@TfL Thanks, I've done that. How long should I expect to wait before I hear back?
How do I make a complaint @TfL? This bus driver cut the corner right across me in the cycle lane yesterday. So dangerous and totally unnecessary - the road is plenty wide enough. Number 425 eastbound on the A11 just before Bow Road stop M at about 17:20
Also, how come this past of CS2 has no raised kerb or wands to protect cyclists from drivers doing this? It shouldn't be possible for a car or bus to even get into the cycle lane. @London_Cycling @TowerHamletsNow @NewhamLondon

This is great: having a security.txt file is now mandatory for Dutch government websites. They either need to apply this as a standard or provide a good justification for why they're not using it ("Apply of Explain") digitaltrustcenter.nl/nieuws/securit…

Just one normal, stress-free day as a #WatfordFC fan, that's all I ask for 🙏🏻

This is the story of one of London’s most ancient rivers, how it was lost & became a ‘ghost river’, & the unique opportunity to resurrect it in our collective imaginations *&* bring it physically back to life. Let me tell you about the Back River; East Ham’s River Roding. 🧵

This International Men's Day, I'm in hospital. I have ended up here because I was overly cavalier about my health, as men often are. See your GP, get yourself tested for relevant conditions, and if you don't know what they are, find out! If you have a health condition, monitor!
@vickytnz You too can fill in 30 pages of forms, frantically dig through old bills trying to find your postcode from 4 houses ago, and spend 6 months worrying you made a mistake while you're waiting to hear back!

Of course, the excellent @edent wrote about 'quantifying' the audience in 2013: x.com/edent/status/1…
FFS! I wrote about this sort of nonsense a decade ago. See - shkspr.mobi/blog/2013/11/t… I didn't think anyone would be daft enough to actually implement it though!
Please never do something like this @WatfordFC
Ah yes, let's sell our health data to Man City so they can *checks notes* "measure ... emotional arousal" I'm sure there's no way that data could be used for harm. mancity.com/club/partners/…
The team for me 👏👏
✅ Most goals conceded at home in one PL season ✅ First club to ever lose 11 consecutive home PL games ✅ First club to ever lose 15 consecutive games against one opponent ✅ Conceded the fastest goal in PL history ✅ Joint worst FA Cup Final defeat in history #WatfordFC

Plus of course it meets a user need that kept coming up in research!
It looks like a small change on the page, but behind the scenes there's new logic for sending an email when a page is removed, a new type of subscription list and a way for people with an existing subscriptions account to merge that into the new GOV.UK Account
Nice to release a feature onto 158,000 pages of GOV.UK 😇
