Hello, I’ve pretty much already left Twitter/X but now going to close my account. If there is anyone still here who would like to re connect on BlueSky, my details are in the attached image.

@dpduk_ Beyond furious. 2 days running your drivers have failed to deliver, saying I’m out. 2 photos - one of entirely different village, second one black. Neither have been anywhere near my house. Now left with hour round trip to nearest open pet shop to feed dog. With Covid 🤬

@manypets_uk Please sort yourself out! Had claim in for two months. You are delaying by saying you need more info from the vet, but vet sent it all to you on day one and no further requests. And now in a queue of 15 people on phone when I have no time - poor service 😡

@anaturalstate @HowellMarineCo @PlymUni @NaturalEngland Fab to catch up yesterday. Sorry not to catch you today, but will be heading Plymouth way soon and will give you a shout!

@ascension_gov @Amelia_Bridges @AscensionMPA What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man.

@anaturalstate You were brilliant! Loved your description of the CPR. A very enjoyable listen 🙌

[ness smith @nettlebum]

@anaturalstate Yay! You're on #InOurTime now! Good intro!

@SW_Help Nope, crowded unfortunately. But think it’s just been switched off so a chance to defrost 🥶🥶🥶 Thanks for your response- it was more of a rhetorical question and wasn’t expecting resolution.

@SW_Help Sat on 14.35 Waterloo > Bournemouth train. AirCon is blasting out on freezing and it’s very uncomfortable. Any chance you can actually regulate the temperature to something less Arctic 🥶 🥶🥶

Well you don’t see this every day! Naked rambler encountered on my morning dog walk. Not sure who was more shocked - me or the 🐂 😳😂😂😂

If there are any UK marine peeps left on here, and you belong to an underrepresented group in the UK, please complete this important survey being conducted on an inclusive future for our seas. And share widely even if you're not!  https://t.co/3R06FAULON

5 more days to get this petition the response from Government that it requires. Sign and Share.... Or allow gardens like this to push Sparrows, Hedgehogs, Bees, Butterflies and countless others to extinction https://t.co/gbUZCveIX1

@HugoSAS The whole system needs restoration. Each relies on the other and we rely on all for wellbeing… but you know this 😜

@MartinSLewis @finneyivan1963 @bbc5live Have lived in multiple countries including Tanzania, Madagascar, Falkland Islands. All have their challenges, no where is perfect, but would live in any one of them over the UK. Only thing that brings me back is family and friends.
