@virginmedia @ODEONCinemas Really struggling with some unbelievable poor service and total lack of customer care from Virgin Media. I cannot get an engineer booked for my phone line despite VM team saying they were going to make the booking twice….. cannot get through to anyone with sense of customer care

At an otherwise very difficult time for all at least the flood guidance statement is ‘green’ for the first time in months #smallmercies

Hamza is now at level 3 of his IST qualification and he is a qualified First Aider and Fire Warden. He has grown in confidence and recently colleagues ⁦@DefraGovUK⁩ threw him a surprise birthday party. “We hit gold when we got Hamza”

Here’s my response to the @Telegraph criticisms of @EnvAgency during the current, devastating floods. #floodaware

[Environment Agency @EnvAgency]

#DYK that rainfall can wash dog poo into bathing waters through surface water drains and streams, even if the dog fouls far from the beach? 🏖️

Join the legion of responsible dog owners, bag up your dog poo and put it in the bin, any bin will do! #BagItBinIt

At @Waitrose to see their “unpacked” trial to remove & reduce #plastic from our supermarket shop - really impressive. Met lots of happy shoppers who say this is what they want. Is this the future? Only if we get on board - & pressure the supermarkets to do the same. #WarOnPlastic

Fantastic to see opportunities being offered as hairdressers to people with disabilities #WorkFit #FridayFeeling
