.@SimonCalder Nearly 250 non US/Canadian passengers including 130 Brits who left Miami on the Azamara Journey on 7 January are about to be deemed overstayers because the ship's manifest failed to upload to the US CBP website.
@azamara are washing their hands of the problem.

Looks like the @IChronicle website has either been hacked, or they've loaded their test data into production. These are nothing to do with me!
The BBC are making out that this is something huge, but it's less than water than each person in Scotland flushing the toilet one EXTRA time EVERY TWO YEARS! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c77z…
The first that anyone impacted knew about this was when we received emails from US Customs & Border Protection warning that we had 10 days left to leave the country.

Just gonna go on record and say that alcohol-free beer is not the drinking equivalent of vaping. In fact it’s basically the opposite when you give it a moment’s thought. Opposing alcohol-free beers seems incredibly dumb.
The @LNER ticket site is not applying group booking savings. 4 adults from SAC to NHD tomorrow (Sunday) Super Off-peak Day Return are priced at £52.40 total.
The correct price available everywhere else is £34.40.
Why should I book with you?

Scottish Sun editorial: If lockdown laws mattered, they mattered for everyone. Welsh CMO Sir Frank Atherton called our story on Dr Calderwood's Covid law breach the "worst of tabloid journalism". Sir Chris Whitty agreed.
What arrogance.What snobbery. What elitism. What hypocrisy
EXCL: UK's Chief Medical Officers including Chris Whitty secretly rallied behind Scotland’s disgraced CMO after she flouted lockdown laws. Catherine Calderwood also boasted she’d try to “ride out” storm over infamous breach thescottishsun.co.uk/news/13…
This would be a straight breach of a Labour Manifesto commitment. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx20…

If dynamic pricing becomes banned, all that will happen is the price will start high and be discounted through sales and special offers until all the tickets are sold.
In the end, people will probably pay more!

If I had £1 for each time this has been displayed this morning, I'd be a rich man! I got as far as verifying credit card payment with a text, and then the ticket site fell over. 🤬

NHS Lothian ENT waiting list...
66 weeks to see a consultant, then another 99 weeks to have a procedure!!
That's three years and nine weeks.
Six weeks WORSE than it was just six months ago.

The BBC still can't stop themselves!
Instead of just condemning Huw Edwards, they write an article that mostly lauds his career! It reads like an obituary would on his successes and achievements.

I make it that the SNP has now lost two referendums. Never forget to remind it that it lost the de facto one today

COLUMN: I spent 23 hours in Scotland’s "super hospital" and saw patients stuck on trolleys in corridors overnight, staff at their wits’ end, and a struggling Immediate Assessment Unit (immediate in name only) that Scot Gov ministers vowed to fix 9 yrs ago thescottishsun.co.uk/news/13…
