Grocery Apps Hoped to Win Over Amsterdam. Then Things Turned Sour
The "dark stores" that popped up in Dutch cities have triggered turf wars with residents and citywide crackdowns.
Keep seeing ads around London for rapid shopping delivery services I’ve never heard of. Giving me flashbacks to New York pre dot com crash with Kosmo and Urban Fetch..
It's a sunny long Easter weekend here in London - a chance for a change of scene, a clearing of heads as lockdown continues. Remember: lockdown fatigue is a real thing, so treat yourself with kindness - you got this! nytimes.com/2021/04/03/bus…
Interesting article on how Amazon’s investment into Deliveroo stopped it failing, but at what cost? wired.co.uk/article/delive…

Amazon took a chunk of Deliveroo. Then things got interesting
In less than a year Deliveroo went from the bust to boom. Amazon saved it – but at what cost?
It seems worrying to me that in this age of 'open' data, that cronyism and contracts without open tender run rife in our government - especially when it comes to our health: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I get that @uberEats and other delivery companies want to be efficient but when a delivery bike has picked up a pizza and then cycled in the opposite direction away from your home as far away again for 10 mins then back right past the restaurant I question their logic.
Huge ups to @PunchdrunkUK for the mesmerizing #TheThirdDayLive and to #JudeLaw for his masterful performance with epic spade work. Beautifully shot and near perfect in less than ideal weather. Will be wondering for days if the mud soaked camera and table rave angles were planned

LONDON: The only people who should use public transport are those who absolutely have to go to work because they can’t do their jobs from home. To everyone else - PLEASE STAY AT HOME and do not use public transport. #COVID19
I'm not advocating uncontrolled panicking. If you panic for more than a couple of hours, you will exhaust yourself and you may well not have to energy to panic later, when you really feel you have to So try about 20 minutes panicking at 11.00 am, and then another spell at 6.00pm

Best way to #stayHealthy is to regularly wash your hands with soap and hot water. Plus don’t touch things that everyone touches.. like touch screen ePOS. It would be great if all shops got their staff to regularly sanitize the screens.. @Tesco @sainsburys @waitrose etc..
It’s 02/02/2020 so happy #PalindromeDay everyone! See you all at the next one in 2121...
