Unfortunately, a clashing engagement in London keeps me away from the first day of serving the public. But after Tues & Wed helping the set up, I’ll be there Fri & Sat stewarding the event - and maybe having the odd tipple.
And we’re off! The 2026 CAMRA Bexley Beer and Cider Festival is now open!

@Se_Railway I see you’re doing your best to spoil my day again! Waiting for 15:26 at Bexleyheath to head to Deal. Changes at Gravesend, Faversham & Ramsgate. I’ve only got 5 mins to change at Gravesend & Faversham and the 15:15 from Bexleyheath is already 2 mins late!

1/2 Suggest you acquaint your driver with the concept of a timetable, so if genuinely delayed by something, to act with a bit more sense of urgency. Green lights as far as the horizon and he/she came dawdling into Bexleyheath. Overly long and unnecessarily ultra-gentle stopping,

2/2 long pauses before doors opened, long pauses after doors closed before pulling away. Just completely dozy!

@TfL The dot matrix indicators at Lion Road stop (Stop BM) in Bexleyheath - and therefore possibly at other bus stops - does not show the 422 bus. Don’t know it’s arriving. Not one. Just watched two unannounced 422 buses go by. Weird.

Ha! Finally, whilst still waiting for my SL3 (originally showing 9 mins, it took 14 mins), just ahead of it was a 422 and it was on the dot matrix indicator! Just a problem with some 422 buses, then? (Along with your clocks having trouble measuring minutes, that is.)

@BBCSounds How is it that Series 3 (Chimera) and Series 5 (Abyss) of Tracks is available, but not Series 4 (Indigo)?

Reading an article in the @Telegraph and wondering how many managers and operatives from @networkrail are going to jail for the wanton and illegal felling of trees and destruction of the environment alongside the track near Higham in Derbyshire? @DerbysPolice investigating?

@AudiUKCare 2021 Q5 - The MMI navigation system has stopped working (“The navigation database is unavailable”). Not a licensing issue (see photo), so presumably a technical fault?

Devastating news for community grps planning/trying to raise funds to save their locals. £150M too little, anyway, for crisis afflicting our pubs, exacerbated by their inherent property value: The unspent £15M is drop in ocean of government spending. theguardian.com/society/2024…

@HiveHomeUK what’s wrong with your system tonight? Having used the app to turn lights back on when they are prof’s to go off at 11:45pm, tried to open app to turn them off again a couple of hours later (now): Find the app to be logged out and unable to log back in.

@Se_Railway shambolic service again. Bad enough no through trains from Broadstairs to Dover, connecting service starting at Ramsgate towards Dover now being missed. Daresay you’ll pass the buck to Network Rail. (For info: both 16:55 & 16:03 from BSR. Now missing 16:08 from RAM.)

Arrived at Ramsgate, quelle surprise! The 16:08 to CX via Dover is still sat in the platform. Platform indicator states “delayed” - engineering works, one wonders? No, at 16:23 driver announces we’re awaiting train crew and don’t know how long it’ll be! What, if not shambles?

Michelin-starred Raby Hunt Restaurant in Summerhouses, Co Durham, to close, as proprietor takes on a corporate role. Owners to sell business. Was "just" a pub previously: What chance it reverts to being a pub again ( /- more typical pub grub)? thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/2… @darloCAMRA

@CAMRA_Official why does no-one monitor and/or respond to e-mails sent to gbgappsupport@camra.org.uk? E-mailed 11th May, got immediate auto response with ticket number, then nothing. F/up on 26th July - still no reply. New query sent 5th Dec: Not even an acknowledgement!
