Definition of irony. Go to @brighton-hove.gov.uk transport partnership meeting & point out lack of facilities at new 2/18/21 #Brighton&Hove buses stop. Then get bus from that stop in pouring rain across a huge puddle 🙄

First two are relatively straightforward - train plus a different #CarClub. I used #Enterprise in Liverpool for years to take my mum to appointments while #CoWheels have cars in Poole. Sorry, can't help with the van though.

Well, after watching #LiverpoolFC finally manage a win, I've made it to @unbarredbrewery.bsky.social for the fifth stamp on my #BeerTrail map 🍺. Got here by #Beryl #BikeShare along NCN20 - somebody should do a map of breweries on the #NationalCycleNetwork 🚲🙂

Everywhere has a #Liverpool Road including Manchester (ok, London has Liverpool Street but it's a road really 🤣). Even Brighton used to have one before it was disappeared by development!

Ticking off another bar on the @verdantbrew.bsky.social Beer Trail #Brighton #IndependentBeerCrawl 🍺🚶. This time it's #Lightbulb 💡at #BrightonBierHaus 🙂. Hoping to get to @unbarredbrewery.bsky.social later!

They are high cliffs, for sure. But that's about it for Denmark. Near me in #Brighton are a load of cliffs with similar heights including #BeachyHead (highest chalk cliff, Britain, 162m) & the Seven Sisters. Meanwhile in NL you get this 🤣 #NoordHollandDuinen

Absolutely. I'll be there! #PavementParking like this is rife across the country & it's incredible that no action has been taken. Obviously #Disabled people are most affected but on streets with narrow footways it means everyone has to walk in the road 😡

In #Liverpool to say #Kaddish on my mum's Yahrzeit. Now stuck. There are worse places to be I suppose...

Oh well. Anyway, I'm stuck in Liverpool (total signal meltdown at Crewe) so took a photo for you 🙂

Good to hear lots of views tonight on putting integration & equity at the heart of transport (& development) planning. Yes, projects have to be cost effective but doing nothing is even worse!

Saying it's a clever idea as self-employed people (like me) don't pay *employee* NI conveniently ignores that we *do* pay Class 4 NI 🙄. Same vibe as Gordon Brown - when I met him 20 years ago & tried to discuss s-e status growled "well, you're all better off". Some are, many aren't.

Too many to choose from 🙂 But toss-up between #TOS "Devil in the dark" mind meld & Picard joining the poker game at the end of "All Good Things..." #TNG (oh, & the whole crossover #SNW #LowerDecks episode)

Inspiring to hear #WhatIf life story from @baronesslolayoung.bsky.social at #Brighton Chamber #BrightonSummit. Great too to hear her talk passionately about science fiction & esp #StarTrek 🖖

Fascinating morning so far at #Brighton Chamber of Commerce #BrightonSummit. But now pivoting from business to hearing about migrant experiences & relating it to my own history of being the son & grandson of migrants & refugees
