My sister passed away nearly two years ago but I am struggling to get British Gas to accept she is dead. Since her death in July 2023 I have emailed, called and even got the legal firm handling probate to contact it. They sent a certified copy of her death certificate but all that happened was the address on the account was changed to the solicitor’s. Bills and promotions addressed to her continue to be sent to the email I set up to manage her affairs when she was first taken ill.

At the start of this year I tried to book our accommodation in Zurich on my phone via Booking.com.

I called the hotel straight away and it promised to ring me back.

Some Britons flying to Scandinavia this summer risk being turned away at the gate if they are travelling on an older passport due to the “inconsistent” application of Schengen travel rules, it has emerged. The Guardian was contacted by a British artist who was denied boarding by the airline Norwegian because her passport was issued “more than nine years and nine months ago”. She was due to fly from Gatwick airport to Copenhagen.
