@sthelenscouncil , I hope your bin emptying operatives will do better this morning. They left the receptacles nearly in the road last week and didn't leave more organic waste bags for me.

When I asked him to finish with me, he had the cheek to say he had and then handed the receipt to me.

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

@homebargains just had quite bad treatment from one of your staff in Earlestown.
Maybe you shouldn't feel so bad. It's quite common in shops generally. I mean the behaviour of a checkout person starting to deal with another matter when they haven't finished serving me.

@BBCNews BBC News material preparation failure. The big GLOBAL news organisation made this mistake. Not the first time I've seen such a silly mistake by the beeb. How is this possible? Are the adults on holiday?

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

@Bills_gallery @doctor_oxford @LBC @reformparty_uk Explain. What 'political control' does it exert? I see and hear lots of people like you, rejecting the idea and acting just as they wish, not bothering to use a mask. And you are free to do that.
So, there isn't control, is there?

@PragmatismFan @TonyHinton2016 @doctor_oxford @Nigel_Farage I've had flu (or a bad cold?) for 4 days. I've felt really ill, with lots of sneezing and coughing.
I've consistently worn a mask in shared parts of my home, trying to reduce chance of my housemate catching it.
My housemate has remained well so far

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

@High_Privilege @chemian99 @TonyHinton2016 @doctor_oxford @Nigel_Farage Yes, we have generally polluted the environment enormously and are all ingesting microplastics.
It's a problem we need to tackle, along with MASSES of other things.
Wearing mask right now BTW. Got flu.
Have had it for 4 days and my housemate is fine, hasn't caught it

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

@AldiUK I've just experienced a bad attitude from the person at the self-service check out at your Newton-le-Willows supermarket. She didn't attend to a simple thing properly and then claimed it was a genuine mistake. I was surprised because a few days ago I received nice service

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

@AmazonHelp That only let me do the same thing I did on Friday, to inform you it's been dispatched to the wrong address. That didn't stop that being done again. I don't have confidence in you

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

@AmazonUK I'm getting very bad service from you, through DPD.
A delivery was dispatched to the wrong address, my old address on 12 Jun. I informed you of this. It's been dispatched to the same, wrong address again.

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

@pinkutalks @NoContextBrits I agree. Beans are NOT a breakfast food.

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

@Eyeswideopen69 @HelbelC33528285 Must be. I laughed.
I think it would make Ian Curtis laugh.

I took this today. Cats doing synchronised napping

[James Lucas @JamesLucasIT]

18. Cats perfectly aligned on the stairs

@HerrmannMovie It's very difficult to choose one. Many have their particular great qualities. Innovation and variety are things I admire in a composer's work. Bernard Herrmann really produced music showing that.
Howard Goodall made a good documentary on Herrmann.

@Dviper14 @LFC_ERYAN @LFC @FA_PGMOL I've made the mistake, since the start of this season, of taking the most interest in football that I have in many years. I think I'll go back to concentrating on other things.

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

@Dviper14 @LFC_ERYAN @LFC The @FA_PGMOL statement is basically an admission that the officials reduced the game to a worthless farce.
It shows a big problem in the sport: terrible errors by officials distort games and lead to results that probably wouldn't have happened without such poor decisions.

Word of the day is ‘quake-breech’ (16th century): one who lacks the courage to stand firm.

[Gregory Welsh @Welshy_Greg]

One of the best things I've heard for quite some time.

[BBC Birmingham & Black Country @bbcwm]

Jennie Barber single-handedly took on British Airways and won.

She represented herself in court and cited law from 1943 to win refunds for cancelled flights during the pandemic.

@AdrianEdmondson The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The Burkiss Way. (An episode on R4extra last week had the delivery of a cabinet minister to a bemused woman. The delivery man says she can use it to put rubbish in.
"I haven't got any."
"You're in luck, the Chancellor's in this other box.")
