From a young age I was intrigued by the glass elevators of the Lloyd's building. Then I saw a BBC documentary about the building which made me appreciate Rogers' vision. Today I got to go inside, it was a delight.

This new policy of letting you on any train 2 hours before or after a cancellation is foreplay before axing delay repay schemes imo.

I accidentally bought some truly disgusting weed, but I can’t bring myself to just throw it away because it was pretty expensive. This is the Skunk Cost Fallacy.

mandatory voting will require investment to pay for more polling station capacity. if queues are long people will walk away. in practice £10 fines won't be enforced by the courts. Australia convicted just 226 people one election out of a million. i'm more interested in voter ID rules repealed

Starting to seem like a strategic own goal to close Post Office branches and put them inside WHSmith.

Up to 150 ex-WHSmith high street stores to close as rescue deal approved
The sweeping restructuring, approved by a court, will see steep rent cuts on most remaining stores.

I expect the social media ban to become a game of whack-a-mole. Teens move from regulated platform to unregulated platform. Government moves to bans those. Rinse, repeat until smaller platforms refuse to comply. Risk for the government is whether 18 year olds return to big tech regulated platforms.

what if instead of queuing up at a counter, asking for a drink, paying for it, and getting it, we have an app that prints off a sticker, which gets lost in a busy kitchen, and then 15 minutes later the customers ask what's going on? what if we paid people 6 figure salaries to implement these systems

Accidentally returned a parcel to one of those lockers with a tenner attached. Guy spots what I did and shouts to me. Somehow the interface let me unlock it and put the parcel in a different space. Result. I need to get a wallet.
