Is @NowTV the greatest rip off in recent British broadcasting? Let me know your experience of this trite shower of an organisation.

As I read it, this is the sole purpose of @x now… so I ask, just how shit is @thetrainline and while we are trolling the bins @RailwayGreat . Railwaygreat. Hilarious. Getting on a train in the UK is riskier than at any point in my life. Without a bicycle.

@johnvinton @RourkeBikes What a pearler. Enjoy! As if that could be in any doubt… Bon velo!

I am chairing / interviewing two forest and wood related talks at the mighty @hayfestival at the end of May:

So good to see forests, trees, how to make best use of timber and the power of making things feature in the festival.

What is agroforestry & what should it look like for Wales. Come & chat, eat & drink (might smuggle in some cider) x

Rest in peace to Roberta Flack. Her cover of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” is one of the most beautiful songs in pop history. Clint Eastwood played the entire 5 minutes+ in an extraordinarily touching scene in “Play Misty For Me.”

@dougscott Bless you, Doug. Not bad. Hoping you too.

Anyone else on here ever had a problem with @Eurocarparks_CS? Sent me parking fine. I had bought a ticket for the car park, so I asked for proof of my overstay and evidence that they have information boards about paying extra if you have overstayed. No info in replies!

@Eurocarparks_CS Bobster? I don't think so. Is it too much to ask for evidence? Can you really call what you do Customer Service? For a company that made over £100 million in income in 2023?

@Eurocarparks_CS ... I received a letter saying my right to appeal had expired. Now I have Debt Recovery Plus chasing me for £170. I would still like to appeal - I'm still not certain I breached the parking terms and conditions, but I can't speak to anyone, it seems, or progress my appeal...

The uglification of cycling in London is manifest- delivery bikes running red lights, Strava jockeys in bulging lycra, purple cycle rickshaws blaring around Soho and electric hire bikes abandoned irregularly all over pavements—at night, weirdly suggestive of an apocalyptic event.

[Stump Up For Trees @Stumpupfortrees]

There are a number of reasons why trees fail or are so painfully slow to naturally recolonize and regenerate on the uplands of Wales, in areas that would have been covered in woodlands formerly. Significant among these reasons is bracken. It grows densely and tall in summer...1/6

The wonderful charity @WoodlandHerita1 (which I am involved in, as a trustee) is recruiting for a new Chair and Vice Chair. Could it be you? Please share. Thank you.
