@The_RHS v. disappointed membership. You took over £100 out of our account in June, no membership card in sight (19 July) You keep promoting 3 months free to new members. effectively we r paying 4 non existing membership at an inflated price w/ no benefits. 1/2

2/2 If the cards miraculously appear in the next few days @The_RHS then we have paid £113 for 11 months membership! Loyalty surely counts? Is it not cheaper to retain members than keep finding new ones? Not impressed…

What’s happening with my money? Consider twice when buying a mobile from @vintedUK @vinted. Had bid accepted 8 Feb 2025. Nothing turned up yet and no sign of a refund after reporting and repeatedly requesting. What a waste of my time. #PoorService #vinted

Closing the kitchen @premierinn in Kennington Oxford at 8.30pm is useless for a guests who have worked a full day!

What a disappointment @prestigeflowers were yesterday. The were nearly bone dry, the roses bashed w/ brown petals. Chrysanthemums were crushed. What a disappointment for my wife’s birthday.

A tale of woe with @Uber @UberUKsupport last night. After one booking cancelled the next ride decided to take the scenic route… why take the A3 when you need the A22. Add 40 mins to your ride and take no notice of your passenger trying to explain the route is way off!

What @Uber is going on? I booked a car from a charity awards event for 11.30 at a hotel on Park Lane. Your driver parked @ one exit I came out the other w/ case & luggage. Got to your driver @ 11.39 by my phone. You cancelled the car & charged me nearly £40 saying is was 11.42!..

So now I’m in another @Uber and he has gone 40mins in the wrong direction. I told him he needed go via Croydon and down the a22 but he went via Putney and a3 blaming his sat nav. Now on the m25 when there was no need 😡 not happy

Why did you not confirm which exit I was coming out of? Why not txt me where you where parked with a poor signal and loud music a phone call is pointless @Uber

After getting through twice and queuing for of 4 hours in total this has been a total waste of my time today. So very disappointed for my children who wanted to see this show. Your system crashed more thank 4/5 times and am totally frustrated.
UPDATE: Please note that Matilda has now sold out due to the high demand of tickets. Please speak to our team if you would like help choosing an alternative show.

Sadly after two hours and four attempts to book #oltkidsweek tkts I’ve been spat out again. Now I have a wait time of One 1/2hours after I was first on the site at 10am. The moment I fear my kids have been waiting for has gone! 😩😡

Just a note to say that Kids Week is an extremely popular promotion which sees at least 20,000 people on our website when on sale goes live. Please remember to be kind, our team are working tirelessly to ensure everyone is able to experience theatre for less.

Great to meet @TheSheepGame today at @natsheep North Sheep. Cammy has chosen to support @RABIcharity and @RSABI through the sale of his designed rugby shirt - what a hero! Huge thanks to him for his support & idea behind raising awareness and funds around mental health 🌾💚🐑
