Sorry to say that doesn't surprise me. One of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had!

I had exactly the same experience a couple of months ago. And then several more furious hours of chat over the following weeks, as my departure seemed not to affect their continued billing in any way.

A specifically modern curse: spend weeks battling with a service provider over a final bill, and telling anyone who'll listen that they're either incompetent or scammers, then settle in for months of sponsored ads from the same company

Watched the White Lotus episode with the snakes in it last night and I haven't thought about snakes in ages, but now I'm going to be thinking about them all the time

I demand that the publishers put that on the cover for the next reprint

Just got a sponsored Insta ad for some sort of book club and it was a fit lad in a tight top so I clicked through. He opens one post by saying he's going to look at two "quirky but interesting" books, and the first one was... 1984 by George Orwell? 😅😅😅

Poland to bloody win #Eurovision

Spain is the one song so far that's got everybody going here, let me tell you. Lithuania too dreary even for the emos #Eurovision

Our local bar has got #Eurovision on the big screen in the front and an emo gig in the venue at the back; the crossover of punters is AMAZING

OK we just saw the new Final Destination in an IMAX and NOW I've never felt more alive. Hard to believe there'll be any more fun than that to be had in a cinema in 2025

I'm at TGI Fridays, on a Friday. I've never felt so alive.

My other half has got a bet on Malta to win but I fear they're serving Can't #eurovision

I am interested in Parg's lucky ring #Eurovision

Yes they're doing great! Happiness all round 🙂

We bloody love it

Sadly I've never mastered the Macarena

I joined the Oops Up, like any other normal person would #notlondon

Milton Keynes update: I'm at a 70th birthday party in a sports club and the DJ has just played three Abba songs in a row ❤️

Yes alright Kirsty, we've moved to a nice bit I'll have you know! And yes, of course ❤️

I enjoy London tap water so not sure!

I'm currently to-and-froing between Bicester, where I've taken our cats to stay with my sister for the week, and Milton Keynes, where we're about to get the keys to our new house

Signs I am not in London any more:

- Got called 'my love' by the server in a coffee shop (❤️)
- A man at a bus stop offered useful information without being asked (!)
- Bus driver said good morning (!!) and didn't need to see my ticket ('Yeah as long as you've bought one') (!!!)

I tried to tell my barber it was the last time I'd see him as I'm moving out of London this week. "Hahaha!" he said. "Yes. You like cricket?" It's the most we've spoken in ten years.

Just moisturised after having a bath and got a 'Face Not Recognised' from my iPhone, the SHADE

Amazon are out of control

The Tesco Express on our road has reopened after a few weeks' refurbishment. From what I can see they've turned the staff tills enclosure into a sort of fortress. And the eggs are in a different place. Contactless wasn't working, but otherwise a triumph #triumph

Stacey has now lost BOTH her husbands to the remorseless architecture of the Queen Vic during live episodes. If I was her I'd take a nice holiday next time #EastEnders #EELive

Linda: Why not just toss a coin?
Denise (firmly) No. (Turns to camera) The viewers have voted!
