@bswud @TallRomanStatue forcing them to either drive to everything they need constantly, or descend en masse to surrounding neighbourhoods to use their pubs/shops/cafes. They get a quiet neighbourhood at the expense of the people who live near amenities?

@questiontime23 @TheMercianNews The Argentine force would last a week? What, are they going to send a jet every other day?

@sherlock_comms @SavantIdiom @StablePleb @gio_petru Granted, I did actually think they were criminals dressed in knock off police garb when I first spotted them though…

@sherlock_comms @SavantIdiom @StablePleb @gio_petru Had two of these go past us outside a pub on a side street near Hatton garden the other week. Didn’t even hear them coming around the corner. The a minute later they were suddenly tear arsing down clerkenwell road. They looked nippy as fuck

@LostInSW19 @Victoria_Spratt Overly simplistic? This two minute short form video of the housing crisis? That uses a board game to explain basic concepts? Surely not

@technolochap @joseph_gellman From what I can vaguely recall without being arsed to look it up, no. You can fly from Brize Norton to the Falklands directly these days. Without refuelling. Plus, you know, a lot of other advancements since the 1980s. On the UKs side at least

@MarkSharon_DP @francesca_kms Well 18 people is still a hell of a lot more than 4 cars (because, as you probably know, private motor vehicles in London effectively have one person in them on average)

@TheWatc47403040 @francesca_kms Yeah that’d be even better! Public transport and active transport go so well together! Expanding both of those gives people the most choice, and makes transport accessible for the most people 🙌🏼

@JackPittBrooke youtu.be/ihvG3RgbYzE?is… Very good video Dan Olson video on this exact trend - Gold industry getting celebs to market everything about gold as an investment. Specifically Idris Elba’s bleak “documentary” about gold. Good watch

@TerrorismGuy @f4micom In fact, I actually get paid the day _before_ for recurring payments now. Since my bank knows they’re coming (e.g. my wages)

@TerrorismGuy @f4micom In the U.K. you transfer money instantly across banks. You need sort code and account number or, depending on the bank, a url with some identifier in it. I assume the EU is similar? Payment apps just aren’t a thing here because payments are instant.

@SouthernRailUK I’ve left a denim jacket on the 9:50am southern train from Hove to victoria (arriving to London Victoria at 10:58am). Could this be taken off and handed in to the lost property at Victoria station please?

@BBCBreakfast Right, but this isn’t speaking to the quality of AI; This is a damning criticism of the ineptitude of British Gas call centre staff. Months and months I spent trying to sort out a basic issue until the ombudsman told them to stop fucking about

@TorontaFreaky @AntiFeminismAU What do you think should happen instead? Like, specifically, what would you like to see done differently?

@dandouglas A tiny, but representative example; We went shortly after opening and the bathroom sinks had cheap bottles of soap. There were nice built-in soap dispensers but most had run dry. They required some special key that had obviously been lost straight away.

@dandouglas It's also not a great shopping centre to walk around. Considering it was built in the last couple of years it's got piss poor way finding, and a lot of the design choices are very "is this the best we can do?"
