Oh, and do you know what the worst thing is? We were customers of @eonenergyuk for more than 16 years. And this is how they treated us. Loyalty counts for nothing. Nothing.

Initially @eonenergyuk agreed to settle our bank charges and interest but now have retracted that, offering just £10 as gesture of goodwill and nothing for the massive distress and inconvenience we suffered whilst in the middle of mortgage applications. #stunned #avoid 2/2
One morning in late October, I woke up to find that @eonenergyuk had helped itself to over £5000 from our account. No bill, no warning, nothing, plunging us £4000 over our overdraft limit. Turns out they overcharged us by >£2k! 1/2
There’s not much that fills the hearts of lawyers with as much joy as the headline “The Government Is Preparing to Rush Through Legislation to...” complete sentence as appropriate. #beanfeast

Am sitting in a swish hipster-populated bar/café waiting for a client. The PA is playing Public Enemy - and of all tracks, ‘Don’t Believe the Hype’. I can’t decide if it’s ironic or especially acute social comment. But the coffee is good...

Unfortunately there’s a lot of fluff and nonsense & far too much sitting about talking about hustle & how everybody is crushing it & nothing like enough focus on the harsh realities of life as a business owner. As a result, many of the advantages we once had have dissipated.

Love this counter play to the influencer culture: travel.nine.com.au/2019/04/0… Remember, if the influencer contacts you, s/he’s not as influential as s/he says. The only influencers worth having are those that you have to find.
