@British_Airways things go wrong, I get it. But when you cancel a flight (e.g. from Miami 3 hours ago) there are ways of handling it and this time your staff on the ground were not up to the task. Absolutely terrible experience.

@BatCavePhil @DieselDave12345 In 2011 public drains became the responsibility of the water companies - an austerity win! - another instance of the lack of follow-up of their regulation.

Kate isn't really here any more
Bit tired of "ooh bad journalists didn't cover the Post Office scandal". It's been covered for years: there have been two Panoramas, coverage of the court cases going back years, Radio 4 has done a series, Private Eye has been all over it, Computer Weekly has been on it for years

And while the NHS model is not unique, the U.K. is the largest country to provide such a service and as such we have an incredible level of super-specialism. That all goes away with an insurance based model. Hospitals rely more on generalists than specialists.

This map perfectly shows how the UK and Ireland can be the Saudi Arabia of wind power. I think we are unexcited by wind-power in part because we assume that everyone gets to benefit from it. Framed in terms of comparative advantage, it's much more potent. globalwindatlas.info/en

@virginmedia broadband down. Status page down. Phone line not being answered. App authentication mechanism unavailable. A fine time to have just received a letter telling me you're raising the prices by 15% ...

Dear @Strava can I suggest a new year's resolution? Just automatically flag any segment where the pace exceeds a comparable world record for that distance. The segments are a key USP for you and the data are easily validated, so why don't you?

There aren’t enough qualified Maths teachers in the country to teach all young people up to the age of 18. You need to work on your Maths skills Mr Sunak.
