@SimonCalder @simon @easyJet @easyjet I’ve already done that.

@SimonCalder Exactly the same happened to us in Lisbon on Friday. Cost us £1.5k to get home.@Simon Calder @easyJet

easyJet left 122 Manchester-bound passengers behind at Milan due to EU entry-exit system passport control delays. It's said the 34 people on board had pretended to be on London flights. One stranded family spent £1,600 on new flights; easyJet refund: £20. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@Katrina39037687 @JoyRupert Ditto. Us too.

@JoyRupert We are in the same boat headed back to Edinburgh. Joined the huge queue as soon as our gate (44B) was announced, waited in queue for 2 hours. Spoke to multiple ground crew who basically said “nothing I can do”. Has cost us £1000 to get back to Edinburgh. Absolute incompetence.

Complete chaos at Lisbon airport. Loads of people missing flights despite arriving hours in advance because of insanely long queues to passport control. No one seems to be in control or to have any idea what to do.

My daughter ordered Mother’s Day flowers from @prestigeflowers. What she ordered versus what I received!

@marcwhufc @AskNationwide Glad it’s not just me. App not working.

@AskNationwide @awalsh777 It’s not working as normal all your customers on here can’t be wrong. Been trying all morning to access my account

@AskNationwide are you services down?

@jillwebb2005 @7Bigmouth7 Fantastic article Jill, some really interesting stories. Thanks for the polls, it was fun (although I’m gutted Story of the Blues didn’t quite make it through)!!!

It’s here folks! The #1982singlespoll blog post is online! A massive thank you to everyone who contributed. kindredspiritfanzine.blogspot.com/2025/12/1982-s… Wishing you a very happy healthy and peaceful 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣💥🥂

@jillwebb2005 @petewylie every time for me. Fav song of all time.

It was an impromptu decision to cram in a best of the runners up poll before the end of 2025. All 3 songs from the 1981 poll were voted out tonight. Here’s the second set of polls. The top 2 go forward. 1/2 1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣8️⃣ Buzzcocks 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣0️⃣ The Specials 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣2️⃣ WAH!

@jillwebb2005 Momentarily conflicted, Blondie are my fav band, but the magnificence of Story of the Blues…

I’m squeezing in one last batch of polls before the end of the year to decide the overall best of the runners up from all 4 polls I’ve run in 2025. 3/3 - Top 2 go forward. 1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣8️⃣ Blondie 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣0️⃣ The Beat 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣1️⃣ The Jam 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣2️⃣ WAH!

@jillwebb2005 Story of the Blues every time.

We’re now into round 11 of the #1982singlespoll Just 6 songs remain. Which 4 will be heading for the semifinals tomorrow? There are 2 polls tonight. The top 2 from each go forward. 1 - WAH! 2 - The Jam 3 - The Stranglers

@jillwebb2005 Wah! Story of the Blues. No contest. 43 years on and still my fav song. I love the power and defiance of it. By contrast the melancholy Say Hello Wave Goodbye would be my 2nd choice

Here’s the 2nd batch of songs in round 10 of the #1982singlespoll There is just 1 poll tonight and sorry… but only the top 2 of the 4 songs can go through. I know it will be tough again but here goes… 1 - Soft Cell 2 - Simple Minds 3 - Wah! 4 - Tears for Fears

@Banksy668 @British_Airways I shouldn’t bother. They try to find a way to wriggle out of any claim.

@British_Airways Your level of service has been absolutely terrible. I’ve just been sat on a flight for 4 hours, which was meant to be going to Dubai and now it’s been cancelled and everyone offloaded. I would like to speak to someone and formally complain.

@British_Airways I followed your link and sent you details but I got a bot. I give up .

@awalsh777 Hi Alison. If you've paid to select a seat and we cancel the flight and you don't pay to re-select a seat on a new rebooked flight, you're entitled to a refund of the paid seating fee: britishairways.com/content/inform…. Can you tell us more about why this was refused? Claire twitter.com/messages/compo…

It’s always remarkable to me how airlines operate as if nobody at their airline has ever flown on a plane. @British_Airways is truly the worst airline I’ve ever flown with.

I urge everyone to share this post. Disgusting treatment by @waitrose My daughter Sadie Travis used to work with this young man, who is a lovely lad. He deserves better. Shame on Waitrose🤬

@RoyalMailHelp hi I’ve had a text from this address purporting to be you. Is it a scam? lnytb41975@outlook.com

@VirginAtlantic It was a multi centre trip. It can’t have gone from being available every day with different flight option times, to not being available any day within 12 hours. Good to know if it’s a website issue or if I should try another airline. Thx.

@awalsh777 Sorry to hear this, Alison! Was this a package holiday you were looking at? ^Amy

@VirginAtlantic is your website having problems. Was looking at a holiday last night with lots of options but today no availability on any date at all?

@LightningFibre Hi, not quite im afraid. One gentlemen did sign up a customer during the silence (admittedly that conversation started at 10:59) but they chatted loudly and laughed with them throughout the silence. The other approached 2 gentlemen standing on the concourse during the silence.

@LightningFibre very disrespectful behaviour at Brighton Station. During 2 min silence for Armistice Day your reps were approaching people during the silence. Bad form.
