… I suspect part of my problem is because I'm using the email address "legodiscoverycentre@{my domain}", which is a legitimate email address. Might be worth speaking to your web developers about possibly over agressive filtering of valid email addresses?

… so had to call back for a 3rd time. Your phone line, thank goodness, is a LOT better. They answer the calls quickly, and are extremely pleasant and helpful. …

… I then can't open the booking on the website, despite being able to look up the order, I'm told the order number (I'm clicking on!) or email (I used to look up the order with!) are incorrect. When I called to amend the booking I never received a confirmation email…

@LEGO_Group Just wanted to feed back that the booking process for visiting the Manchester Discovery Certre is truely painful. I have an anual pass so have to book my ticket 1 place, then my older kid in another, then your emails are spam filtered…

And you sidestepped that your choice leads straight to a world “like the Middle Ages, when life was harsh, brutish & short”. I can see your someone who prefers easy choices than difficult, ethical ones, so I’ll leave you to that, & keep dreaming of a better world for everyone 🌍

We build mass storage, support households to install batteries, and collaborate with other countries and import when necessary. When it’s less sunny here, it’s more sunny on the other side of the planet. Now tell me how we all survive mass flooding, and extreme temperatures?

Solar and wind can be stored. There’s plenty of hydro (tidal) possibility in the UK. The increase, persisted heavy use of oil and coal for energy will lead to life that’s harsh and quite possibly short. You didn’t want that, right?

Retweet if you think that there should be no new oil and gas development in the UK.

#BlueMonday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays. Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Had to RT this thread despite it being so upsetting. We need everyone to see what's going on, & start shouting for it to be fixed, otherwise it's every single one of us that will suffer, not just those who need the NHS whilst staff strike for fair pay & conditions.

We realised this this year after our Ukrainian guest told us she was scared to have to go to A&E. Envy of the world?! It appears not!

Aww no. Hope you’re not suffering too much, and make a quick recovery.

This nicely shows why I absolutely hate UIs for git. It looks convenient, but is it really? There is no “undo” subcommand in git. I assume this is a git reset of the last commit on head? Soft reset? Or hard reset? UX wise this is very unclear, as a user, clicking it is a gamble.

My bestest mate is cutting his hair to raise money for @MyelomaUK - one of our other mates has got this far too young. If you get paid before Xmas throw some money his way (do so in Feb - plenty of time!) - follow the QR code! justgiving.com/page/david-co…

That Jeremy Clarkson can write things like that, and publish them unashamed, tells us all we need to know about the way Rupert Murdoch has poisoned and rotted our public life.

Why is it that when space runs out on the ROAD people think it is acceptable to park their car on the PAVEMENT??? The journey to school shouldn’t be this difficult… 🚘🤬🚫🚲🚶🏼‍♀️🛴👩🏼‍🦯👨‍🦽 #BanPavementParking #SpaceForPeople
