@SamWeirHE Glad to see the Citroëns are still there. I’ve not been in for a few years but the pub at the end always used to do amazing Thai food out the back.

@SW_Help I appreciate that the mess was caused by thoughtless idiots and not you - but is there a reason why the 7:42 service from WAL to WAT is littered with the excesses of “the night before”? - it clearly hasn’t been cleaned, there are empties everywhere.

@BladeoftheS Also claim Salisbury plain is in the north and spend the HS2 money on it. Basically free then.

@BladeoftheS Hedge. Just plant a dirty great hedge blocking the view from the road and everyone will carry on driving regardless - with the added benefit that those at the henge will also see and hear less road. Significantly quicker and cheaper than a tunnel.

These rumors have just come out about the 2 mile tunnel to be built under Stonehenge. It will cost £100bn, take 20 years to be partially built, and it won't go anywhere. But it will make corrupt Tories insanely rich.

@adrian_ellison @AvantiWestCoast Tish and pish @adrian_ellison! Getting there is so overrated. We can sweat this Victorian infrastructure for at least another century and just leave it to a future generation to sort out (like all our other problems!)

#HS2 can't come soon enough. Trying to get from England's number 1 city (London) this morning to number 2 (Birmingham). @AvantiWestCoast have cancelled my booked train and now I'm sat on some poxy slow train with a change at Nuneaton in order to just get there in time for my mtg.

CX on @BBCr4today - financially illiterate or deliberately misleading?… “halving inflation… that’s not a 1p tax cut that’s a 5p boost in their real disposable income” - absolute rubbish - it is simply a reduced rate of *decrease* in the value of their disposable income.

@easyJet - you appear to have updated your online self-service and now it is not clear how to tell if hold luggage has been booked. Can you tell me where to see this now?

@MicrosoftTeams is there a reason why you have removed the “high” background noise suppression option in #MicrosoftTeamsRooms - it used to work really well. It is now on/off… and “on” leaves a lot to be desired!

@MSFT365Status - is there a problem this morning? Documents are taking a long time to open from sharepoint - often initially failing and requiring multiple browser refreshes. Ditto with Forms.
