@jet2tweets I will be - and updating progress here

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@jet2tweets After no water and electric at hotel for 2 days, your coach transfer did not pick is up at the hotel and left us standing in 36-degrees for an hour - with your tracker still telling us we were next pick up. This is not the end of this.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@jet2tweets Who can I contact now that will know the person’s contact details. Being abandoned like this is not remotely amusing and you seem to think it is not remotely urgent.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@jet2tweets I will be and i sincerely hope we don’t miss the flight. Don’t worry i have screenshots of your coach tracker if anyone tries to claim it was our fault. I would ask like to know the name of the Jet2 rep on the coach please.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@jet2tweets I require more than assistance. I need to know how this happened and why. I also do not want to have to spend days arguing about getting the money back for the taxi.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

No. We have now had to get a taxi. You can’t treat people like this.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@jet2tweets Yes. But not with any information on when we can expect electricity or water.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@jet2tweets Please give me a message to call

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@jet2tweets you have put us in a hotel with no emergency lights or power back-up. This is serious. No lights at all. You have issues here.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

No out of hours help?

ROAD TAX is going up in April. Here's what you need to know about the #Budget and how much you may need pay to drive on roads such as the #M25 and #M6, #A1 and #A12 https://t.co/D6CXKBCDck

Sad to hear about @QuentinWillson. Never really knew him well but would bump into him Clarkson and Tiff Needell at Bruntingthorpe - and always a thoroughly decent bloke. Condolences

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

Dory, the beloved cat at the care home, needs our help. She's hurt and the vet bills are high. Please consider donating or sharing. Every little bit counts for her recovery. https://t.co/AAGX2a6M1E

@MSurgery still can’t get through and I was ‘caller number 1’. Please advise.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@MSurgery finding it impossible to get through with test results. When sending a text asking for them a response link would be helpful. 25 mins on phone as ‘caller number 1’ when had to hang up. Thanks

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@SouthernWater is it really acceptable to leave a blocked waste pipe for 10’days - despite being your responsibility? Not really fair on anyone is it.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@Deliveroo thanks for cancelling our order as you don’t have enough drivers- pretty poor- but please let us know next time. That would be nice. Thanks and will order with a reliable firm next time. Best regards

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@LidlGB if you shut at 8.50pm then don’t put that you shut at 9pm on the door. And also don’t have threatening security on the door if customers don’t know that 9pm means 8.50pm. Thanks Lidl Sheffield. Just make it clear on the door. Thanks.

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@MSurgery Don’t forget to mention you have run out

[Pete Barden @pete_barden]

@MSurgery has run out of #flu jabs with no more coming apparently. Would have been nice to have known before arriving at appointment. @mimsdavies any help?
