Haha I have photos of that very same camper too!

You can probably tell which one was my iPhone photo and which ones were the official press pictures…

There is a smattering of snow atop parked cars, but not the much-promised blizzard.

Just in case you hadn’t seen the news, or the rest of BlueSky:

White stuff is falling from the sky.

I’d say it’s more like sleet - a solid 2/10 here in CV22.

I’m attending my third awards event in as many weeks, having joined VW a fortnight ago.

Tonight, it’s the @logisticsuk.bsky.social Awards, courtesy of a kind invite from The AA.

In my 20+ year tech PR career, it’s the *genuinely kind people* who have staying power. πŸ†

The self-absorbed a-holes have a funny habit of (poof! πŸ’¨) disappearing quickly in tough times.

Being a *nice person* is the soft skill I value most as a founder.

This is the way ✊

β€˜Tis the season for awards, but I still wasn’t expecting to be named an EV Communications Leader by ElectricDrives!

Lovely to be acknowledged for my storytelling in the commercial vehicle sector. Thanks to Green TV media for the recognition.

You had to disappear for a train! I wasn’t trying to avoid you - I promise. I’ll be in touch re: Transporter launch.

Today, the first press release went out from "Jamie at VW" 😊

I know I'm biased, but it's a pretty good story - New Transporter prices and specs announced!

The TDI Panel Van starts from Β£30,995, while it's Β£41,965 for the fully electric eTransporter.

Full story ➑️

ID.Buzz concept from 2017 made it to production pretty much unscathed too.

Just the usual suspects (door handles, wing mirrors) and the main visual change was the pillars going from white to black.

Gives me hope for the ID.2all 🀞🏻

That is very much her argument. I was born in the South and have moved (migrated?) north to the Midlands, so I am still a Southerner.

Thanks very much for collating this.

My other half is a Northerner (from actual North Yorkshire) and she will fight you on this point. In her view, I am very much a Southerner…

As a resident of the aforementioned town, may I just clarify that Rugby is not in the North… I live in the Midlands, and am therefore neither a Southerner, nor a Northerner (much as I’d like to be one of the latter)

Out of interest, how many Jaguar customers have ever sniffed a Growler?
