Oops - thank you Whohas - we've fixed the title now

Monday 19 September at 2pm is the correct date and time.

Tbh with in-demand webchat guests we don't always get a lot of choice. We tend to steer them towards lunchtimes as that's when we have most traffic to the site and generally guest prefer working hours, but often we have to take what they can give us. Sorry if it doesn't suit all.

Hi all,

Can we remind you all of our webchat guidelines please?

Obviously you're free to voice your opinion, but do be civil/polite - please afford our guests the same cordiality you would if they stopped by your own house. There are loads of Qs so please bear with, we're trying to get through as many as possible.

Thank you!

Pretty sure it's user/chat name if you want to be in the prize draw please slug (will come back and correct myself if this is wrong!)

Apologies - basically it doesn't hugely matter whether you use your user name or RL name - it's your email address that we'll use to do the prize draw, so if you want to be in that make sure you stick your email address in.

We do yes, and we try to encourage people to have a read through and arrive with some pre-prepared ones.

We also know that school run isn't the best time - apologies for that (do fill in the webchat survey as we ask about what times would suit you best)

To be fair in this case the guest is in the final days of a campaign and is operating on a very tight schedule. This can often be the case tbh - the more 'current' the issue or guest, the less time they have to dedicate to preparing and the less wiggle room we have on time. (Not always the case, but not unusual either.)

V sorry also to everyone pissed off about the biscuit question in the survey - there's an 'other' box in which you can state very clearly that you want the biscuit question to GO AWAY
