@TheSecretFF999 @louiewellfareSM @PrincessNutnut1 The Brigade that employs them doesn't value them highly enough to train and develop them further than they are.

@Qantas I have been on an international call now, to YOUR help line for 49 minutes trying to talk to someone who can refund MY MONEY. And yet, there is no one available. @Qantas you are an utter joke! This isn't good business!

@Qantas, so I booked my flight from Heathrow to Brisbane via Perth with you almost a year ago. You then, with 1 days notice, cancelled my flight and moved it to a different day. Now you are telling me that I have to wait a month for a refund. You are a joke!

@Qantas It now turns out @Qantas dont even have a complaints team, you have to fill out a form where someone might get back to you if they can be bothered. Utterly shambolic business practices @Qantas

@dean1wg Contact the Tower, amd watch (rather than take part) in a Ceremony of The Keys and then into the Yeoman Warders pub. Or, contact Peachy and get the PSI bar opened up at the HAC.

@dean1wg Dean, how many going? The CWR are restricted to a certsin amount as the rooms themselves are small. Same with HMS Belfast. You could look at the Imperial War Museum, much larger, and you may be able to get something WG specific laid on as well. Then, contact the Tower...
