Who gets to decide which cars are immobilised? Police? Government? Every car in Canada switched off at Trump's whim?

I have certainly had hand completed Edmonson card tickets. Also, on one occasion, when travellig to Biggin Hill as a air cadet in 1968 I was issued an LNER third class forces ticket.

In influx of incomers can change a pronunciation. Chesham is invariably pronounced Chesh'm these days rather than the Chess'm used in the 50s.

I remember an incident hitting the national press where a woman went to pick up her husband's season ticket and the ticket clerk gave it a W stamp. Shock horror story about the "secret" stamp. My sister-in-law had a local authority funded season to travel to 6th form college. Her father told...

In my early IT days that was called an IBM floor sort

It looks like a plateway to me. Just using concrete rather than cast iron.

I have used TOTO three times. Twice in Oxford when forgetting my ENCTS card and once on Carousel for an early journey. For Oxford I was in a hotel next to the P&R. Inbound the tap off failed but the round trip still charged the P&R cap. I registered my card on the OBC app and the Carousrel...

We could argue over the boundaries but definitely not the former LB&SCR area.

That annoys me as well. On quiet days I have seen people push a fully loaded large trolley past a checkout with the cashier waiting in order to fiddle around in the self scan area. As somebody who had done a lot of security work at gigs in pre SIA days that does ring a few alarm bells for me...

If I let it find my nearest stop it works well I get the stop name without the locality but a search on the locality gives the stop. The only trouble is that it hyper-accurately gives me the nearest stop. If I need the stop on the other side if the road there is no obvious way to flip...

I have done a fair bit of work on specialist magazines and it reads to me like sloppy exiting when trimming the piece down to fit.

So a slight increase in disposable income for me at the expense of non drivers. The opposition would sell it as poor pensioners subsidising rich SUV owners.

About a quarter tank once or twice a decade.
