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.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
