Yet another disrupted train journey when travelling from Cardiff to west wales. Once again booted out at Camarthen. @tfwrail really need to sort this / the service is not fit for purpose. It's just #easiertodrive. @BBCRadioWales @ITVWales


We too were charged 110 euros last week by @Ryanair after trying to book in online for 2 days before flight and speaking to customer services. @eDreams gave us the wrong info, @ryanaire refused to correct the mistake. @BBC_HaveYourSay bbc.com/news/business -66500479. #ripoff


Really sorry to hear this - Jen was not only a really nice lady but she also was a pioneering force in the Welsh jazz scene - she will not be forgotten. theguardian.com/music/2023/jun…

Timothy J. Keller, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, friend, pastor, and scholar died this morning at home. Dad waited until he was alone with Mom. She kissed him on the forehead and he breathed his last breath. We take comfort in some of his last words...

Is this a hoax or something? Really....

3/3 Our house is also very cold because we have bare concrete floors. In short - we are so disappointed with the service we have received and will be seeking compensation. In the meantime - we await to see when our carpets will actually be fitted.@carpetright
