Unsure if I am fed up with this site or social media in general.

In any case, come find me where the sky is bluer.

@StewartHaasRcng Supported the team since 2009 and still can't believe it is the final lap for SHR.
Wishing all the drivers, staff and families all the best for 2025 and beyond.

See you over there.
My normally unflappable Mazda, had a major flap last night.
But my @TheAA_UK membership pulled its weight and then some! Initial recovery, hire car organisation and full recovery was totally seamless.
Hats off to the entire team involved👏🏻 @AAPresident

@TomTom Hi team. Currently on a week trial of the Go Nav app on iOS 18.0.1. I cannot seem to fathom the sound output settings so that voice instructions are loud through the phone speaker. Seems super quiet - other apps are fine. Any help appreciated 😊

@premierinn Unsatisfactory response to a complaint I made - so much for looking after your regular business guests - deleted my booking account with you and will stay with alternative chains now.

@YahooCare Hello Team. Are there any known issues with signing up to Yahoo Mail Plus on Android? When I click subscribe nothing happens.
Try the same on iOS and allows me to sign up to subscription successfully.
Not a country restriction seems to be an OS issue.

@AnglianWater Hello Team. Are you able to offer any extra support to the children's nursery affected by incident ref 64846736 today in Colchester? They are currently operating with no mains water and had to purchase bottled water themselves. Thank you.

@essexhighways @Essex_CC Can you let Openreach know that for job ref BC311001WFPMC21P, they've put the temporary bus stop NOT on the road where the 50/63 set of bus services actually go.

@zak_nelson22 Hello sir! Any chance you can ask the team to review the new Colchester network map. Loads of errors on it and still includes one I told you guys about a couple of months ago 😬
teapawt.net/petercackett/status/17…
Shouldn't really be a customer's job to tell you what is wrong with the network map. The map should be checked by both the designers and First themselves? @zak_nelson22
But for free, the 370 hasn't served Colchester since July 2023 so shouldn't be listed.

Ah overhearing a typical UK train conversation.
Your ticket isn't valid. It's an advance ticket that's not valid on this service.
But we just got to the station and got on a train.
You should've waited for the next train.
But we didn't know...

Question for car Twitter. How do SO many drivers manage to drive at night with only daytime running lights?! No forward beam and no tail lights in darkness.
Like, these are brand new cars. Do they not have a feature to remind silly drivers to turn on proper lights 🤷🏻♂️

It's not even been a week yet, but I already feel SO much better in the running of my country. Finally feels like we've got actual sensible adults in charge 👏🏻 @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour

@Britvic Hello Britvic Social Tean. What's the likelihood of a better supply of Club Orange/Lemon to the mainland UK rather than just RoI/NI. The fact it's so hard to come by in England is blasphemy, better than Fanta! Attached photos of me finding it in NI last month!

@YahooCare Hello Team. Really bizarre but in unable to subscribe to Yahoo Mail Plus for Mobile. Click the Subscribe button and doesn't do anything. Tried clearing app cache and completely removing and reinstalling the app. Any suggestions? Thanks 😊

@geofftech A lovely video on making memories, and your Thameslink Guildford memories.
I remember when I was much younger, visiting this spot, and watching the very fast passing Eurostar class 373's with my dad.
Yesterday, I was in the area. And stopped to remember him ♥️
