This is pretty poor @santanderuk. Trying to notify you of a death. What's the problem with the submission? What number do we call you on? Could there be any less information here?

Not sure what’s going on in Reading town today, I think it’s to do with the Uni’s 100th, but it looks and sounds great.

Such a shame that @ReadingCouncil put up this lovely mural only so it can never be seen as it's always a car park.

I’m sorry I don’t understand. Are you saying the direct train from Reading to Leeds stops running after 25/1?

I've been tracking my @rememberthemilk stats over the 15 years I have been using it, and the number of tasks completed has dropped away over the last few years as I headed towards retirement. Still as useful as ever, just not for work-related tasks any more.

Just been out to collect my parents and found that the flag shaggers have been out in Lower Earley over night. Because the idiots can’t get long enough ladders the flags always look like they are flying at half mast 😂 They can fuck off and happy Christmas to everyone else!

Hey @substack your job ad in the console is very pretty. Maybe get one of the new hires to fix the "Persona SDK not loaded" errors everytime you press the "Verify age" button? Errors on both Chrome and Firefox.

.@reading_buses You need to sort out the signs on the Marketplace MA stop. This says it’s closed 2nd&3rd October and yet buses are sailing by it. I know the app says otherwise but that’s really not good enough.

@restisents your survey form doesn’t work. You have to choose from the dropdown even if you want to offer up an alternative.

Overreach and Virgin Media need to learn a thing or two from the Dutch and start putting more effort into their street cabinets.

I can't believe that this is true @RHSWisley - is it just that the tickets for the September flower show just haven't been loaded yet?

This is why you should test your survey questions. What do you do if you haven't bought any since March 2023 @IpsosUK #isay?
