I’m constrained by my work as to what I can say on here, but I have to say the @DVLAgovuk Webchat service exceeded my expectations in terms of speed of response and results. Highly recommended.

.@British_Airways my 11:00 flight from Heathrow today was showing delayed, but is now showing ‘on time’ in my app?

Thank you @British_Airways. Perfect flight, on time arrival, no undue delay for bags. Please keep it up.

I have this, probably unrealistic, fantasy that my @British_Airways flight will one day depart on time. Today, the crew were delayed going through security, and the cargo loading machine broke down! You couldn’t make it up, except sometimes you think, maybe they are making it up!

Someone from The Migration Observatory, Oxford University, being asked on @BBCr4today what the latest immigration figures are likely to show: “It depends on the direction of travel…” Quite!

New @British_Airways website: Doesn’t recognise your Executive Club status, even when you’re logged in, so you can’t book seats. When you go back after completing the booking, it won’t let you change seats. No ‘Add flights to my calendar’ function. Great improvement! 🙄

Dear young, attractive female followers who I’ve never heard of. I’m gay and I don’t give money to anyone I don’t know, except through a registered charity. With much love. Brian

ℹ️ | We are seeing lots of videos being shared online that were filmed at previous protests or during previous incidents. There has been no disorder in London this weekend and the videos are likely being shared to mislead or to fuel tension.

Just watched ‘Lost Boys and Fairies’ @BBCiPlayer - I wished someone had warned me! I’m in bits. Petter chose ‘Mad World’ to be played it at his funeral. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know. If you haven’t seen it, you should.

My father was a Major in the Royal Tank regiment in WWII. I’ve shed tears watching the scenes commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Now I’m angry. I don’t want to be angry. I want to be proud, grateful, in awe of the sacrifices made by so many. Focus on the good.

Had a heart MRI scan at @GSTTnhs today. The technician said they’d got some good pictures…hopefully of my heart!

Long time ago, because I was so lonely, I ended up in an abusive relationship. Lonely again, I’m struggling not to allow emotion to overcome reason. Be with someone because you want to be, not because you need to be, otherwise you may make compromises you should never make. 🌈
