@ZohoCares I’ve been in touch twice by email regarding an issue with access to our Zoho Recruit account, but with no reply in over a month. Can you please help?

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@easyJet - can you confirm why EZY3322 (Lisbon to Edinburgh) was cancelled today?

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@EastRenCouncil Thanks - did you get a response from the roads team?

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@EastRenCouncil A grey metal box has appeared on the pavement on Norwood Drive, Giffnock. It looks like it’s attached to some sort of sensor grid in the road. Do you know what it is?

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@MyGlasgowCC Do you have a completion date for the South City Way cycle route? Specifically, the section from Cumberland Street to Clyde Street.

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@CrieffHydro does your lovely sister hotel Peebles Hydro have a rowing machine in the gym? Asking for someone fitter than me 🙄

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@UniStrathclyde Ah - I was chancing it! Thanks for getting back to me.

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@UniStrathclyde Ridiculously early, I know - but do you have dates for 2022 graduation ceremonies yet? BA Hons Primary Education is the one I need.

@Hermesparcels The tracking status for a parcel I’m waiting for says ‘a major event is slowing us down’. Can you please tell me what this means?

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@jet2tweets Done :)

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@jet2tweets Hi – I've had an email saying you've cancelled my Glasgow to Pula flight on 31 July 2021. Mistake?

@TrishElms @mrdannysullivan @solongmarianne @robcatt @raineinthebrain @iamdavidobrien Around two years ago, we decided to boost our consultancy and training work. This is why.

@gordonnay @policescotland @NicolaSturgeon Last night was horrible. +20 blocking the path at SE of the pond. +30 at the ‘rocks’. Using the park as a public loo. Dialled 101. No reply after 5 minutes on hold.

@NYCOScotland Should my son have received an #audition date yet for the 16-25 choir? He applied before the guaranteed audition deadline.

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@Miele_GB Done! Thank you.

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@Miele_GB We own five Miele products. Washing machine went on the blink outside warranty. One week wait for first engineer visit. Two weeks for second. All with no washing machine. Is this Immer Besser? Seriously considering another brand rather than wait.

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@TheSSEHydro Any showtimes for the wonderful Benjamin Clementine and @DBtodomundo on Monday night?

[Alan Black @writerchappy]

@robcatt @erica_ca_ca_ca @AndymCopywriter @yogibytheway Another reason why we’re all about the brand voice ;) Short, descriptive content has been going to the bots for a while.

@scottishballet Looking to book a family outing to #Cinderella in Glasgow. What's the age limit for children on a family ticket?

[Road Policing Scotland @PSOSRoads]

Did you know: Those junctions with a protected area for cyclists have two white lines. If the traffic light is red you MUST stop at the first stop line. You’re not allowed to “creep” over it either. 3 points and £100 await those who do!

Read Rule 178 of @HighwayCodeGB
