@forduk Hi, I can't seem to pm you directly but we have a battery drain on our 2022 Ford Fiesta ecoboost which has meant needing 3 jump starts in a year despite using it daily and doing 30,000 miles a year. The Ford garage are stumped and say battery fine and charging. What can we do?

@forduk just taken delivery of new Ford transit. Over £40k. And no coat hook. Or mirror on the sun visor. This must be a mistake? All our previous and current Ford vans have them.

These auto-generated not very AI emails re journals and conferences are adding to our admin burden, but to get one today inviting me to present our dementia tau PET imaging work at the next climate change conference was a first- the algorithms clearly need serious tweaking.....

Congratulations to @AlzResearchUK and @HilaryAlzUK for this realistic insight into dementia with Lewy bodies - but most of all thanks to Des and Valli for sharing their very moving story with us. Des puts it superbly "DLB won't cure itself". Please support research now.
🟧 Hilary Evans-Newton 🟧@HilaryAlzUK

Dementia with Lewy bodies is the third most common form of dementia, affecting around 100,000 people in the UK.   I’m proud to share this new film from @AlzResearchUK featuring Des, who is living with the condition 🧡   youtu.be/GDvn2qVtMcM
