jamesrbuk This is funny when you think it’s a tweet, then just gets grimmer as you realised it’s a thread. Then downright bleak when you realise it’s not a short thread. twitter.com/visakanv/statu…

@AskLloydsBank Eventually, yes thanks. 32 minutes to authorise a debit card for Apple Pay, with 31 of them spent listing to ringing and “Please stay on the line. We’ll be with you as soon as we can.” Not great.

@hayles Fuck. Just got disconnected and put through to another one, and that one’s asking how my weekend is going, too. *Declares war on chat*
Actually, support chat agent, I would rather you just fixed my problem than ask me how my weekend is going. It’s gone eight on a Saturday evening and I’m in a text chat with Microsoft. How do you *think* my weekend is going?

ASPolice Motorists are advised that The Portway in Bristol is currently closed while emergency services respond to reports someone has fallen from the Clifton Suspension Bridge/Gorge area. We’ll update you when we can but in the meantime please be patient and use alternative routes.
Oh. The police have closed the Portway. That would explain the traffic. #bristol
