@swindonadver Crikey the words ‘slow news day’ spring to mind!

This lady ate a surface-to-air missile, sustained a 12-14 G rocket-propelled ejection, likely hit the ground at 15+ miles per hour… And then she popped up smiling at the locals who came to help her. Tell me again that women don’t belong in combat.

Practice makes perfect ⚽️🔥@forza_goal

@HSBC_UK @HSBC_UK I don’t want to discuss my specific case - I want to know if 8 days for an existing customer is your target in this digital age. Except it’s now (at least) 9, as no card today either. When I opened with @monzo it was pretty much same day.

@Matt_kav Hi Matt, I do apologise for how long the process to get your credit card has taken, if I could ask you to please DM us and I can have a look into this for you. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@HSBC_UK I applied for a cc, 4 days later you sent an agreement which I signed. 3 days later a text saying cc approved. 2 days later, nowt received. Assuming it comes tomorrow that’s 8 calendar days from me applying to me transacting. Is this honestly banking in the digital era?

Oh it gets better.. it’s day 8 and I’ve got an email saying ‘card is on its way’. Why must I have a physical card in this digital age in order to transact? #slowservice #financialservices #hsbccomplaint

Is it time to ban parents from junior grassroots football ? YES!   ENOUGH IS ENOUGH   In what other sport or any part of society would it be normal and accepted to have thousands of children exposed to abusive adults every weekend. You would get arrested if you started screaming abuse at kids in public anywhere else.   Abuse against referees and players gets worse every season, parents abusing other parents, every week we all see the horror stories.  Walk around any football pitch on a Sunday and you will be lucky if don’t witness bad language and aggressive behaviour in front of kids within a couple of minutes.   The leagues don’t care, the FA don’t care, most of the time offences are not even reported because everyone knows nothing will happen, it’s a joke. In the 2025 reprint of the Accidental Manager were added a chapter which talks about the utter frustration in dealing with the FA, the complete refusal to do anything whilst claiming they have ‘robust measures’ in place, does a single person involved in junior football believe this?   In the absence of any improvement for decades now and without any commitment or indication these matters will be every be taken seriously, we believe it is time to ban parents from football.  In many sports parents drop their children off and leave them to it, why has football got to be different? Until such a time parents can be trusted (which is not going to be anytime soon), why don’t we finally and genuinely let the children play.   We know many parents don’t cause problems and would be very unhappy about not being able to watch their child play but far too many parents simply cannot be trusted - children have to be the priority – finally.   Not sure what other people think, as with all things football, it will firmly split opinion……

@castle_quay the 2nd year I have berthed overnight and hoped to use your fancy hookup points. Once again I’ve downloaded the app only to be told there’s a fault with all of them. Genuinely interested in your avg service availability metrics plz, as for me it’s currently 0%.

@swindonadver I’ll nip down to toys r us and mcilroys then.

Pls share. The new PPI? HUGE announcement from @theFCA this morning that has gone totally under the radar. It may mean a pay-out for millions who bought a car/van on Motor Finance before 2021. I’ve done back of the envelope numbers and at the top end this could be PPI type scale (that was £40bn), big enough to be a form of Quantitative easing (so real consequences for the next govt as it’ll likely take a year). It is to look at the handling of complaints about commissions when people got motor finance (pre 2021). Two big Ombudsman cases revealed today indicate that firms are falsely rejecting complaints and the FCA is now to do a full review of complaint handling. The FCA wouldn’t do this unless it was likely to find they were doing it wrong. So my suspicion is when it finishes its investigation it will (in order of likelihood) set up either a) A redress scheme where it orders all the firms to pay redress to every effected customer even if they've not complained. b) Redress rules where it orders them to pay out redress based on a set formula, to those that complain The pay out would be either the interest on loans (which is big), the commission (which is big), or the whole loan (which is huge). We're possibly talking thousands back for many. Clearly this means getting complaints in if you were mis-sold is going to be crucial especially if they choose scheme b) and there is a cut off involved. It should be noted part of the announcement is the FCA has put a freeze on firms handling complaints for now, so if you complain now they don’t have to do anything, but my provisional thoughts are it is worth people who think they’ve been mis-sold getting in a complaint now as a marker. So my team and I will be working on a full guide on how to do that which we’ll have out in the next couple of weeks to talk you through this step-by-step. Please watch this space and share with people who may have been impacted.

@swindonadver Not relevant to Swindon. Next.

@NandosUK What more details do you require?

@Matt_kav Hey Matt, please drop us a DM so we can help

@NandosUK any idea what happened to the rest of my starter? £60 for a meal on a Friday night, not exactly living up to the pictures on the app is it. And is there a national shortage on your famous slaw?

@myenergiuk is it a possible setup to have a zappi powered off a few solar panels but without a solar battery? I only have a PHEV so 13.8kw battery, so not a full EV-sized battery.

@swindonadver Searched high and low in this article to see why it’s relevant to Swindon. Turns out - who’d have guessed - it’s not. When did journalism resort to simply scanning social media?
