@Victorianplumb - a radiator with a massive dent in it and a tap with a manufacturer's mark. 3 emails over 10 days telling me I'm in a queue to finally get one that says you're looking into it. Dent clearly visible due to a damaged box- how much longer is this going take?

@CostaCoffee I'd like a coffee costa. I've just gone to your Edgbaston drive thru who wouldn't serve me unless I was inside a car. Please can you explain as this is not on the literature you have published and makes no logical sense. From an NHS worker who needs caffeine.

Grabbed some pud a few weeks back from @la_pop_edgbaston I have to admit I was pretty apprehensive about this place as it seemed like yet another 'dessert shop' full of tasteless treats, full of e-numbers, covered in squirty cream etc, but was pleasantly surprised. Definitel…

@StarbucksUK Different staff to usual friendly bunch at Birmingham New Street today. 2 girls absolutely miserable. Didn't crack a smile despite my best efforts to be cheary! One then belittled me for not being able to get my cup in the 'holder'! Was gobsmacked!

Had a lovely evening this Wednesday sampling the new menu @migastapasbar in Sutton Coldfield. Such a cosy spot for authentic tapas and their new chef has nailed it with their menu relaunch. They're coming up to their 1 year anniversary and I've found they're the perfect spot…

@perkbox @EE Thanks @perkbox I have been talking to a lovely lady called Lottie @EE who is sorting it out. Any problems, I'll let you know :)

[Imogen @teaontheceiling]

@EE just accused me if lying and making up a discount code. Absolutely furious! @EE representative saying he'd never heard of @perkbox and I could just be making it up to get money off!
