@DraytonManor I'm trying to book tickets with your Wowcher offer, but it's saying no dates available. Should be valid tomorrow according to the T&C's - any ideas?

@MartinSLewis Salaries into joint AC for household/family spending, and joint savings. Transfer equal amounts to both our ACs on payday for individual savings, clothes, treats etc. No meetings, but discussion before big buys or things change. Works for us 🙂

TELL US: If ur part of a couple, how do u manage the finances? Does one do it all for both? Do u have a joint account (for everything or just bills)? Do u do regular budgeting meetings. How does it work, & do u feel it works well. Pls reply & some'll be read out in my pod. And do like ur faves.

@nightflightdan Can't be as much help with Köln, I was 15 when I last went. The cathedral is genuinely impressive if that's of interest. Kölsch is excellent. There's a Lindt chocolate museum with a generous approach to samples...

@nightflightdan Tollwood Festival is on in München, that had a really nice vibe when we went a few years ago. Deutsches Museum is a great science museum. Viktualienmarkt is good for a wander, cheap daytime food, and beer. Can't really go wrong with the beer.

Xeeple. I'm off to Munich next Monday/Tuesday, then Cologne Weds-Fri. Other than local beers and Christmas markets, any must -do/sees you can recommend?

@brionytheliony 100% sensible. Booking flights is a laptop job too, can't be doing that on a phone, that needs The Big Internet.

@MartinSLewis Bought a big mixed bag of unused stamps from a stamp dealer 5 years ago for less than face value. Lots of First Class and some with pence values (all pictures so didn't need swapping for barcoded ones). Oldest one I've used was from 1977 - The Queen's Silver Jubilee 😮

TELL US: Do u have a stock of old stamps - if so how old? A 1st class letter stamp's due to rise AGAIN by 30p to £1.65 on 7 Oct – yet buy now & if it say "1st" not a price its valid ever-after. Have you stocked up in the past, how many, how much did you pay for them? OR alternatively who's gone the longest without posting a letter. Do let us know by reply, the producers will select some interesting ones to read out on m'podcast and do like your faves.

@cursedconnector @toybuilder Yep. Loads of telecoms gear uses these (or the 3pin version)

@toybuilder I want to sayyyyy telecoms/broadcast gear. Oh and don't forget lab/industrial. Real popular if your host box is something in a eurorack/schroff rack...

Today, I learned that there is a DE-2W2 power connector, and I now want to know what equipment used such a thing...

@NorthWestNurse What did you get?

@nightflightdan @SJANorthMRT @SJALondonMRT @sjaeastmrt Optimistic sunnies there

So this is what they mean by fog on the Tyne. Out with @SJANorthMRT and colleagues from @SJALondonMRT @sjaeastmrt supporting the finish line cover at the Great North Run.

@NickBadley Far less @BoothsCountry darn sarf though 👀

@medic_m_a_c My work boots are Steitz Secura, which are amazingly comfortable and tick all of your boxes I think. Rubber toecaps over the leather for kneeling on unpleasant stuff. safetybootsuk.co.uk/steitz-smc640-… are the ones I have, but they do a big range.

@brionytheliony Big fan of the Lake District - Armathwaite Hall is a lovely hotel, with nice walks if you're feeling active, and a spa if you're not.

@nightflightdan I'm afraid I can't agree with the position taken by yourself here.

Misuse of the reflexive pronouns in an attempt to sound more formal.

@Morrisons Not been in to my local store for a while, but had the feeling today I was being watched... Hundreds of these cameras all over the store! Is it AI face tracking, preparation for robotic shelf stacking, or just plain old anti-theft CCTV?

@ZeeshParamedic It was on that day that @ZeeshParamedic decided, "Never again shall anyone be in any doubt as to what I am...a PARAMEDIC badge shall be visible from every direction"

“There was a bald guy”

@RantyHighwayman It's amazing how well it works. I did mine on Saturday night. It arrived *yesterday*. Nothing in this country works that well!

@MallinsonT @ThomasJPaddock @mark_tehan @ZeeshParamedic @NARU_org @IG_Bennett @JamesLindleySJA They definitely predate NARU - I was trained using them in 2010, if nothing else. gov.uk/government/pub… covers a lot of the same ground - Momboisse (1967) is referenced, which comes very close in some of the wording, but doesn't have the actual images

@ThomasJPaddock @mark_tehan @ZeeshParamedic @NARU_org @IG_Bennett @JamesLindleySJA Isn’t it frustrating that we still have this silo working and people keeping this sort of guidance so close to their chest 😩

What’s the source for this guidance? Thanks internet!

@TheDreadShips @threadreaderapp unroll

@helenpidd @northernassist The standard anytime/off-peak fares on this route are set by @BeeNetwork /TfGM according to the fares data (brfares.com/!fares?orig=RM…), so may be worth checking with them as well.

@northernassist Romiley to manchester Piccadilly. Off peak no longer seems to be available at all

@northernassist hello, do you know what has happened to off peak single tickets? They no longer seem to be on sale at all at the weekends, which used to be off peak all day.

@santanderukhelp Fantastic, thank you! 😁

@frederific Hi Freddie, they just have to be active and paid within the 60 days. Transferred ones will be fine. ^WB

@santanderukhelp Hello - I've switched an account under the £185 bonus scheme (including 2 DDs). I note the T&C's say I need to set up 2 DDs within 60 days. Do the ones I've transferred count, or is it 2 additional new ones? Thanks
