Replying to @thetimes
@thetimes I have just informed one of your staff that “This is corporate harassment and I’m now escalating to a formal complaint” I wonder if THIS TIME my case will be escalated and a manager contacts me? Also update your database! @Barclaycard has been so helpful!

🚨 Jarrod Bowen on West Ham’s 6-0 win over Wrexham: 🎤 Reporter: “Jarrod, six different scorers. What did you say at 3-0?” 🎙️ Jarrod Bowen: “I told them, don’t switch off. These nights get sloppy if you start thinking about the score. Keep running. Keep hurting them. At 3-0, the game can go one of two ways. You either take your foot off the gas because you think it’s done, or you stay ruthless and keep playing the football we came here to play. We spoke about respecting the opponent, respecting the game and respecting the badge. Nobody wanted to be the team that scored three and then started walking around waiting for the final whistle. The message was simple: keep making runs, keep moving the ball quickly, keep asking questions. If there’s space, attack it. If someone loses the ball, win it back. Don’t give them a way back into the game. And when the fourth went in, you could feel it. Everyone wanted more. Different players were getting on the scoresheet, but it wasn’t about individuals. It was about the standard. You don’t get many nights where everything clicks like that. So when you have one, you enjoy it — but you also make sure you finish the job properly. Six goals, six scorers, clean sheet. That’s the kind of night you want to remember.”

2 of 2 Rejected by a contractor acting on for NCC now @WestNorthants For 1) several years of a stretch of road NOT monitored under S58, based purely on hearsay! Damage claims rejected on "Not ours" 2) is current a 25cm pothole on 60mph road = duplicate? @mrpotholeuk 6 months!

MP proposes AI-powered bin lorries to help detect potholes faster highwaysindustry.com/ai-bin-… This is already being done via @Stanthe_app please tell @transportgovuk @UKParliament I've suggested within Well Managed Highways review that all 'Red Rated' pothole HA's must do this!

Reported 25cm deep pothole where @mrpotholeuk & I previously reported a similar one on @fixmystreet One delayed small repair has now led to 17m of carriageway failure! Worth the cycle 🚴‍♀️

1 of 3 @WestNorthants the most disturbing incompetence is one consciously putting lives at risk, in EXACTLY the same way time and again! This INCORRECT signage almost caused a boys death six months ago. It isn’t access only! @mrpotholeuk @brackleycouncil @Cllrbagotwebb

2 of 3 There’s access to: Oak Road, Poppyfields Way, Humphries Drive, then on to Northampton, Banbury, M1, M40 By erecting incorrect signage, @WNhighways discredit all signage! Slippery Road signage on A422 in place for up ten years, despite overlay / resurfacing, illegal!

3 of 3 When exactly the same signage almost caused a death in January, it was immediately removed! Making the same deadly mistake should be a criminal offence @NorthantsPolice or at least lead to a gross mismanagement investigation! The worst type of organisation? Non learning!
