@WOOLWORTHS_SA long and very slow Q at this counter in V&A Waterfront to be told “you can’t return here”. Make it make sense.

@paullewismoney But Dubai is a pretty horrible place Super expensive And I have yoghurts in my fridge with more culture No freedom or democracy So choose. Is it better for you? Or just better for your money?

It's bizarre isn't it. Dubai has no income tax, usually no CGT, no inheritance tax and 5% VAT. Surely if you wanted to live there for tax reasons you would have done it already? Does a rise in CGT on shares and IHT on farmland and pensions really tip the balance?

The trickle’s becoming a flood. I’ve just come off a call from yet another entrepreneur who’s leaving the UK and heading to Dubai permanently in March. It’s estimated that 10,000 millionaires will leave this year - that’s a lot of tax that won’t be paid here now.

.@capetownint utter mess trying to leave parkade 2. Crazy long Q due to machines not working. Staff just staring at people. You need to open the booms and let people out.

After a short break for #Eurovision, the #WorldCup of holidays is back! Group E has some serious fan favourites, I expect the SA crew to get the nation out voting... Keep the photos coming, we must all have some snaps from Spain right? #holidays #heatwave

Pathetic service from @WOOLWORTHS_SA Dash waiting 2 hours to call to say they simply won’t be delivering. And they have no plan. Tough luck.

@YesReallyAngel Yeah… I’m trying to sell something… they almost obsessively “point out” the most obscure “disclosures” to potential buyers… “at night no light comes in from the windows” or “when it rains the roof is wet” and then cannot understand why buyers run away and they don’t sell.

Trying to buy my first property ever. And let me tell you. Every estate agent I’ve dealt with has left me PROFOUNDLY underwhelmed. Why do these people not want to make money?

@daverade Reminds me of the customer next to me asking the guy packing the fridge at Woolies why the Ayrshire milk is more expensive than the other milk. Answer: “because those cows sleep under duvets”. Brilliant.

I was at Woolies earlier in the Frozen Food section which is colder than a dead eskimo's fart. They had these whole frozen chicken, and i wanted one for a family dinner. I asked the shop attendant "Do they get any bigger?" He replied with a straight face "No, they're dead" 🤣

@Uber_Support Guys, I want you to say that no driver will ever be allowed to pick up anyone with a car with hardly any petrol and a flat tyre. And that you take full accountability for any driver doing so. That’s what you should say.
