. @Se_Railway why did the 10.08 Welling train leave at 10.07. A timetable is there for a reason.

.@chilternrailway - family member stuck on train between High Wycombe and Marylebone. Was supposed to have arrived in London at 17.44. What's happening?

As a family we've done very few exams, as the whole system exists purely to make money from gullible parents. I'm proud that we've held out but also rather annoyed that we've still managed to subject ourselves to being fleeced, even if comparatively few times

Music exams are such big business in this country. And utterly ruthless. Paid 100 quid for a Grade 8 exam and lo! @TrinityC_L now charge extra to get a paper certificate. And it's not even clear how much extra as their website is absolutely appallingly complicated.

.@MusicroomOnline - I ordered some items as Xmas presents. The order arrived incomplete. I submitted an enquiry and waited patiently. No response. I called today and your voicemail states the phone lines are closed until 2 Jan. What's happening?

Particularly looking forward to grilling the SEN dept who have made absolutely zero effort to see how my ADHD son has been doing. I'm armed with print outs of their SEN policy from their website, marked up in red.

I'll soon be off to what I expect to be my last ever parents' evening. I'm so glad to be shot of the whole school system. I'd like to say it's been a pleasure but a lot of it has been bloody awful. I've been threatening to dress up as a clown specially for the occasion.

@warwickmaths Pretty shoddy. @uniofwarwick - really no way to treat prospective students.

Now lots of youngsters anxiously waiting to know whether their applications to Warwick (and others) have been in vain. @warwickmaths haven't bothered updating their Maths webpage to say where they've moved the goal posts too and what score is deemed acceptable.

So, kids have jumped through the hoops. Parents forked out £75 for University Admissions Test UK for @warwickmaths (and others) with the truly awful and badly-organised, money-spinning @PearsonVUE . Results of #TMUA now out and everyone seems to have scored lower than expected.

I was congratulating myself on getting a train which left on time but now we're stuck at Waterloo East. This is the 20.55 from Charing X to Welling @Se_Railway - any idea when we might move?

Suspicious lack of trains from Lewisham to Bexleyheath this evening. One that was running late has now disappeared and is replaced with another which is late and getting later which would suggest that might not not exist. Can @Se_Railway advise please?

Utter mess at Birmingham New Street. No information and staff clueless. I have Midland tickets. Are @AvantiWestCoast running ok to Euston? Should we buy new tickets or can we pay the difference?

I really object to finding this at my gym this morning. It's offensive. Ok, dress up and have your fancy dress parties, go trick or treating, carve pumpkins. But can we just have our public spaces left alone? And Halloween is a single night, not a season.

Not only is BBC Young Musician now a bit shit, they've carved up the final and half of it is on between 11 pm and 1 am. They really have killed it, haven't they? What a shame..
