@TimHortons imagine my surprise on visiting two of your branches on Vancouver Island and being reminded of the DDR. Bare shelves where one would have expected a cacophony of donut delights. #sad 😭

If I was a betting man, I'd bet that somebody at 3 went for their Elevenses and dunked the wrong biscuit...per screenshots from Downdetector for UK, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark

Range anxiety is a thing at -30C, -40C...if you get stuck. Any chance of getting the data from chargers like this one not far from Kvikkjokk? Also, any Volvo FH, FM, FE, etc electric trucks doing the route; will fleet managers share insights on BEVs?

A Christmas #PostOfficeScandal. When the Post Office finally paid compensation to its victims, it landed them with a tax bill. It promised to cover this - but failed. 1,100 postmasters will have a £10k tax bill on 31 Jan with no help at all.
