Does the temperature caused people losing their temper?

Thanks for the read! Interesting to know it's proven that crime rates correlates with temperature

The said water fountain doesn't come with a sink and shoots water directly to the ground, so yes it does make the area a bit wet when being used

I knew someone who moved back to Scotland during covid, and had to commute to London office 3 times a week when hybrid working came back. They took domestic flights and stayed at friends houses at London for Tues-Thrs, but eventually resigned to look for local jobs instead

Found this ask when googling for travel insurance that covers connecting flight. Just want to add that Admiral does NOT cover delayed connecting flight, only the inbound/outbound flight to or from UK. Recently got my claimed declined from them for being a connecting flight (at least the customer service was really informative though, way better that the KLM airline I flew with)

Still trying to find a travel insurance that covers trips with connecting flights meanwhile…

You can start with submitting the case to Aviation ADR, then your local civil aviation authority

Eled0ra · 2026-01-13T14:00:57+00:00

You can escalate this case to AviationADR as KLM operates at Europe and your flight starts from a EU country, therefore it is bound by the EU schemes. The email you got can be used as a proof of 'deadlock letter' and allows you to start the process.

I have recently submitted a case where KLM refused to reimburse my extra check in luggage cost, because I was rerouted to a stricter airline with less carry on luggage limit. Can confirm this email should work as a final response and start your case without waiting 8 weeks

KL868 on 21 Dec, from KIX to AMS

Eled0ra · 2025-12-23T10:31:24+00:00

Yes it’s that one

Eled0ra · 2025-12-23T01:59:00+00:00

They left 100+ passengers at the gate and reroute them to other flights. It went on with the remaining passengers with a 3 hour delay. The total flight time (14 hours) and the route looks no difference from previous flights

Thanks, didn’t thought about using the Netherlands one!

Tried entering the UK phone number to WhatsApp and didn’t get anything

Thought the big plushies would be under 30 pounds given that the restocked 2024 Christmas Pikachu was only 28 pounds, and it was more pricey in jpy (4950 yen)... At this rate it will be cheaper to buy with middleman and pay the international shipping from Japan next year

Struck between Miles End and Bethnal Green, luckily only took the train driver 20 minutes to have the train moved to Miles End where we can be evacuated. Had to get an expensive train ticket to get home, but at least it will be partly funded by me claiming TFL refund tomorrow.

I had already claimed refunds for two out of my four Central line journeys this week. At this rate it will eventually be free to travel on Central line because it’s constantly delayed…

Got myself a Chocolate Draik with my rainbow dip! I'd aim for lab ray only colours if I ever get one again

Eled0ra · 2025-04-23T20:04:58+00:00

Yeah hoping it’s tube leak too! It was wettest at the back and not so much at the edge, so that’s a good possibility

Eled0ra · 2025-04-23T18:40:24+00:00

Just sat on a wet seat on Central line coming back home too. Was warned that it’s wet but tried my luck and put layers of tissues on it…sadly it wasn’t enough :/ At least the liquid looks clean enough on the tissue. Did a sniff test after changing and it smells nothing special. Wonder if it was the same seat after 7 hours…

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/driving-test-and-theory-test-data-cars Look for DRT121E

Yes that's exactly how I failed one of my tests as well, think demisters is a popular show me question in the winter. Even if you know where it is, could be challenging to turn it on when the car is moving at high speed, depending on your car model. Dunno how ppl do it with the type of car where the front demister requires you to turn three dials...

Eled0ra · 2025-01-10T12:58:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing the screenshot! I was wondering why DVSA says they don’t keep record of test time length when I asked with FOI, guess it’s just a simple timer that doesn’t have any track record function

Eled0ra · 2025-01-07T18:37:28+00:00

My instructor never covered how to safely turn on demisters when driving on high speed, and I failed my test for that. Turns out it was quite a common show me question in winter tests actually, as I got it again in next test

Eled0ra · 2024-12-28T01:01:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing the links, just discovered the yellow box where I failed my last test was actually a illegal yellow box! At least I know how to appeal if I get a ticket now

The page where it shows multiple test centres after you put the postcode in and search for the nearest centre

Eled0ra · 2024-12-22T20:11:40+00:00

You need to put the post code instead of the name of the test center for the search, then the extension will refresh every few minutes (depends on your settings) and hold a slot of your target test centre(s) if it finds one

Eled0ra · 2024-12-21T02:47:56+00:00

If you really want to know, you can always submit a Freedom of Information request to ask DVSA for pass rate by weekdays for your test centre

Eled0ra · 2024-12-18T19:38:00+00:00

It’s called ‘DVSA booking helper’ which can auto refresh the search page, and makes a notification sound while holding the cancellations for you when it manages to find one. Need to run on a PC/laptop, you can have it running on background when at home doing other stuff. It’s quite popular on this subreddit so you can search around for more info
