@TLRailUK It’s immensely frustrating. And you really DO need it in a route where there are no barriers at either end, if you catch my drift.

Hi @TLRailUK. Any idea why I can buy E:tickets to travel via Trainline but not your own app? It only offers collect at station. Any ideas why? Been happening for three days now.

After nearly 10 years, 5,000 miles, many awesome journeys, countless laughs, endless oil drips, a bit of paint, numerous scraped knuckles, three house moves, two breakdowns and a thousand insults - the joke is over. The Sierra is off to a new home today. It’s been fun!

Getting ready for you @Toyotauk - can you get ready with my next sticker please? #HighMileClub

[Jalopy UK @JalopyUK]

@mikesaunders @LeeroyBrown01 42. But thanks sweetheart. xx

My twenty-four year old Toyota has one of the simplest but best features ever. Heated Mirrors!

Check this out. -2 this morning and solid ice on the glass. 😍

@ChrisReevo Let's be honest, Ipswich have been fucking woeful over the past month. Even a bunch of pissed up kids could have beaten them. And yet...

Hi @TLRailUK - I’ve been sat at FPK for an hour and a half trying to get to Baldock. Very poor communication and no assistance to get me home. No water being offered either. Please advise at what stage you will provide alternative transport, as nothing on offer gets me home

@PistonBroker He’ll be rattling the tin soon enough, and that gullible chap will be running another crowdfunder or five

@HighwaysEAST Someone just call the police and be done with it. Say there’s a medical emergency. They’ll have the released traffic out. This a fucking embarrassment @bedspolice @roadpoliceBCH

[Jalopy UK @JalopyUK]

@HighwaysEAST You need to drag the fucking thing out of the way with your teeth if necessary. You have people stuck in cars for four hours ffs. This is appalling and you should all be utterly fucking ashamed.

🚨 Avoid the A421 near Roxton 🚨

I’ve been stuck here for FOUR hours with no clear updates or diversion signs. If you’re heading this way, do NOT use this route — you’ll be trapped with no end in sight.

@NationalHways @bedspolice @letstalkcentral — urgent comms are needed. People deserve better than to be left stranded on a Saturday afternoon.

@BBC3CR it’s not 50 mins .. we’ve been stuck here for over four hours along many others.

To anyone already on the road: expect long delays. Bring water, snacks, a blanket, a mobile toilet and a sense of humour — you’ll need it.

Please share to help others avoid this mess. #NationalHighways #HellishTrafficManagement #BlackCatRoundabout

@Shazna_Muzammil @NationalHways @bedspolice @letstalkcentral It’s a shit show. So sorry you’re stuck too.

GCSE exams begin today. I’m still chuckling to myself about this personalised card I made featuring @JeremyClarkson for my son.

Stay positive and, remember, exams don’t really matter eh, Jeremy 😬

[Jalopy UK @JalopyUK]

@IainDale @theJeremyVine I’m not sure he speaks for all cyclists, or represents an official cycling body? I like you a lot, Iain, but unless I’ve missed something this is quite an odd outburst.

[Jalopy UK @JalopyUK]

If you were thinking about taking one last look at @dobbies in Huntingdon - then don’t bother. So many happy memories of going there over the years, reduced to this. What a dreadful experience. Just close doors already. @huntspost @BBCCambs

@mikestockmusic Weirdly, I've never taken well to being told "Give us your money" and how this is MY problem when the dude's worth over £100,000,000.00

[Jalopy UK @JalopyUK]

@MrJamesMay Went to the delightful Yorkshire Grey in W1 and I was disappointed not to find it’s now £7.49 a pint.

[Jalopy UK @JalopyUK]

@SueSuezep Many don’t work at all, and that’s also fine. They’re paying twice - leave them ve!

[Jalopy UK @JalopyUK]

@philipnolan1 @mark_gummer The same thought crossed my mind too, though. Do you state prices in USD?

I'm not sure it's exceptionalism, just using real - everyday language for communication. 🤷🏻‍♂️
