Very naughty from @microsoft.com Increased Office 365 annual cost by £25! No explanation why or that you can downgrade to Classic from their new AI package. Worse, when you finally navigate to find package options they deliberately don’t list the bits you keep in Classic - like Word, PP, excel etc

For anyone stuck in non-moving traffic / diversions around the east side of Edinburgh this afternoon…. @edintravel

Well this place seems lovely, & not just the no ad’s. I’m actually looking forward to social media for the first time in a very long time.
