Two hours into a local power cut, nice to to be able to use my ham radio kit to keep our phones charged and have a hot cup of tea

[Pete Sipple @petesipple]

It’s been a good one (those who know, know!)

Geeking out today at a combined 3D printing / Cosplay event in Southend. Orac, an arduino Enigma and some memorable droids. #happydays

Kudos to Sky’s correspondent for busking for about 10 minutes before the Southend West result was called. Headlines: 24% turnout (3rd lowest since WWII). Cons: 86.1%. 2nd place “spoilt ballot” (7%), 3rd place: Psychedelic Movement (3.4%). Bizarre bi-election.

@Applawspetfood Shocking that the @Applawspetfood statement doesn't include the batch numbers of the products, or what to do if, like us, you've been feeding your cat this food for months. The actual batch codes & what to do can be found on the manufacturer's site, here: https://t.co/l4er6SyB5f

[Pete Sipple @petesipple]

Anyone affected can find the actual batch codes here: https://t.co/l4er6SyB5f

Worrying - Product recall for the food we've been feeding our kitten for months. Recall affects some Applaws dry, Pets at Home AVA & Sainsburys Hypoallergenic cat food - https://t.co/Z17V4nv6h8 - Statement from @Applawspetfood is vague on batch numbers and the recall process...

Thanks for wasting an hour of my life @TalkTalk - very disappointed in the attitude of your online chat team when I’ve been trying to sort out a phone fault for my elderly mother.

@bbcwatchdog - Sadly @CPWTweets don’t seem to care about the #cantcomplain campaign. I flagged an issue with trading in a smartphone and not getting the right amount. Carphone Warehouse promised to look into it, but nothing after two weeks. Worth a look, BBC?

[Pete Sipple @petesipple]

For my broadcast radio geek chums - an archive video about the RDS TA flag, with AA Roadwatch and LBC from 1990 - enjoy! https://t.co/ITSJlUSWPc

@BBCWatchdog #cantcomplain @CPWTweets My other half traded in her working phone but was only offered a fraction of the quoted price. They won’t respond by email, she’s fobbed off on the phone, and they refuse to return her handset. Looking at Small Claims Court...

@Number10cat Yes - I’m often “helped” by my furry sidekick - https://t.co/aK0dJvBkQc

Thanks to my chums who helped with messages for hospital radio’s The Thank You Hour. Here’s the mix - listen at 8:02 at https://t.co/hp9gtR7Y7F

@m0taz Now affecting all networks...

[Pete Sipple @petesipple]

Appears that the EE network is suffering a major outage. #notgood

@whaleygeek @M0PZT @ByeEd2 @SouthendTech Will DM you
