So, Student Loan Company, you continue to charge interest at 7.9% on outstanding balances whilst not allowing folk to pay off their balance due to 'system issues' which have been going on for over a week. Will you do the decent thing and waive the interest you are still charging?

A city seldom sees the magnitude and tragedy last week's fire. Over 90 Charlotte firefighters spent hours controlling a 5-alarm fire at a construction site. The radio communication you’ll hear in this video only partially relays the dramatic intensity of Thursday, May 18, 2023.

What is going on with @firstdirect ? Unable to log on, and call centre unable to help. Massive system crash? Looks like it. "Call back in 24 hrs" I was told. Not great service @firstdirecthelp

Staying warm this Winter Solstice means practicing fire safety. Space heaters, wood stoves and fireplaces are all great ideas until an accident happens. ​​​​​​​Keep at least one metre distance between your heat source and anything that will burn. #HolidayFireSafety
