@Barclaycard Used the app this morning to check my pin but card declined when making a transaction (have a zero balance, so plenty of credit). Now card no longer showing on the app and online login not working. Tried calling but got cut off and now you’re closed till Tuesday!

@SouthernRailUK Would have made it had we not sat at Forest Hill for 5 mins. Got to Croydon and they shut the doors on us….after waiting 25 mins at Farringdon for *any* train. Madness given the value of a 30min+ delay claim for that many people on a £60 tkt instead of waiting an extra 60 secs!

@Engineer_Ria Hi Victoria, very sorry for the delays to your journey this evening. Unfortunately this train is running substantially delayed, so it might not arrive in time to make the connection at East Croydon. ^Van

@SouthernRailUK @TLRailUK Delays and cancellations between Farringdon and Croydon have really messed up the connections for anyone trying to get to the Arun Valley. Is the delayed 2009 ZFD to Gatwick going to make the 2053 Portsmouth train at Croydon?

@SouthernRailUK Thanks - I will do. It’s even more galling as I arrived at the station early, checked it was on time and then went to get coffee. Once we realised, the driver locked the doors just as we got there! When even the boards in the station are wrong, we don’t stand a chance.

I'm afraid, due to a failure of signalling, we were unable to advertise that this was going to be changed in advance. I can absolutely understand how frustrating this is, and I can only apologise. If you'd like to submit a formal complaint, you can do so here: southernrailway.com/help-and-suppo… You can also claim Delay Repay compensation if you're delayed by 15 minutes or more at your destination, here: southernrailway.com/help-and-suppo… ^Will S

@SouthernRailUK So are timetables really just ‘guidelines’ now? I appreciate sometimes circumstances mean that trains are late but given this is the *only* direct London Bridge service it’s pretty abysmal that a signaller can just think ‘hey, nobody needs to get to work today…’

@Engineer_Ria Hi there Victoria, I'm afraid this was a decision made by the signaller. I apologise for the inconvenience. ^Will S

@lzmddngs We’re upgrading our 1960s house. Our 20yo boiler is 92% efficient which means about 9.6kwh/litre or (at av 75p a litre) 7.6p/kWh. Unless we get PVs or a battery to charge overnight, we’re struggling to justify the move to ASHP in £ terms.

Hi @SouthernRailUK - the OBS on the 2100-ish from Horsham to Bognor has made the entire train smile. Please give him a pay rise! (and we love the bow tie :) )

So proud of our team’s work to create this stunning transformation, which still celebrates the original house.

As a testimony to the power of #renovation, Leighton House has been a constant source of fascination among visitors since reopening last year. Last week, the former home-turned-museum originally belonging to Lord Leighton, received a royal visit from HRH King Charles III.

When you need replacement hi-vis... (worth noting that 'Unisex' tends to just mean 'we couldn't be bothered to classify it as mens')

@Lynn_Nothegger I recently bought a cocktail dress with pockets and people have actually come up to me at events *just* to comment on the magic of pockets. Who knew they were the icebreaker we were all missing?

@modernistestate A shame as Breaking and Entering wasn't the best film...but was a bit of a love letter to Rowley Way if I remember rightly? (Was about 15 yrs ago, mind!)

These three were very happy to see us on the school run this morning and came trotting over. Less enthusiastic when they realised we weren’t the ones who feed them 😂 @FishersFarmPark
