Northern lights in Northern London. I never thought I’d see this in Muswell Hill.

Hey @PorscheGB , how can I talk to support/customer services? I emailed [email protected] but that seems to be a black hole. No human response, no automated response.

[James Elson @jameselson]

hey @GigglingSquid are you still planning a branch in Muswell Hill? The location you selected is still looking very empty.

[James Elson @jameselson]

Hey @monzo - great to see Monzo plus supports a feature to export transactions to Google Sheets automatically. However, the permissions the app asks for are _way_ too broad. “See, edit, create and delete all your Google Spreadsheets”?! Err no. You can access one. Or one folder.

Hey @Sullivanbuses, the 603 in Muswell Hill has become increasingly unreliable. It’s a 6xx school bus and if it doesn’t turn up in time, we have no choice but to give up and find another route to get to school on time. Empty buses are pointless. @TfL can you help?

[James Elson @jameselson]

Why isn’t there a law stating that mattresses must have handles on all sides?

[James Elson @jameselson]

@VolvoCarUK what do you consider acceptable for a car repair? My Volvo has now been with @VolvoNorthLondn for 8 weeks. I never get any updates, nobody calls me back. The service is truly appalling.

[James Elson @jameselson]

Hey @VolvoWestLondon would you like to tell your colleagues at North London to pick up the phone? You’ve had my car for three weeks now and haven’t told me what’s wrong with it let alone fixed it. Impossible to get a straight answer on the rare occasion I get through to somebody!

@haringeycouncil It’s a nightmare. Horn beeping all evening on St James Lane. Who’s idea was it to let sat navs direct an A-road’s worth of traffic into a lane with only room for one-way traffic?

[James Elson @jameselson]

⁦@Sullivanbuses⁩ looks like the 603 left Muswell Hill really early today. The map shows both buses en route. There are going to be a lot of school kids wondering where their bus is this morning. Please wait until the scheduled departure time, it’s a lot less stressful!

I am deaf. Masks have fundamentally changed my life & the lives of millions like me. Masks remain a vital tool in the fight against the pandemic, but there are simple ways you can make the lives of deaf people easier. #SeeingIsHearing

@Sullivanbuses morning. Do you know what happened to the 603 yesterday morning? The 7:45 didn’t turn up (I was there from 7:40-8:00).

[James Elson @jameselson]

Hi @HydropacLtd - we get deliveries that contain your gel-based ice packs. They have recycle logos. What do I do with the gel? Your site says “The gel (SAP – Super Absorbent Polymer) formula is a plastic derivative … disposal is almost impossible”. Confused.

[James Elson @jameselson]

@virginmedia @Marc_hogg No we can’t. The website is down for “maintenance”.

So, @BorisJohnson says “I don’t believe that those are terms that any prime minister of this country should accept”. I’m interested to know if @David_Cameron or @OfficeGSBrown have an opinion. (Do Tony Blair and John Major really not have Twitter accounts?)

[James Elson @jameselson]

Boris has given you his word that he won’t invoke these powers without asking parliament has he @neill_bob ? You do realise the reason we’re in this situation is precisely because Boris _doesn’t_ keep his word? Even when it’s an international treaty.

[James Elson @jameselson]

@MattHancock why, if there’s a lab testing capacity issue, does that affect local testing sites? Can’t any testing site send tests to the labs that *do* have capacity? How would it help to direct people to one further away? Are testing sites somehow tied to the labs they use?

[James Elson @jameselson]

@BorisJohnson @RobertBuckland you can’t say the Internal Market Bill is insurance in case of no deal. That exactly what the withdrawal agreement is, why it was agonised over for so long. You agreed it and trumpeted what a great deal it was. What’s changed since then?

[James Elson @jameselson]

So basically @BorisJohnson, you “got brexit done” by agreeing to and signing a treaty you didn’t actually agree with and just assumed you could change later? I.E. brexit wasn’t/isn’t “done” after all? Do integrity and trustworthiness mean nothing to you?
