Hey @Cleevely_Mobile, I've just spotted cleevelymobile.co.uk is down - is someone on the case?

Hi @DunelmService, You’ve sent me an email advising a date you’re going to deliver my order - but we’ll not be in. How can I pick an alternative date? Your website lists a whole host of options but none of them are “let me pick another date” - I’ve looked everywhere.

Hey @MetroBank_Help is there a known issue with your sign-up process right now? My wife and both ran into this (on different devices) on Friday, and trying to resume the application today is no better. We resume the application process and soon run into this...

I wrote a @AmazonUK review explaining it was fake to warn other unsuspecting users. It contained no offensive language, only an accurate description of the issue and a screenshot of the failed tests. This morning that review was rejected for not meeting community standards.
Replying to @AmazonUK
@AmazonUK What’s the process for warning you and other consumers about dangerous/fake goods being sold on Amazon? I bought a USB stick advertised as 982GB, tested it and discovered it’s a fake device with a small amount of storage that throws away data over around 20GB.

It gets even worse. No wonder these type of fake products continue to be sold on Amazon. Buyer beware. You can’t get nearly 1TB or genuine usable flash storage for £12. Despite what @AmazonUK @AmazonHelp claim. 🤦‍♂️

Hi @OctopusEnergy, I’m not getting any Agile Outgoing rates today and it seems I’m not alone. Are you aware of the issue?

Morning @OctopusEnergy! Could you please pass on a virtual high five (or eight?!) to your engineer Andy J who replaced my gas smart meter yesterday? Andy was absolutely awesome from start to finish, going above and beyond to provide us with a neat and tidy meter installation.

Great AI use-case
I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner. I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.

Is it standard practice now for @Avis to charge you a higher price when you collect a car than is stated in the reservation? It happened to me in August in Barcelona, and having just checked my reservation for Gibraltar tomorrow that’s gone up too. WTF?!

Hmmmm... @airconwithme seems to be having issues. AC units all working fine and can reach them via WiFi but Airconwithme app fails to read correct data and won't control them. Cloud service down?

A lovey couple of days at @TheFishHotel. Huge thanks to @OctopusEV for making it happen, and to Harvey for correctly guessing how many Constantines were stuffed in a Honda E at @FullyChargedShw
