As a #writer and #creator this is a hugely important moment. Great to see #EltonJohn supporting those of us way down the financial food chain, as we can’t afford to tackle this alone. #artificialintelligence #ai GOV.UK Keir Starmer bbc.com/news/articles/…

Warning: Shocking treatment by ripoff Thrifty Car Rental at #Alicante airport. We refused expensive Supercover, which was okay to pay for by debit card. They refused my credit card offer as booking was in my partner’s name. He doesn’t own a credit card. €93 booking trebled to €300.

It’s not often you discover a new #brand that you instantly love. We flew with Volotea down to Alicante yesterday. Super polite staff, fab interior, reclining seats, great legroom. No wonder it’s the fastest growing budget #airline in EU. Bringing dignity back to air travel!

Update on Thrifty Car Rental sting at Aeropuerto Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández - 4 days on & still no resolution to being charged more than 200% by desk clerks. They’ve asked for bkg details & even my phone number. Haven’t called me. 1,000 of travellers hit by this trick. Unsafe brand - DON’T HIRE FROM THEM.

Re our previous posts about Thrifty Car Rental forcing its max insurance on us - we had the reply below, but then, later, an email saying our T&Cs are clear - no refund. It's own rules mean if you don't own a credit card DO NOT book with thrifty - it will cost you a fortune. #scam

Badly behaving #brand suffers a double hit. Despite trying to resolve our unfair 300% price hike from Thrifty Car Rental, the brand says 'no'. As someone who loves good brands, the way we've been treated by them now damages Hertz so we can't use EITHER brand again. We travel a lot!

So you’ll still be able to smoke on the terraces of bars and cafes in #France - where children are NEVER ever present right? Mmm! #francesmokingban

So here we are nearly two weeks later & despite the tweets offering help Thrifty Car Rental & Hertz have done nothing to refund us. #Rentjustright is really #Rentjustwrong. These are #brands we want to love & have supported for decades, but they have seriously let us down. #carhire

If you’re hiring a car don’t use Thrifty Car Rental or Hertz until you’ve read this… #carhire #carrental #hertz #thrifty. We’ve tried hard to resolve our case, but the brand goes silent

Such a shame this bitter presenter uses his podcast called ‘Things We Like’, to talk about things and people he loathes. Crikey! His health woes are a shame, but what we put out there is often revisited upon us. We know he doesn’t like a lot of his old colleagues. Get over it.

So #strangerthings, #sense8, #Wednesday, #Umbrellaacademy, etc… so many great shows that used to make Netflix fab. I miss them, not a gamer fan and desperate for good new mystery/drama/spooky thing. #EntertainmentNews #tv

Blimey - surely this shouldn’t happen to Eurostar trains, given the huge amount of money this monopoly charges people to use its trains! It really needs to up its game, like now. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

As a trained #journalist and editor with more than 32 years experience I’m baffled as to how he is qualified to lead the nation’s most powerful #media institution. For me it’s like asking a Post Office clerk to pilot a long haul BA flight. Not a safe choice IMHO. BBC
