@MetaforBusiness Hi - my Instagram and Facebook shops have been stuck 'in review' for weeks now. All my products are approved and synced with my Shopify store and I've already run ad campaigns with Meta. I cannot get hold of anyone to help move this forward. Can you help?

@HMRCcustomers Thanks Steve. That seems to have done the trick. Although I had no idea that was available to me

HMRC Customer Support@HMRCcustomers·12 Haz

@JamesAll You'll need to contact the helpline for that then, gov.uk/government/org… Have you tried to contact webchat? Select the Ask HMRC Online link, then ask the Digital Assistant for an adviser. Steve

@HMRCcustomers Good morning my request for self assessment repayment has been outstanding since 10th April 2024. I've not been advised of any security checks being required. I can't get hold of anyone to check on progress. Can you help or advise?

English

James Allan@JamesAll·12 Haz

@HMRCcustomers No it's showing as 'in credit' on the app despite me submitting a refund request. I don't want to send another request as apparently this restarts the whole process. There's no other way of checking the status.

HMRC Customer Support@HMRCcustomers·10 Haz

@JamesAll Hi James, Does the refund show as pending? Steve

Be really honest about who your customers are, then be equally honest about who might understand them.

In light of the stupidity of WPP CEO Mark Read's recent remarks, I'm posting a talk I did last year. Excerpt: "People over 50 are creative enough to dominate the Nobels, Pulitzers, Oscars, & Emmys but not creative enough to write a fucking banner ad." bit.ly/3lyhWke

@cmogle 'Twas always thus. Car retailers generally pay sales people badly, train badly and have high churn of young inexperienced staff, incentivised to sell you stuff you don't really want. It destroys brand equity and costs manufacturers a fortune in lost sales and goodwill.

Has anyone actually succeeded in purchasing a car from Land Rover? This is the third time I have been in one of their UK showrooms in 8 years and - as always - nobody wants to sell me a car.

When I tell agencies and brands they should be falling over themselves to hire older people (or, as I like to call us, 'experts') because our experience makes your business so much more creative, time- and cost-effective - THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. Hire @georget20 NOW! #LiveOlder

@cindygallop @AdContrarian @adage Enjoyed and agreed with your article @cindygallop but @adage programmatic served up their '40 under 40' publicity plus a cure for varicose veins in Chinese before I finished it...I wish I was joking.

@AdContrarian Too bloody right. 'We don't aspire to be young; young people aspire to us.' @adage adage.com/article/opinio… #LiveOlder #SayYourAge

This is a perfect example of what's wrong. People over 50 don't want well-designed walkers and canes. They want surfboards, nice cars, nice clothes, good food, computers, furniture, and headphones, just like everyone else.

@georget20 So much technology, so little help. Great article.

I hope my MP @jakeberry can lend support to this early day motion to help small limited companies overlooked for Coronavirus financial support during lockdown. #2MillionReasonsWhy #forgottenLTD

@OpenreachHelp I just want to shout out one of your engineers (Douglas) who fixed my elderly parent's fibre broadband connection in Bexhill today. He was helpful, polite and above all sorted the problem so we can video call again. A big thank you.

This feels very pertinent right now. Humans (sometimes known as consumers...) haven’t changed much so old school brand planning skills are more valuable than ever. lnkd.in/eJDceGD

If you run a consumer brand with national scale and reach, basically, this.
