Enjoying #Byrdle, but didn't understand the answer? Then this thread is for you! Each day, I'll add to this thread with the answer to the previous Byrdle, and (where applicable) an exciting fact. (Don't know what this is about? It's this: rbrignall.github.io/byrdle/) 0/∞

Byrdle - the choral-themed word guessing game

Guess the choral-themed word in 6 tries. A new puzzle is available each day.

Philip Augar says: "Labour’s recent decision to allow a small increase in university tuition fees in England to £9,535 [...] sent a signal that the government is listening to the sector." ...yet the NI levy on Universities will dwarf this extra income! theguardian.com/commentisfre….

UK universities are in crisis – and Labour has taken the first step towards saving them | Philip...

The government is making welcome moves to overhaul a sector in financial turmoil, but institutions face tough choices, says financial expert Philip Augar

Who remembers when you opened payslips by carefully tearing off the edges? Today, I was sent a video explaining how to access my (electronic) payslip, with troubleshooting tips when it doesn't work. This is not progress.

So, @BritishGas, we must now add "didn't actually process the refund" to your list of transgressions. The screenshot below is from 2nd October. Do you want to sort this, or is it going to take a formal complaint?

Replying to @BritishGas
@BritishGas I'm really, really disappointed with you today. A month ago, I paid and booked an engineer to service our boiler, scheduled for today. All ready, waiting at home this morning. Nobody comes. Then, a text message saying they couldn't get access. We're inside! 1/3

We call customer services. Wait 30 minutes for a call back. Apparently engineer couldn't find our house. We're on a main road. Apparently engineer tried to phone us. We've no record of any call attempt. Phone person makes 1 attempt to call engineer, but can't get through. 2/3

No further attempts to contact engineer offered or made. Instead, they simply offer to rebook. For... <drum roll> FEBRUARY 2025. I arranged this service to ensure our boiler is safe and working efficiently through the winter. I'll have my money back, please. 3/3
