Just me. Photos, words and the odd opinion.

Whaley, I will miss you mate. My friend and partner in and outside of broadcasting for 30 years, I will see you on the other side X

@AmazonHelp A waste of time if you tweet for a DM but don't respond!

Bought a @layzspa hot tub on @AmazonUK during Prime Day. It said it had WiFi. It does not have WiFi. What followed was a comedy of errors, corporate pass-the-parcel, and me slowly losing the will to bubble. A thread 🧵 #PrimeDayFail #HotTubDrama

[Doug Williams @welshtog]

@layzspa @AmazonUK Still waiting for a reply. Tub's still dumb. Still mildly wet. @AmazonUK @layzspauk can we resolve this?

[Doug Williams @welshtog]

@layzspa @AmazonUK Saw the Santorini hot tub on Prime Day for £899. ✅ Says WiFi. ✅ Listed on Lay-Z-Spa's own store on Amazon. ✅ Website confirmed it too. Ordered. 2 delivery drivers wrestled it into my garden like it was a sacred treasure. So far, so good.

@layzspa @AmazonUK So here I sit. In a tub. That doesn’t talk to my house.
Feeling missold, misled, and mildly moist.
@AmazonUK @layzspauk help me out here?
Or should I just duct-tape an Alexa to the side?

@layzspa @AmazonUK Amazon said: return it.
Me: it’s filled with 1,200 litres of water and my shattered hopes.
Lay-Z-Spa: return it.
Me: could you just send the correct pump?
Everyone: No.

[Doug Williams @welshtog]

@layzspa @AmazonUK Set it up, filled it, heated it, ready to sync with app… but wait. No WiFi button. Huh. Check the manual, no mention. Open the app, my pump's listed but… no WiFi option. It’s the old version. The not smart one. The dumb tub. 😐

[Doug Williams @welshtog]

@layzspa @AmazonUK Backstory: I’d had a Lay-Z-Spa before. Loved it. Got rid of it during the energy crisis. Fast forward to now—solar panels, home automation, big dreams. I wanted a smart hot tub that only heated up when the sun said yes. 🌞 + WiFi = savings + bubbles.

@2SevernBridges @Chepstow_Racing Can you open the gates at the toll plaza so people can turn around?

Apparently, I am position 21 on the phone, meanwhile, the webchat is still awaiting an agent.. which will get to me first!

[Doug Williams @welshtog]

What the heck is going on with @ToolstationUK ? Missing items in a delivery, no response to web chats or the web form. I have been on hold for so long that I am starting to enjoy the music.

Great to see this sight of Glastonbury Festivals today! Nothing beats our ‘office’ view 💚 🚁
