You have an issue lasting a decade ?

no, it's more than a decade since I've dealt with an organisation that offers customer services and not customer brush-offs - to the extent that having finally met a company that owns and resolves an issue rather than giving the mindless "just following procedures", it's worthy of comment.

I'm happy because I still found my way to where I had to be today, despite my non existent sense of direction.

And the poor train service. the 7.07 train was cancelled, the 7.22 turned up at 7.28 but irt was full, the 7.37 turned up at 7.48, which meant I missed my 8 o'clock connecting train, and had to catch a later one.

so I turned up 15 minutes late, had to find my way alone without having company to act as human satnavs, got so drenched my clothes were still soaking at 3 in the afternoon.

But I found my own way there.

So now I feel like a grown up :D

That must have been a fraught experience feral. I go mad at train stations asking everybody around me if this is the right platform for such and such a place, even though I know that the automated signage has already told me it's the right platform. I'm even worse at airports.

Yes, I feel the need to trust a person. I need that reassurance.

You've hit the nail on the head there. Not anybody else's fault but I missed a flight by a whole day once. Fortunately the airline staff took pity on me (long story) and let me get on the plane that day without having to pay again.

see, we need humans.

That must have been horrendous. I never trust those automated things, I always ask someone if I'm on the right train etc.

Its a wonder you can both get yourselves dressed in the morning :)

I do it with mirrors.

We are just tactile little primates with delusions of grandeur, after all.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
