i've had enough panic moments out of signal area where my 'e-ticket' ends up just being a f
king screenshot in the camera roll. Not very 'e'.
Is this "camera roll" to which you refer in a Kodak box brownie? Because if it is on your phone unless your phone works very differently to mine I'd say it is the very definition of 'e'?king screenshot in the camera roll. Not very 'e'.wildoliver said:

Not very 'e'.Which in a big metal building is far from a given, and what should have been a 5-10 second "here's a print-out, scan it" becomes a 90-second "get phone out, unlock, find app, log in, try logging in again, navigate to page, wait for it to load, find the right screen, wait for it to load/download, present for scanning, it won't scan, try re-sizing screen, try scanning again, etc. etc." Repeat that across 50% of the 300 customers-per-hour they're trying to get through whatever gateway it is, and suddenly it takes 4 hours not 1 hour and you've ridiculous queues at peak times.
So instead you log in to the bloody app at home, waste your own 90 seconds or more, save a screenshot and then present that at the gateway...which removes all the alleged benefit and all the alleged security from the 'app' in the first place and you may as well use a print-out.

He means that the 'app' the vendor wants you to use has been developed on the cheap, requires you to re-log-in every 2 minutes, and requires a stable internet connection to function.

Couldn't you just print a screenshot and then stick that to the face of your phone? Don't even have to unlock it then.Which in a big metal building is far from a given, and what should have been a 5-10 second "here's a print-out, scan it" becomes a 90-second "get phone out, unlock, find app, log in, try logging in again, navigate to page, wait for it to load, find the right screen, wait for it to load/download, present for scanning, it won't scan, try re-sizing screen, try scanning again, etc. etc." Repeat that across 50% of the 300 customers-per-hour they're trying to get through whatever gateway it is, and suddenly it takes 4 hours not 1 hour and you've ridiculous queues at peak times.

"The time zone thing confuses me, I don't get it, what's the point?"
Depends on the context I guess. If it was from a “it’s just a number, it doesn’t matter if you get up at 1200 and go to bed at
0200” then I’m kind of in agreement.
If its “I don’t know that I live on a sphere rotating in orbit around a star, I’m more concerned”

now that is a worrying one. GMT everywhere would be easy for us, as we’d never have to think.
Never mind if it’s dark all day and light all night in those other places

"so what are we doing then, this, this or that?"
Me: "I've not really thought about it tbh"
"That's not very helpful" in an annoyed tone.
Me: "Well what are your thoughts then as its always me who has to make the decision?"
"erm, Errr... I don't know,"
FFS you make a decision once in a while, woman!

Her: "How about <suggested food> for tea?"Me: "Yes, that'd be nice"
Her: "Or we could have <suggests something else>"
Me: "No, the first one sounds good."
Evening arrives, she serves something completely different to either option.

If I go shopping (rare, isn't that what the Internet is for) and find what I want in the first shop I buy it and come straight home. Women, find what want in first shop, yes but may be something better somewhere else even though first shop one is perfect. Tour around more shops, with an obligatory coffee stop, then go back to first shop and buy first item 4 hours later with half a day wasted.

Yep, I think we have all experienced this. It's how they shop too.

"He 'nips out' for a newspaper on Sunday mornings, and it takes him an hour! I could walk to the shop quicker than that. I checked the mileage on his car one weekend and it had taken him 50 miles to get the newsagents and back! Then he spends the entire afternoon washing the car. The chap in Tescos carpark does it in less time than it takes to pick up my groceries and only charges a tenner. I caught him rubbing a lump of clay over it the other day, WTF?"
Mine likes to surprise me by randomly moving dinner time, even when it's been previously confirmed. I like to know so I can plan my evening, i.e. if dinner is in 15 mins then I won't start a DIY task; but if I've got an hour then I may get something done, so I can get my feet up earlier in the evening than if I did said task after dinner.
Last night I asked just after 5pm what time dinner was, to be told 6pm. Excellent, 45 mins to tidy the garage. 10 mins later, I get the shout dinner is ready.
Why can they not stick to the original plan!?
