A reminder not to call any 0845 numbers from your mobile. They attract horrendous ‘service charges’. I recently called a charity in Edinburgh thinking it was a local rate call. £3 later for a quick minute call !.

Did the connectivity issue discussion include the inability to ‘upgrade’ to a less usable service on the street trackers? When will the citizens see the benefit of this extra £1.6m spend? @BenMacpherson.
Good to meet with @on_lothianbuses & discuss their recent success, some local connectivity issues, the huge benefits of the under 22s bus pass, & how to address antisocial & violent behaviour undertaken by a minority. I do think this is worth considering:

Didn’t take long for the tracker sign to fall off. Hope it didn’t fall on someone. @edinhelp .

That’s the third night in a row the lights on Marionville Road are stuck in red. @on_lothianbuses and other traffic are carefully navigating this bypassing the lights.

Avoid London Road/Marionville Road this evening. Traffic lights stuck on red from Marionville Toad onto London Road for hours. It’s gonna be a long 10 nights resurfacing. @edintravel @edinhelp.

#BoycottBrewdog I can’t understand why the National Living Wage is not possible in this international company. Time to support more local businesses like @TheBellfield @campervanbrew @pilotbeeruk @StewartBrewing @moonwakebeer @vaultcitybrew and others.
James Watt Brewdog's CEO is worth £262,000,000 he is refusing to raise the wage of his staff in London by the £1 an hour to keep them at the National Living Wage. Brewdog is apparently a 'nice' company, but wage freezes don't seem very nice. Do they?

Found a freephone number for #Travelodge booking instead of their premium rate number - don’t use 08719848484 instead use 08004080797 I tried it and it is working. (shocking 13p per minute number plus £2.50 service charge) @TravelodgeUK Why don’t you advertise this number?.

In all the years @MurrayfieldStad was sponsored by @bt_uk , you couldn’t get a decent phone signal in the stadium. What will @scottishgas bring to the table? #HotAir ? @scottishrugby.

I don’t often read what comes out of that London establishment but this was a twice read and digest situation. The words oath and oaf come to mind.
Now we know why they’ve taken so long. This is a thorough piece of work. And it spells the very end for Johnson. I strongly recommend you all read the whole thing. And look forward to him being questioned under oath while his acolytes bleat about Sue Gray
