Hi @EvansCycles. I bought @Lezyne Zecto Max from you in Nov 2023. It stopped working in Nov 2024. 2 of your customer service agents have told me you won't replace it - despite @Lezyne providing a 2-year warranty on all UK purchases, via @UpgradeBikes. Why such poor service?

Hello @UPS! Is it possible to speak to a human being about a parcel which you keep promising to deliver, but never actually do…? None of your systems seem to work!

These projects will help us to understand the crucial role of colonial soldiers in the world wars and the effects of colonial service on those who enlisted - as well as why these histories have been neglected and misunderstood. 7/10.
