@pompey4ever007 @rudd_su @PMBrewCo Back in late 2022 @PMBrewCo did the biggest ploughman’s in the world, we made the mistake of ordering one each (I finished mine off, obviously)

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@pompey4ever007 @rudd_su You done amazing, just look at that set up

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@pompey4ever007 Did the same on Sunday with a couple of thick steaks, can’t beat it

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@pompey4ever007 That’s very good, are you going to age it so it’s beds in with the over all scene?

@masato_jones Our money hit the bank after midnight, three of our craft bars moved to Square in the summer, much better fees and next day payout, we’d planned to move the last one in Jan anyway, this just confirms our choice, that’s £1m a year that Zettle have lost from us

[Masato Jones @masato_jones]

We talk about the indies here what happens is many of us work with card companies such as @iZettleUK and the most money a business will receive often is the weekend before Christmas it’s usually paid two banking days later

Zettle should have paid 27th December for 20th to 22nd December takings

They did not pay affected many businesses no media is interested @skynews @bbcnews @itvnews @business @FinancialTimes yet some businesses reporting missing £12,000 restaurants, cafes ear marked money to pay their staff

On social media let’s make a fuss of this please because we can

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@edfenergy After two weeks trying to get in touch, I think I’ll just switch back to Opus - how do I arrange that?

Also, check your DM’s I’ve already sent you everything

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@edfenergy I’ve been trying to contact you for over a week, call, WhatsApp etc, no answer, no response
Complete shambles since Opus takeover, bills doubled and meter mysteriously stops working

Please contact me

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@edfenergy Still no reply and we are over the 48 hours now

What do I do?

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@edfenergy 48 hours! It’s been over a week!

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@edfenergy Any chance of a reply, still nothing, we can now add X DM’s to the list of failed communications

No answer on phone, no response to WhatsApp, no reply to emails

How do I get in touch, never had a single problem with Opus and I didn’t choose to be an EDF customer

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@THEWENDYJAMES Excellent evening in Gosport, and you really do make time to talk with everyone

Thanks

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@tabamatu Not may pubs or bars give their customers credit

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@ellepoursdrinks The comments are brilliant

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@tabamatu It’s a good pub run by good people, but then I am slightly biased

If you’d come last week, we had four of your beers across two other venues, obviously all sold out in a day or two, Pineapple Head was particularly popular

[Simon Bull @simonjbull]

@jeffreyjohnbell London Black on draught in two of our three bars, it’s the best
