Anybody else not got this stream thing in the Octopus app? I didn't get the scratch card thing that is supposed to start today either. I have checked Google Play store for a app update but there is none. On the plus side the Octopus app is finally taking control of my OHME Home Pro charger.
 
My Tesla is getting picked up to get a light repair done to the boot after someone read ended me. Only a minor scratch and dent you have to really look for to see but I see it's there and it annoys me.

Anyway, my hire car is a BMW I4 Gran Coupe. I've only moved it from the drive to park my car a bit better and I honestly hate it. The small windscreen and solid roof makes it feel so bloody cramped.

i got my scratch card today.... a free sweet bun / cake from Lidl :)

(I have to create an account and install the Lidl app but..... it's free cake ! :D. )

it's the 1st time I got anything from octopus for a while as usually the freebies are all gone.

quick question about the stream / fish thing for consecutive plug ins. .
(btw you only need to plug in every other day if you start before midnight and leave over night)

is there any actual reason to do it in terms of rewards or is it just a gamified thing to unlock the best fish?

Same. I occasionally got a free Greggs coffee in the past but that always ended up costing me the price of a sausage and bacon baguette and a pack of Yum Yums :o

That was always the idea behind it :p

It’s a bit like the £8 national trust day out vouchers. If your using the voucher, you probably were not going to go because your not a member so they are £8 up already. Likewise you’ll end up buying tea and cake while you are there like a good middle class pleb coming to marvel at how the ruling class live.

"Your £8 Family Day Pass can only be used once, up to and including 10th September 2026 and will be marked as redeemed once you have entered your chosen place. Excluded dates are the 29th to 31st August 2026"

Bank holiday weekend excluded. Typical :p
