Drop off charges at UK airports - what’s your thoughts? Airports around the world offer free time to drop off but UK airports increase fees at up to 25%.

@marksugar @ReadingFC I understand that change is never straightforward but most loyalty schemes are based on spend. The question is what % will it really impact, what % will buy the top tier. If it’s 1% then is it not an issue if it’s 90% then it’s an issue for the 10%. So I get it but is it an issue

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@garybembridge The main issue is the poor implementation if the app was ready as it should have been the pre application should have removed some of the bottleneck. Having said that it’s not all European airports either. Go be prepared and have a great holiday.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@SimonCalder This is not about the volume of Brits it’s about the incompetence of Europe in implementing a half decent system that works around the world. If the App had been ready for pre registration then things may have been different. Just about poor implementation.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@TheDesKelly This is simply down to dreadful implementation by the EU if the app had been delivered as promised if the machines had been stress tested fully, if they had managed the roll out even remotely better this would not be like this. Brexit or not border controls work around the world.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@MikeJPretzel Simply down to the system implementation being totally crap. the app which was supposed to have been launched prior to system starting not happening. This is plain and simply nothing but poor management and dreadful implementation.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@SimonCalder @TheBTAorg had been fighting these outrageous and unjust charges for years, the UK stands loud and proud as the drop off charge capital of the world. Submitted a case to the CMA & we need a sustained campaign to drive change!

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@BBCBreaking Jeez and there was me thinking we were already in chaos!

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@afneil Interesting timing. Seriously you think she would want to show she paid the fine to set an example for us to show that everyone who lusts after power in our political classes isn’t devious & self serving. Do none of them have any moral compass or even a modicum of self awareness?

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@BethRigby And what point does he remember this is about the country and not him. For the love of god man, be a true leader and make that decision for the greater good.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@YvetteCooperMP A true leader is defined not by seizing power but by what they do when holding it becomes uncomfortable. Stop listening and the mandate erodes. Simple as that.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@Keir_Starmer A mandate is not a blank cheque. It is conditional. Public servant. Two words. Both matter. When you have lost the dressing room, put the country before the ego. We deserve better. We should demand it.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

Just my opinion.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@SimonCalder Not sure that’s strictly true Simon, if fuel does run short and that’s not a certainty, it will be based on loads, yield and connectivity. Consolidation just as likely to happen on a LGW/PMI as LHR/FRA.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@ReadingFC Hate jumping on the bandwagon but I can’t watch much more of this turgid football. Equally don’t like asking for someone to lose their job but time to cut Leam loose and get someone who has high energy attacking beliefs and start building for next season.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@reading_buses @ReadingFC can someone tell me if Mereoak park & ride is open & available for the game tomorrow. For the last home game it was not available to park in.

[Clive Wratten @Clivewratten]

@ramy_abousetta Got to be honest the supporters were struggling more but they stayed..

@readingfclens Same in any businesses if you move jobs you bring those who you know and trust if they will come and create your new team around them. The rest of the team are new to you as a new boss so you create your culture by osmosis. New blood will come when the time and culture is right.
