@CarnivoraCC And in the last 3 years I've been proper ill once maybe twice. So that works for me!

[jon_howard @jon_howard]

@CarnivoraCC I have elderly parents who i have care responsibilities for. I work in London. I don't want to make them ill as it will probably kill them. So I'm one of the few people who wears a mask on the tube. I've gone thru the pain barrier and don't care what others might think any more.

@chilternrailway what's this nonsense email I've just had about adding first class?!?! Given how over-crowded your trains are this plan is insulting to those who travel regularly. We don't want first class we want enough seats for everyone. Do the right thing by you passengers.

Not yet got to the point of completely turning my back on X-Twitter, but I've just got set up on Bluesky for a bit of a trial. Far fewer people on there currently, tho growing fast. And promises a chance to leave all the Elon Musk-induced agro behind. Anyone else made the leap?

Hi @NiceSwanRecords. Bought the Hallan album pre-release on vinyl back in March via Bandcamp. Was meant to ship in May, but still not received anything. Any updates?

@Avis I have just returned my car at Vancouver airport only to find afterwards that I have been charged an extra $191 for 'non package items' on what was a pre-paid booking. What is this for and how do I claim a refund. Thanks.

@chilternrailway Can we use the tube to Amersham?

[jon_howard @jon_howard]

@thornymedia Hmm 🤔 well you can't have Joe Rodon back 😉

@Phil_Hilton @thetimes @BBC6Music Never has a typology so singular defined me. The oldies station and nostalgia tours is so true. And then you discover Bandcamp - which must be a definable subset!!

@chilternrailway I've had serious issues with activating tickets on my smart card over the last couple of days. It won't activate at the barriers nor when I use the nfc feature on the Chiltern app (even tho it says it's loaded). Any advice.

[jon_howard @jon_howard]

@chilternrailway It's considerably more than 21 (which a touch warm anyway), so someone's not doing their job! Hoping it's not another cost cutting measure.

@chilternrailway hi - I'm on the 18.15 from Marylebone - someone's forgotten to put the aircon on - it's unbearably hot 🔥- anything you can do?

[jon_howard @jon_howard]

@TheDrum Back in the day I'm sure the 10,000 number was less about ads per se and more about brand exposure in any form - so also packs, logos, mentions in media, whatever. I feel there was research with a head-mounted cameras involved. Still probably a bit high tho!!
