@g__j 39362 (or 39362.6 if you really wanted the decimal but not normally needed?)

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@LNER So the 7.39 from KGX that appears to come up as stopping in Grantham and Leeds in the oive travel updates, but not in the reservation or booking system?

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@LNER I was booked on a train from Grantham to Leeds tomorrow which is cancelled - but I see there are trains with additional stops tomorrow (when looking at the live / planned departures)... can I use my ticket on those? I cant book it as it doesnt show on the booking system yet

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@OctopusEnergy I wondered, as I’m in a smart meter but still on economy 7 with you - can I switch over to a single rate? I’m a current customer and realised I’d save money given my usage is now more day focussed

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@LNER Thanks - didn’t think time travel had been worked out yet(!)

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@LNER hey LNER - just got off a train that was just over 30 minutes late… (18.15 Leeds to Grantham)… when I clicked on delay repay it says only 29 minutes late - but the board in the station / the photo I have pulling in shows it being 30 mins? Seems fishy…

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@LNER Not sure he fits in between seats entirely but second journey on the train today!

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@LNER hi, I travel frequently upto Leeds (azuma trains) and may start taking my dog (Golden Retriever) with me. The rules say that is fine, but can you recommend a good area of the train to sit / loiter as he won’t fit between the seats without a tail sticking out!

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@LNER :-) any chance of a 1st class upgrade for his inaugural trip from Grantham to Leeds? Photo op / cuddles of Milo are available…

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@LNER Thanks!

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@LNER I was booked on the 18:15 leeds to Grantham but it was cancelled. Is the next train 20:45 likely to be cancelled for the same reason or would that have been known already?

@BBCRosAtkins Hi @BBCRosAtkins - I missed the Zoom this evening - I don’t suppose a recording was made and is available? I was really looking forward to it but got held up at work!

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@OctopusEnergy Thanks! I shall wait eagerly on the doorstep :-)

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@OctopusEnergy hey! I may have signed up for the octopus mini form a second time then realised I actually filled it out a few months ago… I know it’s a beta, etc but are ones being shipped at the moment? On your site I think it mentioned it may be shipped in a few weeks?

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@tomasmcguinness ah thanks - ive looked at this exact problem before and had the same issue with the DS18B20 sensors. I then went into a world of "in pipe" thermometers but then it turned into a lot of plumbing faff.. so promptly gave up on it!

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@tomasmcguinness Out of interest, what sensors are you using on the pipe?

@rsmck I’ve replaced every socket and switch at home with MK… they are just nicer than all the others!

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@PedroClarke1 Hi Peter - I've noticed you use Network Signal Guru - but not sure if you've said your favourite / recommended phones to run it in the past - I wondered if you could share?

[Bill Brigden @dotBill]

@rsmck What’s the issue with your number?
