Each issue includes at least one line that’s been described as:

“surprisingly useful”
“mildly unhinged”
and
“the reason I snorted tea out my nose on a client call.”

You’ve been warned. ☕😅

When Alfred Rush opened the carefully wrapped birthday present, he was delighted.

But little did he know that, just a few hours later, that very same present would seal his fate and condemn him to death.

Not been able to use IOG from @OctopusEnergy since Thurs & they've stopped responding to DMs. The app says I don't have a smart meter, even though I do. It happened when I was trying to redo the connection to the @myenergiuk Zappi charger as instructed. Anyone else found a fix?

@RickHedin @mollyfentonx @TEDxNHS @LoveYourPeriod1 You can skip forward to nearer the end of the video. From memory, Molly was the penultimate speaker of the day.

@Brentwood_BC is there a special exemption that means the cabs you license don’t have to have their headlights turned on when they’re driving through the rank at Shenfield station and the drivers don’t have to wear seat belts for the whole journey?

[David Miles @davidmiles]

If @Brentwood_BC is only providing one public charger in the town (compared to the four that @eppingforestdc installed in Ongar) it’d be nice if their staff didn’t block it with their own ICE cars. Will the employee who had to be asked to move it be getting a PCN?

[David Miles @davidmiles]

@davidbutler_75 @myenergiuk No. Only a message saying to contact their technical team from someone who could presumably have passed on the message themselves.

@myenergiuk but there is no login button.

@imogenmurray9 @Obrien30Paul @NabsFreeman @SnellingDean @InstaVoltUK @DriveOnto My wife used Shell ok yesterday. I’ve just tried InstaVolt this evening and got a card authentication error. Not sure if that’s due to unpaid bills or whether it just means the charger had a comms issue.

[David Miles @davidmiles]

@Obrien30Paul @NabsFreeman @SnellingDean @InstaVoltUK @DriveOnto I got the attached email from Onto today. However, a few hours later when I tried using my InstaVolt card it was working again.

@TomTalksEnergy @EcoNorfolk @ItsBillN Instavolt working for me again this evening.

@tillathenun @PeoplesTariff @modernheroestv @DriveOnto @elmodrive I wouldn’t by the Peugeot e2008 my wife drives as its battery range is terrible and we’ve been talking about buying her a Tesla for a while. But I’d be tempted by my ID.3 Family - especially as I’ve put so much time and effort into getting all its s/w faults sorted.

[David Miles @davidmiles]

@Obrien30Paul @NabsFreeman @SnellingDean @InstaVoltUK @DriveOnto I hope that proves to be true. But I’m not sure I’d be wanting to rely on it too much myself. I’m a big Onto fan but I’ve had all sorts of trouble getting reimbursed for things before, and that was when they were in administration.

[David Miles @davidmiles]

@NabsFreeman @Obrien30Paul @SnellingDean @InstaVoltUK @DriveOnto No such luck at my local InstaVolt just now.

[David Miles @davidmiles]

@tillathenun @PeoplesTariff @modernheroestv @DriveOnto @elmodrive There are two on my driveway. It’ll be a pain in the arse if they decide they want them back at short notice. ☹️

[David Miles @davidmiles]

@ThisIsBrucifer @ItsBillN They were also offering @InstaVoltUK charging as an extra bolt on for something like £120pm. Not sure how many people had taken up that option though.

[David Miles @davidmiles]

@MathersJames @ItsBillN Same here. So much for the email earlier today saying everything carries on as normal. Some people (not me as I’m on an old deal) pay an extra £120pm to have access to @InstaVoltUK chargers.

@Brentwood_BC on Wednesday last week my glass recycling didn’t get collected. Have phoned you 3 times and each time I get told it will be escalated and collected. Still waiting for anything to happen. So do I get a discount on the council tax now?
