Keith is delivering you new phone between 10.46 and 11.46 today! … or not. At 18.45, having waited in all day on one of the loveliest days of the year so far, my daughter is still waiting. Hopeless service from #DPD

I would ask you to please repost the below message as I would really like as many of you to visit the Gallery before it’s closed. It’s my great pride and joy especially seeing school kids amazed at the bravery of these fantastic VCs..
Sad for me. I’ve got this from the Imperial War Museums closing the Lord Ashcroft Gallery displaying around 200 VC’s representing the finest deeds of servicemen in UK’s history. Sadly into storage for the time being and my £5m cost to open lost. Please visit before closing…

Train delayed so long my evening gets cancelled, but no refund from @thetrainline because of the cost of admin. So nice profit for them and all costs shunted off onto me. Great way of doing business #ripoff

Interesting to see the Chancellor react favourably to campaigning by the @CBItweets and @The_IoD - this is something the #artmarket needs to consider in supporting lobbying, especially through the British Art Market Federation #Budget2024
