@chrisatyeartist @vickyfoxcroft @thameswater Where’s the scam if all the contact details are genuine? If they lived in the house prior to the meter install, there is no need to ever go “on the meter” it’s only required when you move into a property with one. It was likely installed in the 90’s.

[James Dillon @RootGinger]

@chrisatyeartist @vickyfoxcroft @thameswater I have determined this because it’s rare for a property not to have a meter and the fact that it’s easy to see the letter is genuine. How can it be a scam when it has the genuine web site and email for example?

[James Dillon @RootGinger]

@chrisatyeartist @vickyfoxcroft @thameswater Because she almost certainly has a meter, she’s just not billed off the meter that’s why. Most properties have had one fitted, but if you’ve been living in it a long time you don’t have to be billed from it. This is only enforced when you move into a property with a meter.

@jennyk1977 @Blonde_Nutter Older boxes only series link if the next episode is within 4 weeks.

@YandellChuck @Aidan_Millward It is, no team has fallen foul of it for years. Where teams have failed, it was because of an issue and practice times showed they had the pace so were allowed in, which is part of that rule.

@lfcjq23 It has slowly come to light that the issue was Ed sadly. IF he was so good, he would have picked up another deal elsewhere quickly and had a rival show. It seems like Ed was difficult to work with. You’ll note that his subsequent projects have been short lived and then canned.

@MercedesF1_Hub This has been the case since 2018, it’s nothing new.

@GREEKMASTER99 @formularacers_ It’s a lot different developing a car for long existing regulations than for new ones. Historically, those developing their cars late in the season, before new regulations come in, are behind for the at least a few seasons afterwards.

@LFCMemesFFOTWGT @fiadocsbot Complain to the FIA, not me. I don’t make the rules.

[James Dillon @RootGinger]

@LFCMemesFFOTWGT @fiadocsbot You just have to be above the minimum time, as per the rules. There is no rule on what speed you must be below. So by default, the minimum time the FIA set will set the maximum speed possible between marshall posts. Maybe the FIA set it too high. The time is on the drivers dash.

@MightKRudd3 @DisneyAnimation @Disney Marketing is based on how the film does at previews. If it gets a poor response, they know it’s a flop and will reduce the marketing budget accordingly.

[James Dillon @RootGinger]

@Bigalanh5 @HillF1 It only allows faster cars to be able to pass because of the aero turbulence issue. You rarely see an issue of one car passing and then the following car being able to repass due to them getting DRS the following lap. It’s just reducing the delta required for an overtake.

[James Dillon @RootGinger]

@grumpy_car_nut @F1Media @SkySportsF1 They are not preventing it, they have a contract they paid for before F1 TV existed. It should be noted that F1 chose to extend this contract, after F1 TV was released, knowing it would prevent U.K. users having access to F1 TV. So you can blame F1, not Sky.

@F1Media Just remember the onboard cameras are 720p only. So only off board shots may be in native 4K HDR.

@MylesWP It’s from when Aston Martin were Red Bull title sponsors.

@GuyS1250 @robprogressive State schools run on far lower budgets than private schools. Many are academies which are run for profit. The problem is that the private schools don’t want to lower their bottom line.

[James Dillon @RootGinger]

@NobleF1 It’s the age old problem of those in a title fight, being behind the following year as well as they can’t switch all the effort like other teams.

[James Dillon @RootGinger]

@kunalsen81284 @RBR_Daily KitKat are sponsoring F1 next year anyway, so won’t be concerned about a lesser deal with one driver.

@TomP1Bellingham I also want to know how Bottas hit it. He didn’t seem to have any need to move out and surely would have been told to stick to racing line down the straight because of the mirror. Did he try to clip it deliberately? Very odd.
