@RoyalMail how do I possibly speak to someone about a parcel that’s not been delivered 4 times? Spent 2 hours on the phone Monday - due to be delivered to a post office today but again, a no show and no updates. Impossible to navigate your phone prompts to speak to someone!

With Christmas coming and cost of living out of control. Just so you know, if you run out of food or necessities, or times are just tough, please don’t let you or your kids go to sleep on an empty stomach. Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to send me a private message.
@StevenMcinerney I’ve mentioned this before and I’ll say it again. Rico ruins everyone’s position I don’t know what pep sees in him, but the kid doesn’t cut it. Players don’t pass to him and it’s like to playing with 10 men. The stands say the same.
@MEMORllA I feel you’re doing a disservice to Clevz here haha, he’s the most overrated player I’ve ever seen, the kid has no position no strength and limited ability.
Hey @easyJet you cancelled my flight less than 14 days, but you are pretending you didn’t. Here’s your email notifying me of cancellation on 27th July and your email pretending you told me on the 25th! I also have your email saying I wasn’t even booked! Do the right thing #eu261
Manchester City’s new song on the way down to Wembley today..
🎶 “Follow follow follow,
City’s taking the piss and you know,
All that money you spent,
Since Ferguson went,
And you’ll never win 4 in a row” 🎶

They are the best football team in the league @ManCity
On the pitch you cannot doubt them. Off the pitch, they’ve done what all the other big clubs do. Some are just better at hiding it.
1 PL is hard enough to win, never mind 4 on the spin. Plus multiple cups and old Big Ears.
Didn’t see any accountants scored any goals for them.
The greatest PL team and manager. @ManCity and @PepTeam

Rich people and big companies deserve tax breaks.
Read this -
Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this...
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay £1.
The sixth would pay £3.
The seventh would pay £7.
The eighth would pay £12.
The ninth would pay £18.
And the tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.
So, that's what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every week and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until, one day, the owner caused them a little problem. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your weekly beer by £20." Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free but what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the £20windfall so that everyone would get his fair share? They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33 but if they subtracted that from everybody's share then not only would the first four men still be drinking for free but the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fairer to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage. They decided to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.
And so, the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (a100% saving).
The sixth man now paid £2 instead of £3 (a 33% saving).
The seventh man now paid £5 instead of £7 (a 28% saving).
The eighth man now paid £9 instead of £12 (a 25% saving).
The ninth man now paid £14 instead of £18 (a 22% saving).
And the tenth man now paid £49 instead of £59 (a 16% saving).
Each of the last six was better off than before with the first four continuing to drink for free.
But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got £1 out of the £20 saving," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got £10!"
"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a £1 too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!"
"That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get £10 back, when I only got £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "we didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next week the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important - they didn't have enough money between all of them to pay for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
