I convinced @Manonclapham1 to order the justifiably renowned chips with aioli from Toklas for his birthday dessert rather than something sweet. The staff decided to adorn them with a birthday candle. 🤣😂

I know nothing about horse racing, but even I have heard of #GrandNational - the two guys @WilliamHill had absolutely no clue!! (Cheltenham FFS?!?) Went to @Betfred instead. Great service there.

Thanks a lot @Se_Railway !! I’m meant to be attending a funeral in Tunbridge Wells, but I’m stuck at London Bridge station waiting for a train that’s already delayed by more than 15 minutes.

I ordered a salade niçoise for lunch at the Duke of Cambridge in Islington. It came without any tuna. Is it still a niçoise? I say no! The manager didn’t agree. 🤯 I left it.

I am still haunted by the horror of high tea @swanglobe - bad service and more disastrously truly terrible food. The kind that confirms every cliché about bad British food. It was inexcusable on every level (except for the scones). 🤯

Hi @British_Airways trying to cancel my booking for next week but the site keeps telling me the booking number is wrong. But it is the one on the confirmation email. Please help
What a joy to discover that @AlcidesGauto is FOH at the new Toklas restaurant just off the Strand. And the food there is superb. The terrace will be a major magnet during the summer months. 😁

The only really nice thing I can say about my lunch @HotStoneLondon today is that the manager, Paolo, was genuinely and profusely apologetic about it. In fairness, everyone else seemed to be enjoying it, but I don’t recall the last time I had such appalling service.

WTF @thetrainline ?!? I booked a First Class return ticket earlier today to Axminster instead of Exeter (not enough caffeine, I guess), and it’s not refundable?!? Seriously?!? AND I can’t contact customer service because there’s no staff to answer #unhappycustomer

I have a friend with alpacas, the fleeces processor and spinner she usually uses have have shut. She needs 12 fleeces doing and wants them weaving into throws.
Any ideas? Please RT – at Islington, London
