Random Irritations

Working on a survey 25 miles off the east coast of England. If we went in to our nearest port I would have a 25 minute taxi ride and be at home. But they've decided to go in to a port in the Netherlands which means I've got an hour to the airport, a flight home and then another hour in a taxi at the other end. Balls!

The only good thing is that I get an exemption from having to quarantine for 14 days when I get home.

Similar thing happened a few times to me, Helicopter from Invergordon back to Aberdeen when it’s only 20mins back to Inverness ??
Also got diverted to Inverness airport due to fog in Aberdeen, they wanted to put me on the bus back to Aberdeen or I wouldn’t get paid, I got a taxi home ?
 
IT. Put a simple request to our IT department to set up a new group distribution list with me as the administrator to add/delete names as required. Hardly the most earth shattering technological request but so far it's over 24 hours and they have screwed up the name of the list despite it being in bold in the email and the viewed name when delivered. Very poor and not helped each time you phone the helpdesk you speak to a different operator. I can see a more direct and blunt approach at 6.30 tomorrow morning
 
About 2-3 weeks ago the tyre pressure sensor on my car advised I had lost pressure on my front left tyre. It was only just under so I blew it back to the correct level and reset the system. It pinged again this morning, same tyre. I went to a local tyre guy and despite their best efforts they couldn't find any form of leak. There is something not right but they can't fix what they can't find.

Is the wheel rim corroded, or the valve stem not tight enough?

It's a very well known problem with Skoda's as most of our taxi fleet has the same issues. Six out of eight cars.

The rim doesn't look corroded and the tyre man had a good look at the valve and said it was okay. He sprayed some funky liquid on it that was supposed to show any air leak bubbling. Nothing happened. He went over the rims twice and took extra care to look there as I guess if it isn't the tyre then that is next up.

Hopefully Norrin can help with his taxi fleet experience ?
