@hselftax @scriptwren My daughter is currently on the Illustration course at Portsmouth. Small cohorts in each year which she is happy with as she gets overwhelmed with big groups at times. She is loving the course and gets on very well with the lecturers

@scriptwren Sorry to hear that. Might Portsmouth be worth a look? port.ac.uk/about-us/struc…

My daughter just got rejected from Brighton to do illustration due to her portfolio. I’m so gutted for her. She’s had such a hard trot of things and she is 20 in October, we can’t afford to send her to London where she has offers. She had only just come round to going to Brighton

@calummMcfaden Sent me a link to download LemFi app and then told me to put in the password that they provided! This rang alarm bells. Apparently, they wanted to provide me compensation for the problem I had had! Told them that I didn't think that they were EE and wasn't going to continue

⁦@EE⁩ I have just nearly been scammed by this site. they have picked up on my issue and asked me to DM. They then tried to get me to download a payment app and provided me with a password. Realised it was wrong, questioned them and hung up. They need blocking!

@HelpLine036_ I just want to speak to a real person at EE - how difficult it that?

@HelpLine036_ I have just had a phone call from someone wanting to help with this issue. He wanted me to download the LemFi app for compensation. When I questioned this he backed away and hung up. I cannot believe this is genuine.

@EE how do I talk to a human? Want to set up a plan on PAYG but website doesn't work when adding a card. Ring 150 and there is no option to buy a plan with rolling DD. So frustrating, this should be easy!

@EE I have done this and there is no way to get through to an agent! Lots of choices, but no option to speak to someone

This must be making things difficult for sure. We'd love to chance to put this right. Please give us another call on 150 from an EE mobile or 07953 966 150 from any other phone, and hopefully we turn this around for you.For more ways to contact us please see this link 👉 ee.co.uk/help/contact-ee

@BrittanyFerries please can you explain why it is going to cost me 50% of what I have already paid for 3 people for a return journey in July to add an one extra person. We are not even booking an extra cabin!

@iamstreety @taskmaster Yes, we are stuck too!

Does everyone have 07367 072564 for the number to call on #Day5 of the #taskmaster advent calendar? The number isn't working... @taskmaster

@TheSnowDreamer Had a Facebook memory today about this day 15 years ago about having to get my car recovered because it froze up after getting stuck in the snow on the hill and then being stuck out in the snow in Suffolk in temps which reached around -10c.

On this day 15 years ago many places experienced one of coldest December afternoons on record. The high temperature was -2.3C at London Heathrow. December 2010 would become the coldest December on record at this site (1948-present).

@RoyalMail sent a parcel last week (signed for, 1st class) tracking number does not register on your website. Why would this be the case?

@ohhanxiety Hilda

@BrittanyFerries Trying to book journeys for July next year but am unable to create an account. Keep getting error message (see photo). Have tried different platforms. Worried that I won’t get options which I want because of this

@CTAUK1 Can anyone recommend where I can source some replacement seats for a Citroen Relay minibus.

@GWRHelp Please can you help with how to reclaim taxi expenses. Online it says to contact Customer Services, but I am not sure then which section to message through as it is now very clear. Thank you

@WhoGivesACrapTP Ordered compost bags which arrived today in a huge box. Not overly eco friendly.

@TheSnowDreamer Just had a few rain showers as we have arrived in Jersey. Lots of sharp storms coming over from France

Brightening up a little in London but it seems temporary. A rash of heavy showers including thunderstorms have broken out off Dorset-Hampshire coast. These are tracking towards London arriving in perhaps just over an hours time. I do not believe any model showed such developments.

@AshValeCommuter We used to use power line but it could not cope with the distance

@alibutler I'm tempted to run cable myself. The powerline networking is good, but there's quite a loss in speed.

You know you're a techie when you've got high speed internet throughout the house, even right at the end of your garden!

@AshValeCommuter I have run CAT6 down the length of our garden so that we have decent internet/wifi in our garden shed for the PS5 etc.

Considering I don't have a landline or fibre connection (I've got a 5G router), and that's gone through powerline repeaters on different electricity circuits at opposite ends of the house, it's a very decent speed.
