@LNER Yeah well, a 1hour 20 min change over I had planned has gone out the window and now can’t get the 09.20 I had booked and have to wait another 2 hours to 11.20
Contingency planning more likely to be 4 hours when / if travelling with you again. Claim gone in.

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

Once again @LNER never fails to not deliver. once again held up by ‘signal fault’ to London whilst every other train passes us by whilst we don’t move. Not had one LNER train get to London on time in over 4 months.
Thanks for making us all and missing connections
#shitshow

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

@LNER Thanks @LNER now going to delay me by. 2 hours with lost connection and a late for a client meeting so 14.38 and not. 12.38
May as well have not travelled. Fucked off don’t come close and now a slow train
May have told us train issue at Newark and not announce signal fault.

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

@LNER So wasn’t a signal fault as initially told then now we’ve been asked to alight and get another train
Fucking useless

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

@LNER The 06.44 from Newark to King’s Cross

2 LNER trains gone past us now as we sit at Welwyn garden city 20 mins late already and no time of arrival given with absolutely no hope in getting next connection I need at 09.20

@BadgerClass56 Have fun @BadgerClass56 !!

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

Always good to get a first class upgrade on @LNER to then have the train cancelled yo then get shoved on another train which is overcrowded and standing room only.
Fucking joke.
Back to car and increase of CO2 production for me. Fuck the train…

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

How can @EastMidRailway justify allowing a train which has broken down to continue move at 20mph with other services following it at that speed ???
Do you not have and sidings it can pull into to allow others past ???
I’m dismayed and disappointed once again with train travel.

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

@TheRAC_UK your service is an absolute joke.
15 hours so far waiting to be collected for transfer home. Every time contacted, told ETA another 45 mins.
Total joke of a service, 1st driver rescued me at 16.01 hrs on 4th October. Since 16.45 no one has turned up for second stage

@squeezyjohn & @boden_jon been enjoying this online and glad the vinyl copy finally arrived today. Am inspired so Melodion packed to play some tunes in the Commonwealth Games entrance hall this week. Top quality acoustics in there. #getyourfolkon #folkthat #thankfolkforthat

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

@squeezyjohn Can’t beat a bit of ventilation, interesting at moment sorting it all out for the venues here at the Commonwealth Games

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

@squeezyjohn Feel your pain ! 3 kids and online lessons, wife online working and me trying to run an events safety business which with all the Brexshit is going nowhere fast in Europe ! Time to get the drums out and go native communications 🥁... - - - ... send beer !

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

@boden_jon 2/2 for music and playing, get a separate usb microphone, again Amazon do them and they are good fit about £30
We use them for the girls fiddle lessons

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

@boden_jon 1/2 Decent usb webcam something with ultra HD and wide camera lens is good, we have 2, one connected to TV for zooming family so@they can see us all and 1 for me for work meeting.
I went with a Dericam Webcam, HD 1080P USB Webcam for Live Streaming only £26 on Amazon

[Ben Crabb @ben_crabb]

@ww_uk love your re pies but why do food wasteful ?
Tonight curry, used only 200g of a 500g pasata carton, only half a stock cube and half a tin of coconut milk.
What do I do with the other bits?
Can’t your recipes be food saving savvy and use a full pack etc #fightfoodwaste
