A couple of online feedback comments suggest undesirables hanging around outside, also people being loud in the courtyard late into the night. Plus the usual comments about slow service or not enough staff to attend to something. I didn't leave the hotel between arrival early evening (no...

The machine receptionist still has the three basic options. Has anyone stayed at the Preston Central PI? Quite close to the station and with a mysterious (in use) sixth floor. Lift buttons go to 6, the plastic plate listing room numbers goes to 5xx, which is the 'Premier Plus' floor. Also one...

Cottam Parkway Thanks to @pr1 news that funding for Cottam Parkway has now been agreed. Overall cost now a mere £56.6m, with the Government providing £28.4m and Lancashire Combined County Authority £28.2m. First trains potentially December 2030 (previously given as '2030 at the latest'). Link...

Do Cardiff Bus use the same software? A journey I looked up a couple of weeks ago only gave the day ticket price and not the single fare. A return trip would be capped at that day ticket price but some people do make single journeys.

Attached is a picture of the 'double lock' sticker applied to Premier Inn rooms. This one in the very recently opened Premier Inn Manchester Northern Quarter - just a couple of minutes from Shudehill. Picture shows the internal door hand with a sticker stating "turn to double lock".

A thread has been created here discussing this proposal.

For this specific case, not many. Just the four this time around. Of interest is that the case was continued 'for a different sheriff' on 7 August and here we are on the 20th with the same case listed for the same sheriff.

To take the caption text below the video clip in the BBC article: Really? If someone doesn't get fresh orange juice with their breakfast, it's not a CEO matter. If a serious sexual assault takes place it should be straight up the management chain very quickly indeed. I would suggest this case...

I stayed in a Premier Inn earlier this week and there was a sticker on the inside of the door, above the lock, pointing out the deadlock and to turn the knob to use it*. I haven't seen this before. *Not the exact wording! 1787218788 Not to victim blame but there are people who don't lock...

It is on my watch list, delivery was said to be 'by the end of the decade', which is vague but fast approaching.

I've had a delve. The feature appears in the same 'menu' as that to turn off alerts. On mine: Settings Notifications Emergency Alerts Emergency Alert History As an aside, it lists 'extreme alerts' (extreme threat to life and property) and 'severe alerts' (severe threats to life and property)...

Did everyone get the verbal version as well as the text? I can't remember what happened with the test message. Secondly, surely it would be better if the message stayed on the phone for future re-reading. Especially if it has links to more detailed information, numbers to call etc. You could...

Go to 32°49'43.6"N 13°06'41.5"E on Google and click on the label 'DSB IC4 i Libyen', a historical landmark it says! The link shows a four-car multiple unit.

For reasons I wouldn't know, the tourist hotspot of Penrhiwceiber is having a toilet installed. The locals view, talking between themselves, was that it would spend most of its time out of order. I wasn't taking detailed notes, but if I recall correctly: Treorchy toilet was under construction...

I admire your enthusiasm and that of the promoters. I wish it every success but cannot bring myself to accept that it will not simply die a death by a thousand tweakings and cuts over the five year period and then mostly disappear. The 65/66 was hourly for a while from Buxton. There was an...
