Hi @DVLAgovuk received a letter from you which is totally incorrect, spoke to an agent (polite and friendly) who raised a case but can take up to 3 weeks, totallly absurd given its not my error, impacting my life, this is ridiculous!! Surely something can be done??!

Don't worry @DVLAgovuk I'll do the leg work to get this resolved, keep ignoring me on here... a situation that has nothing to do with me and I'm not at fault but hey I'll just have to wait for "process" 🙄 no escalation path, nice people who can't help so i just have to accept it

Hospitality is united that #VATsTheProblem. A new sector-wide campaign, spearheaded by @ChefTomKerridge, is calling for hospitality VAT to be reduced from 20% to 10%.
Hospitality pays too much tax, and VAT is the single biggest lever the Government can pull to support the sector. Sign the petition today 👇

Hi @GWRHelp any danger your driver or train manager on the 19:48 Paddington to Swansea train would let us know why we're going so slow and indeed give us an update? Not much to ask really.

Unbelievable @bt_uk @EE 6 weeks without broadband due to massive incompetency from @WeAreOpenreach known fault, so much wasted time by engineers, promises missed, if I was this rubbish in my job I'd be sacked! Oh and still no guarantee I'll have broadband back this week! Fuming!

Oh my word @GWRHelp do you ever think it would be possible for you to run a train on time?? On the 19:48 paddingto-Bristol parkway, crawling along, no comms from driver, just suck and see again I guess! No reason ever given, can't actually remember my last on time service!

Worst ever customer service from @bt_uk 2hrs on a call, 4 different people, last chap asked the same security quotations again and the systems didn't recognise me so we couldn't go any further. Shambolic service, 2 days wasted and still no broadband, 2024 apparently!

@GWRHelp hi there, why is the 19:18 train Paddington to Bristol Parkway running so slowly and late? Driver not giving any info and according to Trainline we're now 15 mins late. Communication is everything! As per GWR, never on time and never explain 🤦♂️

And we're going slower and slower...... nothing from train staff, no explanation as per..... @GWRHelp reassuringly expensive for utterly rubbish service!

A true comedy legend, I used to listen to his routines on tape as a kid, his timing was impeccable and I laugh as much now as I did then. Rest well Bob.
Bob Newhart, the genteel but sharply satirical comic whose TV series “The Bob Newhart Show” and “Newhart” were huge hits throughout the 1970s and ’80s, died Thursday in Los Angeles. He was 94.
