@AmazonHelp As I said, I do not wish to make a specific complaint - our concierge said that the driver was young and keen - and delivered a whole bunch of packages correctly to our address. I was just pointing out that their instructions on delivery photos need to be made clearer.

We're sorry to hear that the photo of the delivery wasn't actually of the real delivery location, but in the van. In this case, we'd like to escalate this for you another way. Without providing any personal account details, could you message us directly below? We're standing by to assist you. -Bree

@AmazonUK This blurry photo does not show proof of delivery as it is clearly taken in the van and not at the point of delivery. This time our delivery was intact and correct - had it not been I would make a formal complaint and identify the driver. Please instruct better!

@stephenm68 @NatWest_Help If only I had infinite funds to call upon! 😁

@SarahPlayfair @NatWest_Help That would be your maximum payment 😂

@NatWest_Help Just checked my accounts online and found this notification for my charge card “Your minimum payment is £∞ and is due by 5 May 2026”. You'll be very lucky to find infinite funds in my account - I think you mean zero?

@Stephen74977713 @LPOrchestra Well, their box office, eventually reached via the Friends’ dept, saved the day in the end after a lot of frustration!

@SarahPlayfair @LPOrchestra Oh dear. They obviously don’t want to sell tickets

@LPOrchestra Is there a problem with your booking system/website? I am a member but it is not allowing me to book for the new season and priority booking started at 10.00 today.....

@LPOrchestra Eventually managed to book by phone after contacting Membership office who transferred me to box office team.

@LPOrchestra I also tried ringing but gave up after 20 minutes of "your call is important to us...."

@nfmusic @wigmore_hall I walked home from the Wigmore after the Ferrier semi-finals yesterday - a beautiful early evening - about 40 minutes including through Green Park. Good to stretch my legs after 4 hours in the cramped seats!

Walking from Charing Cross to @wigmore_hall #BlitzSpirit

@hugh_canning @jessicaduchen But better if they allowed more than one day between announcement and priority booking opening (which doesn't seem to be working in the case of the @LPOrchestra, as well)

@jessicaduchen Ha yes - but I’m already thrilled by the prospect of Ed Gardner book-ending the season with War Requiem & Gerontius - inspired casting in both: Romaniw, Clayton, Appl (Britten) Spyres 🥰😍🥰 in the Elgar! 😛😝😜

Um, brilliant timing for both Philharmonia and LPO to put out press releases about their new seasons on the same day as the Proms announcement...

@roseandfriends @larkingrumple The other conductor came on in bare feet for his curtain call.

@larkingrumple I almost googled “Don Wellies conductor” to see who is was..ha ha

First time I’ve seen a conductor don Wellies for the curtain call! 💦 What a fine Turn of the Screw, on an ingenious, versatile – and wet – set by Michael Levine

@hugh_canning @PGilluley And, coincidentally, Donna Anna in the production (by Graham Vick) was Kristine Ciesinski!

@hugh_canning @PGilluley Just to clarify - it was her opera debut (she had already won the Cardiff Singer of the World)!

My favourite Emilia Martys:- Lorna Haywood Elisabeth Söderström Jo Barstow Evelyn Lear Anja Silja Kris Ciesinski RIP 🙏🏼 The one-and-only @MattilaKarita I’m (unofficially) dedicating tonight’s performance to Karita 😈😈😈😀😀😃

@newson_gillian @PGilluley @GeorgeHallMusic @rbo_org @HrusaJakub @StundyteAusrine @TheStage @PNinian Me, too!

@PGilluley @GeorgeHallMusic @rbo_org @HrusaJakub @StundyteAusrine @TheStage @PNinian Friday there too !

Tonight at the @RBO_org Katie Mitchell opens her new staging of Janáček’s The Makropulos Case with company music director @HrusaJakub conducting. @StundyteAusrine sings the title role: other leads include Heather Engebretson, Sean Pannikar & Johan Reuter. I'm there for @TheStage.

@roseandfriends I was there this afternoon and loved it!

Blackheath Halls Community Opera continues to be one of the great miracles. 19 years since we started, Iphigenie en Tauride masterfully and lovingly done, a wonderful supportive audience and just the best thing for music and these people..wow.

@TomElwin Yes, it is extraordinary! My friend Aidan Lang was directing the Ring Cycle in the beautiful Teatro Amazonas there, so I went for that and went out and about in the days in between the shows, into the rainforest, up and down the Amazon and tributaries. A fantastic experience!

@SarahPlayfair Just looked up Manaus, what an incredible part of Brazil to visit.

Jumped into this beautiful pool, under a waterfall, in Pirenopolis, Brazil. Only to be stopped from climbing out until I sang something…

@TfL Why are number 185 buses not stopping at the temporary bus stop (going south) at Neathouse Place SW1? Two 185s (not full) went straight past this evening while nos 2 and 36 are stopping here.

@VictoriaCoren I got the other three lines so didn’t have to think about this one and still don’t really get it! 🙄

How do they get AWAY with this? I mean, however American your accent might be, PRUSSIAN?!
