On Fri I flew @British_Airways from London to Nairobi. I received a message from BA to say case had been delayed Sat, found that case sent On Wed only by calling number that case arrived Tuesday. No update fro BA at all. Very poor performance

I know it's a long shot, but today I lost this broach somewhere between Inner Temple & the RCJ. If anyone might have seen it please can you let me know? It doesn't have monetary value but was my great grandmother's & means so much to me. I know it's likely gone but worth a try 😔

Fool me once @BulbUK not twice. All the time I have been emailing back and forth to get my problem resolved to who I thought was a real human being, I now realise that it was a machine replying. Feeling so disappointed with it all. No wonder nothing gets done. Colin

It would appear that @BulbUK are unable to tell me when an engineer will call to connect my Smart Gas meter to enable me to read my usage remotely. They tell me they will let me know two days before an engineer will arrive. Really? Is this how they run their business?

New gas smart meter installed by @BulbUK on 17 Dec 2022 and still unable to get a reading on the Bulb App, in spite of repeated requests. It also took them 12 months to get it reinstalled. Ina le to get accurate readings for over 12 months.

Frustrated and disappointed that if you wish to partake in an offer with @sainsburys that expires on the day of ordering, you will not receive the discount on the day of delivery. Sad am unable to get someone with authority to call me back, in spite of being told they would do so

Well worth watching.

I am seeking to buy 36 bottles of wine @sainsburys and unable to find a way of finding out which store has this amount of stock. Please help.

Am online to @Sainsburys trying to purchase 36 bottles of Oyster Bay for a wedding and am unable to complete card payment as saying Generic System Error. Have been on hold on phone for over 56 mins, so gave up. So guess I will take my £300+ elsewhere. Disappointed

Let’s stop assessing people. Let’s understand them. Let them drive, once they are ready to (this is sometimes right away and sometimes isn’t). Let’s build around that relationship that works for people. Let’s prize casework or whatever you want to call it 8/
