@EDI_Airport Words escape me! Go to Gate 2 the board said. We get to Gate 2 and it then says go to Gate 28, which I know is a bus to plane gate. Walking there I fully expected to be bussed back to Gate 2!! Narrator: Michael was right!

Just arrived back @EDI_Airport ! They have found another way of being utterly useless! Locked in at domestic arrivals! You’ve got to admire their creativity 👏🏻

Chalk another one on to the list of examples of contemptuous customer service by @EDI_Airport

P.S. my wife has landed from PHL into EDI this morning and is still waiting for her bags, over 2 hours after landing!

@EDI_Airport The curse of a late flight to Edinburgh strikes. Not a remote stand this time, quite the contrary. Luxury of a stand at the terminal building…whats that?….theres a digger blocking the door so we need to get a bus to the terminal that is less than 10m away!!! 👏🏻

@British_Airways Why do you repeatedly get passengers to gates at Heathrow and then announce that you’re waiting for the crew to arrive from an incoming flight! You must know where the crew are coming in from and their time of arrival!! It is becoming a habit!!

@British_Airways How can you say the flight is on time when you know the air crew is running significantly late?

Three things are certain in life…..death, taxes and a complete disregard for the customer by @EDI_Airport Thanks once again for your commitment to not giving a toss about customer service!

Please RT. Let’s get this scumbags face everywhere.
The Devon & Somerset Staghounds gunman who shot the young stag after his cruel gang chased him for miles to collapse. His father shot a stag last year with a sab in line of fire. Today he barged into a sab while holding a loaded gun in the same singleminded desperation to kill

The game of guess the @EDI_Airport arrival delay continues…..was it? 1) No one to turn on the guidance system, 2) No one to work the air bridge, 3) No steps, 4) No buses, 5) No ground crew, 6) Other……..answers on a tweet……(Clue - it’s more than one of the multiple choices)

Here’s the answer…..No Steps, No Ground Crew and Other (92 minutes from landing to collecting our bags) Great environmentally focused work by @EDI_Airport to encourage people to fly less!

@British_Airways I understand weather is outside of your control but customer service is not! I queued for 90 mins after my flight was cancelled to then overhear someone say I can book a hotel myself and claim it back! Why is no one walking the line and telling people that? Poor

Now I’ve just had to go through Passport Control even though I’ve gone nowhere! No staff around to ease the process!! You are casting people adrift and there is no sign of BA staff anywhere!! Contemptuous service!

Of all the words written about the catastrophe of the past week, this letter in the FT sums it up best of all. And it’s worse than we might have thought.

Spurs Twitter: Conte would absolutely lay Tuchel out! Chelsea Twitter: Tuchel would absolutely lay Conte out! Don’t really care either way! What matters is we’ve got 4 more points out of the Saints and Chelsea games than we did last season!

Great start to the season. At one down it never felt like we wouldn’t win…..an alien feeling for a Spurs fan! Kulusevski and Romero are absolute top drawer! COYS💙#spurs

@easyJet really rolling out the red carpet today! Boarding delayed whilst we wait for cabin crew to arrive. Quite appropriate ‘FU’ registration on our plane!!!

Comfortable 3 points today, helped by the Leicester team selection. Son’s second goal looked magnificent in the flesh, can’t wait to see it from every angle on the telly box!! COYS #SPURS #COYS
