We've been taken for suckers, but not by the Dutch, the French and the Germans but by those closer to home.

We're back on Monday. No bookings. No noodles. Just loads of fresh beer.

So I’m looking at #thameswater’s Customer Charter. “We make a difference to your world”. You certainly do. The sewage of London sits in my basement for the third time in 16 years. My world turned upside down. And #thameswater washes its hands of it.
No point talking to @thameswater, after blocked main sewer has flooded my home with contaminated water. #thameswater denies any responsibility, will not attend to pump out nasty grey water sitting in basement kitchen. I’ve paid water rates on time for 25 years. #CustomerService
(or we need to train our civil servants up as gaming designers)... moving and importing and exporting goods is about having the right cards in your hand for going up a level, @mrjamesob. Ineptitude, yes.
You see @mrjamesob, listening to your current guest, talking about moving goods with the new regulations in place since Brexit, we’ve got the wrong people implementing Brexit. We don’t need Civil Servants we need gaming or board game designers...
Yes, a well directed stakeholder mapping exercise indeed.
Well this is absolutely incredible.
Phasing out new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030 would boost jobs across the UK. @BorisJohnson we need a green recovery - please act now to support a sustainable transport system #FastTrackTo2030
Inspiring Asian adventures @HairyBikers. Was already shaping plan to go with my daughter in 2024 to jointly celebrate 65 and 25 birthdays. We both love cooking Asian food so a pilgrimage like yours. I’ve lived in China & Taiwan and speak ok Chinese. Now to do a bit by motorbike.

Every single student arriving at Eton College last week was tested. Someone might like to ask him why...
Here’s the full clip of Jacob Rees-Mogg saying people speaking out about the difficulty of getting a Covid test should stop the “endless carping”.

Start of another week where @PanoramicDoorUK fails to pick up the phone, their #CustomerService fails to make appointment to complete installation. I’m left with a hole in my wall, since May 19th visit when they came without all the correct parts needed. #takenthemoneyandrun
6 months & counting! #needhelp. Still waiting for installation started January 21st to be completed. Pandemic aside, that’s incredibly bad #customerservice. Miserable chasing @PanoramicDoorUK. pick up my calls, return my emails. You demand money up front then couldn’t care less.
40 million unemployed Americans. Months of isolation after a botched pandemic response. A hated president who actively antagonizes hurt and angry people who just watched another black man murdered by police. America is a powder keg with an arsonist in the White House.

12 June 1929 | 90 years ago Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt. In 1942 on her 13th birthday she received an empty diary. She died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. 'Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.' #AnneFrank #Anne90 #RT

Black comedy for adults copes with disability, serious illness, aching loneliness, and (it) even makes authentic gallows humour out of the universal fear of death... johnmurraywritinginkythnos.w… #peterkay #phoenixnights #johnsparkes #comedy
How to feed stray cats. johnmurraywritinginkythnos.w… A comic novelist living on an unusual Greek island tries to make some sense of the world he knows and doesn't know. #Kythnos #Greece #straycats
