“Change here for the bus and the ferry to England.” This announcement gets me every time.

Welcome to this early spring trip. In celebration of the Channel tunnel’s 30th anniversary, I shall be taking the boat tonight, because it was fifty euros cheaper and is way more fun.

@partim @patrick Maassluis is actually neither on the Maas nor on the Nieuwe Waterweg, but on the Scheur: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheur

I’m on a ICE running 10 mins ahead of schedule 🤯

ICE 822 in München

@jon about a month ago my ICE from Amsterdam arrived in Frankfurt 16 minutes ahead of schedule. Quite confusing, because that was more or less the time it was supposed to leave Frankfurt Flughafen. Still not quite sure what happened. (I mean, there was clearly too much padding in the schedule that day, but why was it allowed to leave Flughafen early?)

Post uit de toekomst?

Misschien viel het je wel eens op: sommige post heeft een dagtekening die nog een aantal dagen in de toekomst ligt. Waarom is dit?

Het gaat soms over enorme aantallen brieven, dus we willen de printers wat ontzien en vooral ook die arme postbode.

Omdat iedereen genoeg tijd moet hebben om te reageren (die termijnen liggen ook vast in de wet) versturen we de post in batches, waarbij de laatste batch uiterlijk óp de datum van de dagtekening wordt bezorgd.

@OptimusPrime @belastingdienst @digigeek goed om te horen! Zodra die optie beschikbaar is maak ik er graag gebruik van, in het kader van het tegengaan van papierverspilling. Maar goed om papier te blijven aanbieden voor wie minder digitaal vaardig is, uiteraard.

Just spent another hour on the phone to energy provider ENGIE in France

I paid their invoice in March, but paid it the wrong way (by bank transfer instead of credit card or direct debit)

Today on the phone their employee straight up lied. "You paid it to the wrong account” Eh, thanks for that. You think I didn't check the number?

And no, I'm not going to pay €487 a second time because you're too incompetent to check your accounts and confirm I paid it the first time 😡

@vonneudeck @jon Indeed, SEPA credit transfers don’t seem to be popular in France. But still, they should be able to check their account statement to see that the payment has come in. It may require some more manual work than their preferred payment methods, but it can’t be that difficult…
