Two things @AmazonUK 1. Your algorithm is linking wildlife nature guides with felt animals! 2. £833 in the sale doesn’t feel like a bargain.

Dear @LNER please do not ask me to review any aspect of my journey today. I allowed 1hr 30 m from arrival at St Pancras to departure Kings X as I am booked on a specific train. I know you warned me but I should be sitting in the lounge sipping coffee not shivering on a bench.

Trump says US never asked Nato for anything and got nothing in return. Will be very offensive to Nato allies who fought with US in Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11

Dear @LNER when did 10.00 am become Lunchtime? Just boarded the 10.40 Durham to London King’s Cross and was looking forward to a late breakfast, maybe an avocado muffin or a bacon roll. But no, in LNER world 10.50 is lunch/evening menu time. Really? #disappointed #hungry

You just know you are over paying for a watch repair when the jeweller offers you coffee.

On a train running over 200 minutes late, why do they say that rather than 3 hours 20 minutes late? On the positive side I am only running 60 minutes late and I have a ticket valid on any carrier, so no penalty fare. #YorktoDurham @LNER @CrossCountryUK

Shout out to the staff on the much delayed @CrossCountryUK train from York to Glasgow. Sorting arrangements for passengers travelling beyond Edinburgh, arranging hot drinks in the ‘extra train’ connected to the set. Doing so with politeness and good humour, thank you.

Ok @networkrail it’s 4.20 am, what are you doing on the lines approaching Durham Station at the moment? Emergency repairs? This amount of overnight noise without prior notice is not acceptable.

Come on @dpd_deliveryUK_ . All looking good until 16.10 - to allow an hour grace. But still no news from App or Depot! Hope James is ok.

Finally 2 things happened at the same time. I got a call purporting to be from @dpd_deliveryUK_ and my parcel arrived. Offered compensation over the phone but it involved giving information & downloading an app I didn’t know. Probably legit but I didn’t want to take the risk

So kind of the Philippines office of DWP to message me about my eligibility for Winter Fuel Payment. Wrong on so many levels. #ScamAlert
