Probably not. Residents might have seen the orange, four‐wheeled robots struggling to navigate the double‐ parked pavements of Filton, as Just Eat launched their new robotics trial in mid February. The trial follows in the footsteps, or tyre marks, of Switzerland, where nearly 1,000 deliveries have already been completed, and Just Eat claims that robot and drone technology has significant advantages to delivering to remote areas....Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0100https://filtonvoice.co.uk/2026/03/30/did-somebody-say-fish-and-chips-delivered-by-robots/https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IhR42M6vHrsNnWYlf8RlLgJ_VCyeF17k/view?usp=sharingThu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IhR42M6vHrsNnWYlf8RlLgJ_VCyeF17k/view?usp=sharinghttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1jPm7hAPuoHv6V3elQ8eLVZOmmdgPGUde/view?usp=sharingThu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jPm7hAPuoHv6V3elQ8eLVZOmmdgPGUde/view?usp=sharinghttps://open.substack.com/pub/lucyfrost/p/the-drag-dungeoneers-review?r=2zxmvp&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueThe Drag Dungeoneers had me literally crying with laughter. Whether you’re a loyal Dungeons and Dragons fan or a complete newcomer, this live improv show is an absolute riot of a time. From start to finish, the drag queens play out a fantastical D&D style adventure. Using an erratic combination of unscripted humour, mayhem and utter silliness, this show is not to be missed.
