@Helen_SDU_Hud So, I'm thinking here of my neurodivergent daughter who is a maths whizz but the nuances and subtext of words absolutely stymie her autistic brain. Is this something I could challenge under the DDA? Tory scum I'm coming for you. You should start worrying now.

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@MountainWHouse You've just sent me a refund. Does this mean you don't want my business? I really just want my goods please. You've cost me hours in time emailing you trying to resolve this and spoilt a birthday. Are you really just washing your hands of it? Wow.

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@Mountainwhouse you now appear to be ignoring my emails and tweets. Please can you tell me where my parcel is and how you're going to apologise for the 18 day delay?

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@MountainWHouse I've also asked you to change the delivery address to send it to a hermes drop off point. Four times. But you haven't done this.

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@MountainWHouse I've told you so often hermes won't deliver to my address and you keep sending it out via hermes. They're the problem. Use any other courier and it will come. Please? Please? Pretty please?

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@MountainWHouse I've emailed you 20 times now and still not got my parcel. I've also DMd you and still got nowhere. I'm stuck.

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@MountainWHouse I have not been told of any alternative arrangements and now nobody is answering my emails. I'm trapped in a kafkaesque nightmare and STILL without my daughter's birthday present. Please send help.

[ruth allen @viceverger]

Let down. @Mountainwhouse you promised my parcel would arrive in time for her birthday. Failed miserably despite repeated assurances. Now will you send it by someone other than the shitshow that is

@hermesuk

or I am destined to never receive it? 18 days and counting

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@MountainWHouse I've sent 18 emails to customer services, 3 DMs to you, and I still don't have my parcel. I'm not going to DM you any more, this is now sorted out in public. Apologies, but I've done my best to do this politely.

[ruth allen @viceverger]

Please can you tell me why you use Hermes to (not) deliver your parcels? 18 days you've had my money and hermes have let you down again. Customer services keep resending via hermes. It doesn't work. Please help. @mountainwhouse

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@solearther Hope you're mended soon and not in too much pain.

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@londonteacher_ I remember every single one of the teachers that made an impact on me - the two best - Mr Burkinshaw for making me love maths and Mr Downs for his superb GCSE English teaching, the encouragement, the praise, but most importantly the making me feel I was worth something.

Remembrance weekend involved a long hike to bomber plane crash sites on the moors to pay their respects. It also involved so, so much mud. @CVHSYear7

@huddnewcoll Big shout out to the lovely chap in the maths deperatment who was an absolute superstar, massively enthusiastic and well-informed.

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@Helen_SDU_Hud That's in no way acceptable for an institution of learning. I'm deadly serious.

[ruth allen @viceverger]

@majab1000 @read_holmfirth @DanesfieldManor So lovely to meet you in the shop yesterday (I was behind the till!)

[ruth allen @viceverger]

So Jacob spent his weekend in the mud doing this! (chariot racing with Scouts if it's not obvious) @CVHSYear7
