At @DublinAirport you have to add 30-60 minutes to your flight time for the baggage wait. Or don’t check bags…!

[Gavin Shields @gavshields]

@DublinAirport how often does your blue parking bus run? So far I’ve been waiting 35 minutes and your website says it’s every 15. What’s the actual timing?

I learnt today that @easyJet will seat a TWO YEAR OLD child away from their parent on the plane!

The only way to be seated next to each other is.... you guessed it... to pay!!!

If this isn't already illegal, it should be.

Do not go to the @SSEBelfastArena for a show. Hour plus wait getting out of the car park with screaming kids after Disney on Ice.

@tylertringas What a brave post.

Sorry to hear about what you've been through but wish you all the best with whatever route you end up going down.

I don't think I've ever nodded along to a thread on price increases before now....

[Patrick Campbell @Patticus]

The past 10 years I made companies $2.4 billion by fixing one piece of their business:

Their pricing.

Why'd they need me?

Because even the smartest people don't know how their pricing strategy should change over time.

So here's the exact pricing path to follow for growth 👇

@JohnCleese Sucked in to dumb click bait I see John…

@Rudolph_Cos I have noke at two sites and can’t fault them. Customers can move in and out without any staff time, door locks have held up well (two issues in 4 years!) and it makes the whole business much more focused on efficiency. Customers seem to love it too.

@sweatystartup Why are you ignoring Ireland for the golf trip!?

Count me in for Scotland...

[Gavin Shields @gavshields]

@bairdk @JTMartingCRE I’ve been doing this for 4 years in Northern Ireland. Two sites, both in tertiary locations. ~150 units each, no on-site staff, weekly cleaners, online bookings and smart entry on the doors.

Works great!

[Gavin Shields @gavshields]

@Rudolph_Cos I’d love to hear it!

@RobertJenrick is utterly depraved. A soulless disgrace in a government seemingly void of a conscience.

How can anyone ever vote for these people again?

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Ffs.

@lukesophinos @storasoftware: self storage SaaS (note I have a bit of a bias…!)

@StorageDataDev I have noke at my sites. Without it, I’d need staff. The upfront cost of noke was less than a years staff cost, and the annual fee is a rounding error in the accounts ($7 a lock a year I think).

It mightn’t work for everyone, but for smaller sites it’s a no-brainier IMO.
