Lover of all things good to do with the oceans - ships, sharks and seaweed and hater of all things bad - pollution, piracy and (p) accidents. Views are mine.

Has anyone got any experience with @Pod_Point home installation? I’ve ordered and paid but the pre-installation form link didn’t work in the email and I can’t reach them by phone, DM or online.I’m totally stuck as to whether I’ll ever get one or if I’ve just thrown money away?

[Dr Bev Mackenzie @oceanbev]

@gm0hcq @Roddas_Cream @tiptree My lack of Scottish knowledge as a Mackenzie is almost as embarrassing as the fact I hold a German passport and don’t speak any German other than to tell people I have a pet rabbit (which I don’t)
