@OctopusEnergy No answer to this question for your customer, @OctopusEnergy?

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@OctopusEnergy Hi - if we went ahead and had an ASHP fitted by Octopus, and either a) the house wasn't staying warm enough or b) our electricity bills went through the roof as a result, would we be able to insist that the gas boiler be refitted?

@OctopusEnergy @OctopusEnergy?

@MicrosoftHelps Hi - please can you let me know how to switch OFF these two on-screen elements from Microsoft Word for Mac? They are distracting me from my work so badly that I will have to cancel my subscription and uninstall the software if they cannot be disabled. Many thanks.

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@funrama Don't read the reviews...

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@g__j Hi Greg! I'm hoping you and the team will consider introducing a tariff to suit customers who have battery storage but don't have an EV or solar. Right now there's nothing which would justify me spending £4k+ on a battery - Agile is no longer good enough. Thanks in advance!

@OctopusEnergy Hi - latest iOS Octopus app crashes as soon as I try to launch it. I've tried deleting/reinstalling, but it's made no difference. Is this a known issue? Version is 4.101.0

@AnishKattukaran @madebygoogle Hi Anish! Great that we can now control hot water via the Google Home app! But why do we have to access this via Settings > Hot water > Schedule, instead of just tapping "Schedules" on the thermostat's home page?

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@madebygoogle Hi - I have no option to create a schedule for hot water in the latest Google Home iOS app, for my Nest 3rd Gen Thermostat. According to your release notes and blog, I should now have this functionality?

@jpalmiotti Bill lettered this?

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@ubereats_uk Driver brings only half of my order. Is rude to me on the phone. I have asked for my delivery fee, service fee, and driver tip to be refunded - you have refused. How can I escalate this complaint, please?

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@premierinn Many thanks, Nathan - just sent that DM now!

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@premierinn Hi, I have a booking at your Parc Menai hotel for this Saturday. We won't arrive until late (maybe 8pm), is there any danger of the hotel reselling the room before we check-in?

Sorry I’ve not been in touch recently, world, but I’ve been somewhat preoccupied. I’m presently in hospital following radiation treatment for my prostate cancer that has very rudely moved into my upper spine. Things are going well, I have nothing to complain about…

As the editor, I couldn’t be prouder of the work @michaelwconrad @IliasKyriazis and @SimonBowland have done on Millstone for @HeavyMetalInk - it’s really something special. Thanks to Graeme at @PopverseSays for sharing. Find Heavy Metal #1 in stores from this week!

@CatherineNeary Try the Benadryl tablets which contain Acrivastine as the active ingredient. Also consider Avamys nasal spray. Both work well for me and I have pretty bad allergies.

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@adityab Love the descender on the lower case G!

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@OctopusEnergy Great, thank you.

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@OctopusEnergy When I leave you, I'm guessing I need to return my Home Mini? If so, do you provide the return packaging?

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@OctopusEnergy Hi - please let me know how to return the Mini when I leave.

[Simon Bowland @SimonBowland]

@OctopusEnergy Many thanks. Please don't forget to get back to me on this, as I'm keen to get away from Octopus as quickly as possible.
