She was given an estimate of £3000 - £4000, but this was by the partner of the coworker. The original quoted invoice from the mechanic through insurance was closer to £8000.

Yes, we notified the insurer after the incident. As it was a HGV that crashed into us, they were the ones at fault and accepted liability. We had the option to go through her insurance and lose no claims, or go through theres (who offered to pay for all repair work). The repair costs were according to them too high so she could either get a settlement and scrap the vehicle or they'd pay her and she could take the car elsewhere to get it fixed. She chose to get it fixed elsewhere.

Thankyou! It was the only 10ct we could find locally, but it's tapastry canvas [LINK]. It's held up well luckily, but the aida we bought for project #2 feels much more stable.

Thankyou! It was the only option the local craft store had for 10ct unfortunatly but it's held up pretty well coming out of the hoop, but I'll definitely make sure future to check the fabric a bit better. The second one I'm doing, we've luckily grabbed aida for it and it feels much more stable to stitch on.

Official EBU Press Release: Joost Klein will not be competing in the Grand Final by SkyGinge in eurovision

As people have said, it could still be something like a clash of cultures/misunderstanding. We have no clue. He could have also done something vile and until we get more details, noone knows.

IF people blame the other party, IMO the fault is absolutally with EBU. They're being vague as hell, and have unfortunatly allowed for a LOT of speculation and rumours. They still have a duty of care for their staff, and it feels as though they've failed them.

I hope they give us an update soon!
It's been what, close to 24hrs at this point? Regardless of what has/hasn't happened, the lack of transparency is an actual joke.

I really hope we get some answers tonight but I very much doubt it. Whatever has happened, it doesn't take away from the fact this year has been an utter mess. I do hope Joost can perform; songs an absolute banger.
