8. Unscrew the top, squeeze the bottle back into shape and let the air into the bottle ...

6. & 29. Try using a toothpick to remove any potential ‘bung’ of lint from inside the Lightning port on you iPhone. A build-up can prevent the connector from seating properly.

8. Strongly disagree.
29. I bought a pair of generic Bluetooth earbuds from a certain large online retailer for €8 and they are great. Also, no cord > cord.

23, I agree the Athletes Parade was too long, I thought the drones above the stadium the best part.
29, If you were to break your allegiance to Apple you can still get mobile telephones with headphone sockets

2. Snap.
31. Similarly ordered mine "just in case".

3 - that's heritage now.
7 - Guardian reader complains about 'elf & safety, world has officially gone mad.
8 - you are potentially the only member of the human race unable to successfully operate a squeezy plastic bottle, although your ability to keep air out of it is a skill in itself.
13 - this religious extremist should have been arrested for going on about Christianity.
15 - I always knew that TfL's financial problems had a simple, easily understood solution.
16 - what did the sink have to do with it? frozen pea spillage in the freezer makes sense.
23 - the athletes' parade has always been boring, perhaps if 'excitedly waving at camera' was some kind of sporting contest.
31 - NHS sent me a letter urging me to get jabbed, as 'our records show that you are at high risk of getting seriously unwell//but have not had your first dose of the coronavirus vaccine', although the card in my wallet says otherwise.

2. If it says Vaxzevria, I believe that travel to the EU is permitted. It is only Covishield that isn't recognised by the Ema.

8 - I only realised a few weeks ago that you could unscrew the nozzle cap to reveal a normal screwtop. I have vague memories of you not being able to unscrew them at one point to prevent refilling.
28 - I have been to LSS hundreds of times, I have never seen this place.

31 - I presume the paper version has no expiry date. Each one downloadable from the NHS App has a 'use by' date of +30 days. Another can be downloaded at any time and although they all contain precisely the same information, they are only good for 30 days. Mystifying.

3. It may be worth removing one of those out of date signs, the LT museum currently selling old signage off for high prices. One featuring 'West Ham Stadium' selling for £1950.00
10. I would also recommend 'Classic Scottish Albums' from the radio Scotland podcasts. My favourite episodes are Gerry Rafferty's 'Night Owl' and Average White Band' (perhaps the greatest Scottish group along with Marmalade). Also enjoyed Hue and Cry, and of course John Martyn's Solid Air. Go listen!

3) There is an opportunity here. Remove the signs, they will be valuable in later years as another poster has point out.
Now here's the rub. Bill Tfl for your work in removing the out of date signage and disposal of the aforementioned. A ton a sign should do it. That said, the more outrageous you go, the more likely it is your invoice will be paid without query.
8) Yup, let the air in occasionally. Sorted.
30) A couple of days ago I irritated the assistant at a newsagents in Brighton by asking where the newspapers were.

12 - I've had similar despite them (a) having had a meter reading three months ago and (b) bribing me with entry to a prize draw if I provide a reading within 7 days which is impossible as my meter cupboard is locked and the management company takes two weeks to provide a reading.
21 - 'a plastic stencil for drawing the outline of Great Britain'. That brings back memories. I wonder where mine went.

2. Both of our cards just say Astra Zeneca - so we've no idea if it's a travel-permitted one or not!!
4. Thanks, I'd been wondering!
7. Oh for goodness sake!!!
12. I submit mine online each month when I get a notification that a bill is due in a few days
13. I guess pounding the streets between two boards is so 1970s - but at least that only contributed to eye pollution and not air as well.
24. Right on schedule to coincide with the start of the school summer holidays!
31. What?? This is the first I've heard about a Vaccine Pass letter! I was told my little vaccination card was my vaccination passport so don't lose it! I guess that answers 2nd July!

31. We were told the card given out with the jabs was not acceptable proof by 2 different agents for a European holiday and a cruise.

31. How can they issue a paper Covid Pass with no photo ID, hologram or even watermarked paper? Anyone could photocopy it.

31. It also has a nice tempting blank space when you get it after your first jab.

14 I am surprised: I had you down as someone that would have left their stuff behind and then beaten the checkout operative to the car park. (Having once been in a burning building and seeing at first hand how quickly exit can become impossible, I am up out of my chair at the first "tink" of any fire alarm, taking nothing with me, and I'm usually first at the muster point.)

8/14/16. Try not to be surprised by an event I've described incompletely at which you were not present.

2. Also snap. Now you have me slightly concerned (and also confused because according to Ian's comment I'm fine).
29. I'm not usually a luddite but on this topic I am firmly in the camp of "only buy a phone with a headphone jack", of which there are still plenty. I do own some Bluetooth headphones but they are annoying and unreliable when I'm out and about.

25. I missed you by 24 hours. I was in Beckenham Place Park on Saturday. £5 for a pint didn't seem too steep by London standards.

2) the batch number on my vaccination card is one of the ones made in India, but the one showing on the NHS app is not.

8 - only after 40 years if trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste out of the jar did I finally work out you could just cut the tube in half; not sure the same trick works for squeezy bottles of ketchup, though.

16. I once spilt some cous cous on the floor in my kitchen. Like a fool (but I only knew this later) I chucked them in the sink. Where they went down the U bend - and expanded!!. Like concrete and blocked it. I had to take the u bend off and saw and pick them out. Not doing that again. Tea leaves only now ;-)

9: It's rare occassion to see all capital lettering, as if you’re shouting the words out for apparently no reason.

27 (to stop it feeling lonely!) - glad the fencing seems to have worked, it seems warning signs asking people to stay out of nesting areas AND keep their dogs out aren't enough

03 - There is still a walking sign at Canning Town for West Ham United (the last season during District Line closures). My next visit it will disappear. I am assured by the procurer that TfL were charged for installation "plus removal", but they were not bright enough to deal with the second bit.

31 - Thanks to the public service aspect of this post, I have today become proud possessor of my very own NHS Covid Pass.
