Hi guys, I rarely flog my own blog markbakerprague.com/. It's part travel (lots of Prague and Central Europe), but also daily life, history, music, architecture, and some wacky true spy stories (involving yours truly). Please give it a look (and a share) if you're so inclined. – at Prague, Czech Republic
It's even more fun blocking advertisers here, now that they have a popup begging you to upgrade to the premium service to stop advertising. The real premium service is knowing who they are so you can avoid their products.

Abominable service from @Avis.
We rented a car from them in France in May and have just a letter saying they’ve taken €80 from us for a speeding fine incurred in March.
I am five emails down with different people and still no resolution. Kafkaesque. Will not use them again.
Time to set out my political manifesto before going into voluntary exile from this platform. On the spot capital punishment for anyone caught riding a silly shared scooter, driving a 4x4 in a city, not stopping at a pedestrian crossing or being @BorisJohnson. That is all.
