@Morrisons visited the Holyhead Road store while we're camping in Coventry. Absolutely dire store. Shelves half empty (on a Friday!). Shop assistant that hadn't a clue about where something was and gave completely wrong info. We'll be going to Sainsbury's tomorrow!

@GreggsOfficial Grantham services poor service. Corned beef bake from the hot counter was not hot. It might have come out of the hot cupboard some while ago. Can it be heated? No, we're not allowed to. I'd have eaten a cold corned beef sandwich instead!

@AOL why the need for additional security to sign in to AOL e-mails on a pc? If my wife is out, I cannot sign into our joint e-mail account as the text message (which doesn't work), the WhatsApp or the Gmail e-mail address is on her phone, meaning that I cannot in!

@YNYMayor just watched the interview on #LookNorth. More cash in any area is a definite bonus, IF it is used as intended. But, as stated, how does increasing the cost of staying at a hotel or B&B in York (or anywhere), drive up more visitors? This is an imaginative view 😳

@StarbucksUK on our last day in Italy, we went into Maximall Pompeii and decided to go to Starbucks and get a couple of coffees. We were completely disappointed that my wife's Starbucks rewards through her app are not honoured in Italy. What's going on?

@parkrunUK It was 24°, extremely hot and extremely sweaty 🤣🤣🥵

@EE I've had my mobile with @EE for years. When in Europe, I'm charged £2.59/day or £21.50 for 12 days. My wife is with @ThreeUK (with a lower monthly charge) and her European roaming and usage is free. How come the difference?

@asdatravel Go to @asdatravel we were advised for currency - great rates!

The rates are average. @PostOffice is a better rate.

And when there's a £2.99 buy back charge thrown in that my wife stated wasn't required - we have been completely conned!

Will not be using again!

@BMWMotorradUK my R1250RT in for scheduled service yesterday. When I picked the bike up I was told some update was wrong and the HUGE warning that bike needs a service (and triangle) not been reset. "Drop in when you're passing". A 50 mile round trip is hardly while passing!

@HS2ltd the works around the M42 are a complete joke. How long does it take to build a railway line? The apparent disorganised mayhem has been going on for years.

The sceptics would think that someone is reaping the benefits of a government contract

[Michael Alexander @Wing__Michael]

@BMWMotorradUK last year, I visited my local dealer to enquire about trading in my GL1800 for a K1600. We can only take BMWs as trade ins was the response. Add to that the satnav is useless - 50/50 whether it works on my R1250RT!

I will keep the Goldwing

@OntheBeachUK do the various campaigns from this company affect my choice of holiday provider? Yes.

I would never use them even if they were the last company on earth providing holidays

Making use of your latest script...

No #@€king chance
Wouldn't #@€king consider you

@RangeRover renewed incontrol but without the expensive roadside assistance as we already have other recovery. Totally f*@:in' useless person on phone who wouldn't help my wife to reset key fob miles from home. HTF does she get to a dealer to deal?

@BMWMotorradUK went to dealer to change my GL1800 for a K1600. Dealer only takes BMWs part ex. "We'll get a price and phone you". 3 months later still waiting. But GPS in the TFT screen is useless. I have one on a works 1250RT and it works 60% of the time. £25k and dodgy GPS? No!

@YWHelp Did the team arrive on the 11th? There are still three plumes of water coming out of the road and covering the road surface with water.

At least there doesn't appear to be ice this morning

[Michael Alexander @Wing__Michael]

@YWHelp water gushing upwards out of the road in Ossett at the Goldsmith Avenue/Albert Drive roundabout

[Michael Alexander @Wing__Michael]

@YWHelp Your wastewater team still needs to attend this! The one side of the roundabout is covered with water and when the dashboard on my motorcycle shows a potential for ice this has to be a concern.

Well it is to me, anyway

[Michael Alexander @Wing__Michael]

@YWHelp Did anyone have a look? Water is still coming out of the ground this morning

@hartleysfruit a while ago, the individual sugar free jelly pots were really nice. Ideal when camping, or for lunch at work.
Now, the jellies have a load of liquid in them. Not jelly! What's going on?
Especially when it's unexpected and the liquid ends up all over one's trousers!

[Michael Alexander @Wing__Michael]

@YWHelp Unlikely, but a near one is WF5 9TR
