generally feeling A1 today. planning a skinflint holiday in france.

@onedifference anyway, forget it. I'm no longer interested in wasting my time trying to talk to you.

@onedifference I have asked you for simple information about the effectiveness given the publicity, all I got in return was abuse.

*what-eva*

OK, I'm tired of this. I'm lacking in experience so can't criticise, but not so lacking in experience that I can't work for free?

@laurencecooper ha s'good there.

@mjray seems he'd rather attack me than sort out the well documented issues with the #playpumps that they support.

that isn't just being negative, that is expecting a charity who is interested in clean water provision to actually be interested in it.

truth is that @onedifference is a faulty model. it has nothing to do with me, it is your responsibility to sort it out.

so, if I'd bought a faulty product, I'd be expected to suggest improvements would I? you're being irrational @markspall

@markspall what is your motivation? how many things do you give professional advice to for no money?

@markspall I'm sorry mate, you are funding a failing technology and you want someone to suggest alternative to you for free.

'helping with solutions' in this context meaning 'willing to work for nothing'.

@markspall interested, yes. working to do your work for you, no.

@Coventry_Police more interested that there is an easy way to contact the local police for advice etc in real time.

@Coventry_Police in general, I think the blog is less useful than the twitter feed, though in all honesty both give limited useful info.

@Coventry_Police been thinking of constructive criticism for your blog and twitter feed...

@tmamone ok - as a listener, the length and lack of editing is highly offputting.

@markspall if you have no budget, I'd suggest it is your responsibility to do this work yourselves.
