Hey @Metquarter how come all your food hall tables have a IbeLoyalty "order at table" sticker which takes you to an app which, quoting the lady behind the bar, "doesn't work" and advertises sellers that don't exist? Awful experience

A grand day out at with @RMCRetro at The Cave looking at all the incredible new things since the last visit. A talk from Stephen "Terrible Fire" Leary, a peek around the new repair workshop and a pork pie literally with my name on it made the perfect day – at Chalford, England

Great day out at with @RMCRetro at @RetroDaysOut listening to @djh0ffman explain about free phone calls (and some stuff about Amiga demos too) and playing games. @STompyRR said I was a loser for never finishing a game so I completed 180 Darts on the BBC in front of his very eyes.

Hi @HiveHelper I have a two channel receiver but will soon be upgrading to combi and need a 1ch. Do I have to rebuy the whole thing? Installer had both but took the unused one away with him when it was first fitted.

A very worthy cause, and a substantial amount of hair getting lopped off!

Please everyone note that @MultisystemFGPA (F-G-P-A) is a fake account and not the actual @MultisystemFPGA account for the MMS. Don't pay them anything! Please report to Twitter

What I absolutely love is waiting 25 minutes on hold to @RoyalMailHelp only for someone to pick the phone up and immediately put it down. I only wanted to find out why the Special Delivery I posted a week ago is in limbo. Guess I'm back to the end of the queue again!

It seems the only thing I use Twitter for now is to complain to @UPS_UK that their driver has YET AGAIN decided I wasn't home without actually coming to the house. Happens every single time I'm expecting UPS "Rescheduled as receiver wasn't available" nonsense. In all day!

Hello @firstdirecthelp - I tried to pay some cash into my account today, only to find since you swapped my Visa card for a MasterCard I can't do that! And the (large) branch I went into is "digital only" so no counters. Can I swap back to Visa please so I can use the machines?

Absolutely awful service from @AmazonUK - a driver delivers a bottle of screenwash instead of a tablet and they close the account!
I’d avoid @amazon UK if you can. I’ve returned one item that was an incorrect item this year. Apparently this is considered misuse of services. No warning. No recourse.

Hello @UPS_UK I'm waiting for a parcel which was scheduled for 2 days ago. Didn't arrive then, or yesterday, but this morning the tracking says "delivery attempted" at 9.06am when I was literally sat next to the front door. Can your depot call me again, like last time?

I would call you, but when I use your live chat it gives me an American phone number.
Busting out my best catalogue pose for @TheMMD_ and his range of beautiful merch. Can't wait for the Screaming Cowboy underpants.

I solved today's Redactle (#43) in 11 guesses with an accuracy of 72.73%. Played at redactle.com/
Hello @UPS_UK I had a scheduled delivery today. An hour after the window, the driver reported "the collection wasn't ready". A) it wasn't a collection and B) nobody even came to the house. I called your service centre, they promised a callback. Didn't happen.

So I check tracking and now it says I've rescheduled the pickup. It isn't a collection! It's a delivery that you must have hold of, as you've charged me import duty and extortionate "brokerage fees" for. How can you get this so wrong?

Aaah, the issue magnifies. Now I've had an email with a delivery date, and time, today. "Track the delivery" it helpfully says. Click tracking "Unable to provide delivery date" Schrödinger's parcel, this. Both out for delivery, and stuck in your warehouse.
