Time to move away from @OctopusEnergy 😔 The £150 annual saving is only £35

@marksandspencer @Aardvarkface How wd the OP know these things? Thats for u to confirm n feed back? 🤷‍♀️

@Aardvarkface I'm sorry to hear about the poor experience you had in store. Are you able to provide more details? If the sale stickers were added accidentally, did the staff remove them before putting them back on the rack? Please contact us via a DM and I'll do my best to help.- Nat

Hey @marksandspencer look at these lovely sale bargains in Rochdale today! Except they’re not! I took one to the till and learnt its full price from a conversation between 2 assistants. No apology. Rude. And a rip off.

@MartinSLewis If he’s done 20 Years he can get a lump sum and part payments from age 40 and then full pension at 60

Just had one of those somewhat depressing reminders of the capriciousness of life. It's absolutely pouring, and I stopped to chat to a homeless chap (who'll remain anonymous), I often pass on my way to work, chat with and help out. He had a friend with him, also homeless, and when he realised it was me, wanted to ask a question... to be honest I wasn't expecting it to be about pension tracing. Turned out he was an ex-soldier, been on the streets a few years, but had lots of jobs in the past, and lots of pensions, including some final salary. We went through how to trace them and how to get help and he took notes. I asked his age, and was disappointed to find he was only 48, so still far away from being able to get succour from the money that is hopefully in those pensions. He was happy though, to know there was a way to find the money he had sitting somewhere. I've been thinking about it since. In a way he has money, but no money and no home. He served our country but now sits huddled under the overhang of a street to keep a bit drier. We discussed shelters and charities that could help, but he was resistant, he didn't like the pressure or mixing in that way. There is no denouement to this post. No stark moral message. I just thought it worth noting.

@AvantiWestCoast @horwich1 What do I take up with them? Lack of train carriages, people taking a seat before me? Trains being canx? Safety and how unsafe it is, lack of working wifi? Not sure they can help, it’s a bigger issue that Avanti need to sort

@Chip440 @horwich1 I'd advise taking this up further with our Customer Resolutions Team. Please go via this link here: railhelp.co.uk/avantiwestcoas… - Becky

Becoming the norm now @AvantiWestCoast 3rd time in a row train to London and no seat !! £121 for no seat

@AvantiWestCoast @horwich1 WiFi rarely works either to send u a message, n seat checking isn’t going to work if someone is in the seat, train canx and unsure what train will get on.

@Chip440 @horwich1 Sorry to hear this, it isn't ideal at all and apologies for if this happens to you frequently. We always try to make sure we can allocate you a seat, but sometimes services can be a lot busier than others. Happy to always check availability for you. - Becky

@AvantiWestCoast @horwich1 Sadly, it is what we expect which is a problem in itself!

@horwich1 I see, apologies that this has happened today, .Zoe. We can appreciate it's not what you expect when travelling with us - Mike

@AuntBessies This black bit in my Aunt Bessie’s roast potato 🥔 😞

Whilst a traditional roast is the favourite in our family, we understand some of you like to push the boat out when it comes to yours…. So come on, tell us! What’s the weirdest thing you have on your roast dinners?🫶 #AuntBessies #RoastDinner

@MartinSLewis Why are the students in England offered such a rubbish deal compared to the other nations, particularly Scotland. Education opportunities shouldn’t be postcode lottery

You’ll be surprised what the Student Loan interest rate really is! How much it really costs, and why you may not pay it…

@RupertMyers @gilescoren We r like a 3rd nation when it comes to reliable transport, and the pricing is shocking. We rarely go south for the same reasons as Giles going north.

Column of the day @gilescoren

@leclercsletters Young people can afford a European track but not Vegas or Monaco, he’s not in touch with reality

domenicali about removing imola: "young people don't care whether they watch a race in monaco or las vegas. young people's ability to skim through news and forget who won last year is very high. the history of a circuit is not enough to stay in F1." why is he blaming everything on young people 💀💀 [via @FormulaDirecta]

@JJ_Cousins What a fab way to spend the weekend!

What a day in NY. Closer than we thought! We realised Americans are classless! #RyderCup2025

@thammaeus @piersmorgan Loan him to #salop @shrewsburytown sure playing on his own there wd improve the current performance

@piersmorgan Saka is w a s h e d sadly, we should cash in on him next summer and sell him

@JeremyClarkson As they have for most public sector workers, who in return work for less than National average salaries (for equiv jobs) and often put country before themselves- missing the point, or perhaps a bad example used here

We paid for Angela Rayner’s education. We paid her wages when she worked for the local council. We paid her wages when she became an MP. We even paid the settlement that enabled her to buy a house. Tax payers have funded every aspect of her entire life.

@10DowningStreet What about post 18 options? Too few apprenticeships and expensive universities if in England and wales. So depending where you live will have a detrimental impact on future opportunities, especially for those in rural areas. @JBuckleyLabour

@SimonCalder It’s got to be Birmingham, with the ridiculous queues for security, lack of seating, confusion all round on having to go up and down the lifts, dark and small departures lounge, a wonderful place to be (or perhaps avoid!)

31 August: busiest day of 2025 for Stansted, last of the big 7 airports to mark its peak day. After a high-pressure summer for frontline and backroom airport staff, time to hand out some awards for anything from access to architecture. Your top UK airport? independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@ESPNF1 Driver of the day!

Despite starting from the pit lane, Ollie Bearman recorded his best career finish in F1 🔥

🟠| Oscar Piastri spoke post race after his victory in Suadi, addressing the first lap incident with Max Verstappen: "It was a pretty tough race. Very happy to have won. Made my case into Turn 1, it was tricky to follow - I couldn't stay with Max at the end of the first stint, I chewed up my tyres." "We still need a bit more, Max was a little bit too close for my liking." "Once I got on the inside, I was not coming out of Turn 1 in second. In the end that is what got me the race, so very happy with the work we do on the starts." [ 📷 @SkySports ]
