Today’s @EvriDeliveryCom: doorstep drop without a knock, then an Olympic sprint down the driveway. Customer service, please explain. #Poordelivery

@fbunational This is not what I expect from the FBU. The more you focus on political actions supporting the Labour Party rather than addressing the immediate concerns affecting firefighters here and now, the more I question my membership.

@adamjamesgee24 @edfenergy Very poor customer service all round from @edfenergy I don't think I will be switching to them any time soon. Steer well clear along with Scottish Power. What ever happened to good quality customer service?

[Adam James Gee @adamjamesgee24]

@edfenergy people need to know about unresolved complaint 0811891676. Your new account system resulting in both debt and credit being lost/overlooked. Sending me a final notice for an account I can’t even see and was set up to pay via direct debit.

[Reform UK @reformparty_uk]

Seen the rise in the number of Barber shops everywhere?

Many of them are fronts for money laundering.

Only Reform UK will investigate this racket, and close them down. Here's @ticerichard.

Singapore's President...

Our politicians could learn a lot from Singapore including their attitude towards Wokeness.

He really does nail it here.

Must be a refreshing society to live in.

An astonishing exchange with Rebecca Knox, Chair of Dorset & Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Authority.

Lee: What unfair advantages do white people have in your force?

Knox: None.

Lee: Then how can it be institutionally racist?

Knox: Um…sorry…I might need to get back to you.

Someone posted this on Facebook...so true!

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It's time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money?
Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges....
And we all know what we think of Bankers.

I hope this goes around the UK at least 1,000,000,000 times!!!

YOU can help it get there!

[The Secret Firefighter UK @TheSecretFF999]

Incident in Belgium on the 30th of October 2023 with another near miss involving a lithium battery (this one was a Hybrid Vehicle with Lithium Battery involved).

This is why I’m a big advocate of further training, and national guidance on this subject, not because I’m against EV’s but because I’m against crews not being aware of risks present.

If we arrive at a vehicle like this, our primary focus needs to be on the potential for a vapour cloud explosion, vapour cloud ignition or battery explosion as that will be our primary risk.

If safe to do so, one of the best tactics can often (if ignition or thermal event is present) be to allow a controlled burn, also remember TICs can be great for identifying potential issues with an EV battery, however the vapour cloud can prevent the TIC from being effective (Gas Detectors also great prior to thermal event to detect early stages).

Whilst these types of events with cars are extremely rare, they are happening more and more frequently with light electric vehicles such as e-bikes and e-scooters etc.

For more information on this type of incident, there’s some great resources available on https://t.co/gpjtKy8plc or by searching Professor Paul Christensen on YouTube.
