@thewhitecompany hi, I paid for a gift box for my husbands anniversary gifts and I’ve just opened the package to give it to him and there’s no gift box at all, just the postage one. I’m so disappointed to have paid extra for it and he’s just getting a plastic wrapped present.

How can I get a refund at least for the gift box that never arrived?

Nine years today since my proudest ever achievement in publishing. The time I got a Good Deed and a Rush Hour Crush printed on the same page of the Metro, both of which told a single, horrifying, story from two unconnected people.

Hey @AldiCustCare ! I picked up 2 packs of festival lights for this weekend and I’ve just opened them to see some arse has nicked one of the lights from one packet - am I able to return this with a receipt?

@nuna_uk I have an issue with my isofix car seat base - the ‘arms’ folded out to clip into the chassis, BUT I cannot fold the back in again after! They’re stuck sticking out and it’s impossible to store it or travel with it now - please help! What’s the trick to folding them in?!

Could you possible share a video that shows how to do it? There’s loads on installing, none on removing it again.

I don't know who Milo is talking about here, but since he has expressed pride in British culture, here are the ways in which his outfit violates British traditions. 🧵
If you don’t like living in English-speaking countries wearing English clothes eating English food with English manners, customs, systems of government and culture all around, have you considered not losing to us over and over again for hundreds of years? Just a thought

I think it’s appropriate for the Chancellor of Manchester University to remind people that we still hold the record for the worst (+ funniest) ever answer on University Challenge

Reports on Facebook that the owners of The Antelope pub Leyton E10 are removing the green tiling this week. @wfcouncil Enforcement - please investigate urgently to save the green tiling. Pub has active ACV.

there is *nothing* more British than attacking someone because of where they went to school – at Edinburgh, Scotland
🚨@RishiSunak: Keir Starmer attacks me because of where I went to school. I don’t think that’s very British.

England has the only privatised Water in Europe, the most water pollution, and the most expensive water. The UK has the only fully privatised energy, and the most expensive. The UK has privatised rail, the slowest, least reliable and of course the most expensive in Europe.

After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS

What gets me is that Tory MPs could have made a difference in people’s lives - they could have lifted people out of poverty, healed the sick, helped educate our children, and provided us all with a better future. Instead, they just took and took and took some more. Never again!
