Former TV News Editor. Food and travel obsessive.

@LNER Now no hot food or hot drinks for first class on the train after no coffee in lounge. What a shambles.

@LNER Coffee machines in newly refurbished first class lounge are all out of service. Staff say it will take 6 months to fix. Embarrassing. Hardly first class service

After 18 years at the BBC and 20 years at ITV I have finished my final shift as News Bulletin Editor @GMB The people I have worked with over the last 38 years have been the highlight. Many have become lifelong friends who I will continue to cherish.

John Stapleton was the ultimate professional. A brilliant broadcaster and journalist. But he also showed respect to everyone he worked with. That is why former colleagues are so sad today. He was part of the team and we were all privileged to know him.

So sad to hear that the incredible John Stapleton has died. An amazing mentor and one of the kindest people in TV news. I was so lucky to have worked with him for so long, meeting him on my very first day in TV over 20 years ago. Just a few weeks ago I reunited him with Penny and it was a magical moment. Thank you John for your constant advice, kindness and laughs. You will be sorely missed.

John Stapleton was one of the very best presenters I directed at GMTV and @GMB. His versatility was unmatched, and he had an innate ability to navigate any challenge from breaking news to technical hiccups, whether in the studio or on location he was brilliant. Each Christmas, he and @WhichPennySmith would bring the crew presents, showing just how much he cared about the team. He was truly one of the good guys. Rest in peace, Stapes.

Annie Nightingale gave me the soundtrack to doing last minute French homework on a Sunday evening in the late 1970s. Thanks Annie you were fab. RIP

@Tesco Not a single berry in my “super berry” granola. Not very super at all.

[Phil Ramsden @ramsdp10]

@crucibletheatre @NationalTheatre Surely there must be plans for a national tour or a more permanent home? It is too fabulous to just disappear.

Well, after what I thought was a godsend ended up being a complete cock up! 100000 nectar point bonus awarded then due to @nectar mistake in giving it to over 3000 people they have now taken them back, absolutely gutted, thought I had a few months of stress free food shopping!

[Simon Morris @simonmorris60]

@ramsdp10 @nectar @sainsburys Exactly same happened to me. Complete shambles, messing with people's emotions!
