emfcamp

Did you know the EMF phone network is still running, and you can still dial things/receive calls using a SIP client #emfcamp

Ok I've been trying to not let this get to me but this is ridiculous

Did anyone else with a vehicle at #emfcamp get approached by a kid asking for a go claiming that they were trying to have a go on every vehicle at EMF?

They asked for a go on the C5 promising they'd be very short, to the end of the road and back, so I let them, thankfully I had the foresight to turn off the power and just let it be pedal powered

They got to the end of the road and continued, so I followed and lost them, and couldn't find them for 15 minutes when it turned back up at the Nottinghack village, they were very meek about where they had been and I just told them off, they smiled and asked if they could have another go and ofc that was a no

Fortunately for them, I didn't notice that the break assembly was LYING ON THE FUCKING FLOOR, being dragged by the cable, on closer inspection it has obviously been flipped and crashed on to it's left side with gouges out of the plastic body (these CANNOT BE REPAIRED)

I have just spent the night servicing it, and sigh, yeah, damage all down the left hand side, left rear wheel cover is chewed up when it was pretty pristine, break disk is buckled (thankfully this is a retrofit, but still, how tf do you do that) bits are missing (rear mast grommets and battery holder clip) and there's an issue with the motor I am still tracking down

This really made me reach my limit, does anyone know this kid? I want to at least get them reported to EMF

More thoughts on working in schools following my #EMFCamp talk.

Two blog posts in *one* day? I am certain that an influencer would tell me that I am doing Internet wrong, but there you go. Tomorrow I'll be back to work and you'll probably never see one again…
