Thames Water asks UK competition watchdog to approve 53% price hike. OFWAT approved 35% price hike. Sewage will continue to be dumped, dividends and high debt will continue. Regulators now have a duty to promote growth of industry. No one protects trapped customers? archive.ph/MnzFh

The Buy It For Life (BIFL) movement complete with a website that identifies durable items. “I was about to buy a shoe bench for £100. A friend pointed out that, given the number of people who would be sitting on it, I’d be better off spending three times as much on a sturdier one.”

A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Just got this from Sky. We’ve been paying them for full fibre broadband for years. What the hell have they been supplying, and does this explain why it’s so crap?

Yesterday I took my m/bike to work, but had close encounters with 2 psychopathic drivers on the way back. Reluctantly taking the West Mids tram this morning. Delightful. And expensive.

1. Please read this thread. It could make a difference to your health. Before I went away, I had a strange, persistent tingling in the soles of my feet. When I looked it up, there were some benign explanations, and some alarming ones. I resolved to see the doctor when I returned. 🧵

Well, that's not good. Thank goodness we have such strong global leadership to tackle climate change. We are in so much trouble. www.bbc.com/news/article...

An inconvenient truth for Labour: NHS privatisation is entirely un-evidence based and the public has never agreed to it. All evidence is that privatisation is: 1) more expensive for taxpayers, and 2) has worse outcomes for patients

I realise I hadn’t posted a pic of the latest steed. Now with top box, but lacks the punch of the R1150 but half the weight, so a good fit for the insane B’ham traffic, when I’m in the mood to dice with death.

I love this view in Ortaköy’s Dereboyu Caddesi with the apartment buildings dwarfed by the elevated approach to the Bosphorus Bridge, and the skyscrapers behind. Difficult with my skill levels to do it justice on the iPhone though.

MAGA: paying $19.99 for a $2 bill with Trump’s face on it while crying about the price of eggs.

Chaos in the backstreets of Ortaköy tonight as all the drivers who brought their cars to the party realised it wasn’t such a smart idea. So here’s a more tranquil scene of Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridge at the Bosphorus yesterday.

When Gisèle Pelicot looked her rapists in the eye and declared “Shame must change sides”, she was applauded for her courage. Yet in the US a majority has made rapist who feels no shame the most powerful man in the world. Am I the only one struggling to get my head around this?
