idriveaclassic If you look, you will find there are plenty of Pre-War cars available around the £3/4,000 mark. There is the issue of using them daily if your commute involves the motorway, but perfectly usable around town and on minor A and B roads.

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@maskcempt @ConnorJHeath @idriveaclassic I certainly don't think it's the lack of screens. Most of us spend 35 hours a week sitting in front of one for work, so are glad to get away from them. The main issue is relatability, nobody below the age of around 60 would remember these cars being used daily.

@BertiePunto @idriveaclassic Callum, we are hoping he joins us at the ATDC

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@idriveaclassic @GrahamR80837612 Yes, Callum. He is a member of the Scottish Austin club. Not sure if he has joined the Austin Ten Drivers Club, I'm working on it!

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@BBCBreaking Who will remind us to be kind to the turkeys this christmas? 😢

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@BBCRadioWales @BBCSounds All this media coverage is doing nothing for the (inaccurate) reputation and the perception of Ely people. These were the actions of the few, not the many but we will now all be tarred with the same brush. Perhaps Ely lad @jasonmohammad can speak up for the good people of Ely?

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

Sure I just saw @missdianemorgan in @AnchorTintern, Cunk on (Offa's) Dyke?

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@idriveaclassic @PettyFellow To be fair you say 'old boys', it was one of their wives that made that comment... Maybe she thought there were better ways to spend her Saturday ha

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@WelshMopar @idriveaclassic Isn't that what the FBHVC do?

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@AKNFContent @idriveaclassic A battle I am trying to help fight for the Austin Ten Drivers Club before it's just me and a handful of others in the club.

Storage issues also means insurance issues. The ATDC recommended insurer won't even insure my cars in a driveway! (No room for garage atm)

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@virginmedia Clearly not true. The price offered was over £60 p/m whereas the same package to a new customer was £37.99 p/m.

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@virginmedia called you 3 times now, cut-off 3 times when being transferred, no call back. My elderly mother's bills have been steadily creeping, account still in my deceased father's name (have asked to change but it hasn't been, upsetting every time a bill arrives). (Cont'd)

[Matt Coles @MWColes]

@virginmedia Will do. Perhaps I can appeal to someone's humanity and not the corporate machine that doesn't care!
