At some point it would appear I became the face of Sheffield commuters. thestar.co.uk/news/traffic-a…
@jamesjgalbraith So speaks the Sheffielder! If Conduit Road was in North London it'd be a national tourist attraction.
@MattBowns The cordless tool battery ones are the best IMO. I have the Makita one and use it for all the vehicles. Failing that, Ring seem to make pretty good 12v cigarette lighter powered ones. I've got one for emergency use in the boot of the car.
@DHLParcelUK Thanks for the reply, Mark. I've called and things are now in motion. The DHL website didn't tell me that it was held up in customs but the parcel force one did. How do I know which website is the right one to check?
@DHLParcelUK I'm still waiting on an email response about my parcel that's been at your warehouse for nearly 3 weeks without update. The parcel number is recognised on your website but not on the phones so I can't get through. Please respond.
@DHLParcelUK Please could you give me an update on this @DHLParcelUK ? I've DM'd you the information that you requested and I have not heard anything since.
@DHLParcelUK 5 hours later and still no reply to the DM. Please can you investigate where the parcel is.
@jamesjgalbraith Looking good Mr Galbraith!
@PPushbike Rock looks like Pembroke but I don't recognise the lighthouse...
@Jack_Kirby @FingerBoardLies I get an hour door to door cycling from the middle of the Hope Valley to central Sheffield. Usually a bit longer home because prevailing westerly, 100m more climbing and fatigue from a day spreadsheet wrangling. D2D via train faster by about 15 mins. Car way slower.
@ae_baldwin I'll have to find out who's providing the info... Over 150 ORs at last count.
@ae_baldwin DWP data doesn't look right. Think we've got over 200 economists now.
@Baystastic @JamesHawkesUK 🧐Is that an Empire Strikes Back themed Christmas jumper??
@ae_baldwin Now I'm curious to know what criteria you appraise Sainsbury's by 🧐
What's just happened to the UK economy? A thread on how we got here, and what's next for Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng... 1/
@dsturmn Same can be true for team meetings.
@triweasel One rushed morning I packed my ripped, mud encrusted gardening trousers before cycling into the office. It's the first and last time I've ever waited outside TK Maxx for it to open.
