Really not impressed by @OctopusEnergy export application process. About the most opaque, non-communicative process I've seen in years. Thus far, after sending my form into the ether I have had zero updates about it. Not even the promised initial e-mail to say "it's under way".

I miss the winter.
I miss the smell of those books.
I miss our old Macintosh.
I miss my dad.
My big web UX per peeve: failing to trim trailing whitespace automatically, and just complaining I entered something wrong. Seriously, trim has been a basic feature of most modern programming languages for decades. If you aren't doing this in your site, what's wrong with you?
If I ever get pulled over for speeding, I'll be sure to tell the police: "I know I was breaking the law, but I did it to boost morale, so it was essential."

When you put it like that…
“How do you feel about living in a country where the bloke who sold you Brexit, is now selling EU membership to a country he claimed got invaded by Russia because of the actions of the EU?”
Rule #1 of API development: Look at all the things Microsoft does with its Windows API... and don't do that!
