“Why did you open by asking me if I was charging if those points have never worked?”.“……………£100 fine if you don’t move your car right now”. It’d have been funny if he wasn’t so rude. Chose QPark today so I’d do trickle charge. I feel totally ripped off and quite affronted.

“How long have they not worked?”.“They’ve never worked”.“Well, can I leave it there for a little while, then on my break at work I’ll move it to the rapid charger, which I can see does work?”.“No. £100 fine now. And if you stay at rapid charger over 90 mins another £100 fine”.

“Are you charging?”.“Yes”.“If you park there without charging its £100 fine”.“Ok, well, I’ll plug in”.“That charger isn’t working so you need to move it”.“Ok, sure - can you show me which ones work?”.“Not a single one of those ones work. So move the car right now or £100 fine”.

Hi @QPark_UK - had a rubbish experience upon entry at Chinatown (London) this afternoon. I parked my EV at the 7kW charger and attendant confronted me as follows (I’m paraphrasing but only slightly)….

Shamefully took out all my anxiety and frustration at this shitty not-quite-un-precedented week for theatre on the helpful chap on the line @InstaVoltUK earlier while charging car. Dude - you were totally right and I was being a muppet. I’m sorry.

Not caught @bbcstrictly for a while; stumbled across this last night and it fucking floored me.

24 hours in Dublin. Enforced mandatory mask-wearing and proof of vaccination in theatre. Still sounded like everyone had a good time. Social distancing guidance elsewhere. Quelle surprise…case rates in Eire <10% of those in UK. Another world is possible! 😷.

First preview last night @jamiemusical. So special for this fabulous company to finally pick up where they left off 18 months ago. A treat for me to watch and listen but surreal not sitting at the piano!. #everybodystalkingaboutjamie #uktour #outofthedarknessintothespotlight

Still processing doing @JamieMusical last night to a fuller capacity house. Hearing that many people…amazing and a bit disorientating. Thanks @NimaxTheatres for keeping everyone safe. Those cheers tho 👌🏼.

Hey autocorrect - with all due respect to the recurving community, I have never ever ever meant “Recurved with thanks.”.

Yay for full-capacity opening. But theatres have to mandate mask-wearing, right? Be brave where gov are being cowardly? It’s so easy. And provable transmission between audience members would be used as ammo to shut us down again.
