@HayHawthorne @BasedSquatch What even a synthetic fire retardant material?

@Councillorsuzie The lack of intellect in this thread is astounding, people commenting about stuff they clearly know nothing about. The same people who shouldn’t be anywhere on the road or behind the wheel of a car.

@peterrhague Abolish income tax and replace it with a land value tax. The more land you occupy the more tax you have to pay. It will ensure this finite resource is utilised in the most efficient way.

@HouseOfCrypto3 With the amount of over leveraged positions that have now been liquidated , not once but twice in less than a few weeks, where’s the capacity going to come from to drive these bull market? Just curious

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@EastLondonVelo Yea I remember making that face, a few times yesterday. Hard but great fun. Cheers guys 👍

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail Just tried topping up, and guess what it doesn’t work, error message “Oops something is not right” well it’s your whole IT and ticketing system that’s not right!!!

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@EastLondonVelo @tommyambulance Well done chaps 👍

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail @robmcc68 Getting a ticket on this line is like the 8th wonder of the world.

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail Is there a problem with the smart card system again, tried loading at Laindon this morning and not working?

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail what’s happening with the smart card system. Again today it’s not loading on the card and despite funds paid I’m asked to buy a more expensive daily ticket and not to mention have to queue up because there are not enough machines or people. It’s not on!!!!

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail Talking of tickets, what is it with your joke of a smart card system. Managed to eventually buy online but now can’t load it.
Was then asked to purchase a ticket at the station despite already shelling out.

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail Yes I have been affected, all I need to know is when will it get sorted and if not can I have my money back.
I just wish there was another way into London. If you were a supermarket you’d be out of business!!!

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail when are you going to sort out these smart cards. This is starting to get quite annoying.
Especially when you have to que to buy a ticket and then miss the train subsequently making you late for work!!!

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail I’m not so sure, failed to work today despite buying top up yesterday. Was asked to buy a ticket which made me miss my train. Also this loyalty business, when do we actually get to use the points earned? System needs a thorough review if you ask me.

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail Surely this will actually make travelling tomorrow more risky with a reduced service, packed platforms and lots of people crammed into trains. As others have said the forecast is not predicting heavy snow. It’s a shambles.

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail 8:34 from Laindon pulling out at 8:33. What’s that all about??

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail This still isn't fixed, how are people supposed to top up their smartcards?

[Colin Ward @Col_d_Tourmalet]

@c2c_Rail still can't top up my smart card so having to buy day ticket, and to top it off train cancelled and then overcrowding, poor!!
