I studied hard till 1am and got A grades at A level in Maths, Further Math, Physics and Chemistry. Despite being the first person in my family to get into university (one of the top few in the country) and graduating, I spent 1 year unemployed, then 10 years in a call centre. I got a basic...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/49078568 https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/49078563 Back in July 2019 I remember the temperature in Leeds reaching 37C - in those days for me it was a half hour walk, half hour train, 15-minute walk, half hour bus ride, 15-minute walk to work and...

I should have said that there are many households now own 3+ cars, all less than 10 years old, and parked on the street often outside other people's houses. Is it fair that a household with no car has to look out at a neighbour's car, especially one that is leaking oil because the owner "can't...

Maybe we need to look at this differently and not be scared of the motorist. For example, there are now many households with 2, 3, 4 or even 5 cars, sometimes more cars than people. A windfall tax or maybe increased road tax for households with 2 or more cars to make people think about the...

With house prices surging ahead by more than 20% in 2 years. Rent prices up by nearly 20% in 2 years. I lost my permanent job last August and despite nearly 2000 job applications, I found that the jobs market in Leeds and Bradford is almost non-existent. I found out this week that I lose my...

Whenever trains have had issues around Leeds (and probably other cities / towns) in recent times, the roads can become gridlocked at various times due to the train passengers driving all the way instead of parking at their local station. 1655314744 Combine this with the Arriva bus strike in...

Yes, part pf the ZEBRA funding - page 11 of the attached suggests 662 + the airport services A1, A2 and A3 https://www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/media/8305/zebra-fbc-redacted.pdf Harrogate should also get ZEBRA vehicles for the 36 and 7.

The 662 (and its predecessors 662 to 669 in the 1990s) experiences varying levels of traffic congestion. When I used to catch this route in the 1990s and early 2010s, there could often be gaps of 20 to 30 minutes at times in the 1990s (in the 10 minute frequency). The bypass being opened and...

What I have noticed is that some of the customer focus at Northern can be lacking sometimes (something which has shown on occasion since late 2015). For example today, my train was cancelled due to "more trains than usual awaiting repair". During the hour that I waited for the next one, the...

We hear often about how people are living off the basics and fail to manage. I'm just about managing, living off one tin of 31p spaghetti per day and wearing 5 layers of clothes in winter. What we don't hear about is the winners from the system. For example, I have seen nearby households go...

Transdev seem to have a few in use at Harrogate, Keighley, Burnley and Blackburn - those that have been refurbished feel newer though and some have private plates. Harrogate have V69MOA and W118DOP that occasionally make it on to services 7 and 8. Keighley has several of the Y-HRN batch...

Had a quick look at bustimes.org for this service for 27th April (random date after 24th April). Its description is (the same description applies today also). 144 - Catshill, Green Ln - Worcs Bus Stn however times are still shown as hourly into Birmingham on that date. Does this mean that...

I judge the price of petrol by how busy the roads are and it can often take ten minutes to cross my local B road sometimes (even on a Sunday), and it seems to be getting busier.

My personal experience is that the housing market is very strong at present. I was looking to get on the housing ladder in March 2020 (before lockdown 1). Since then I've noticed that house prices are up by 20% and tend to sell within one or two weeks of being listed on the market. This combined...

They are saying that immunity apparently begins to wane after 10 weeks which could mean as many as 5 per year. I don't think the NHS would be able to cope with this though but may be pressured into it.

It is only one week since Plan B was implemented, recommending several restrictions like work from home where possible. Also the school holidays start this week. Many people have cancelled parties etc over the past 7 days or so and are using lateral flow tests regularly to protect christmas day...

"Boris wants this christmas to be better than the last one so please be a good variant and stop spreading for a week" I think that a lockdown is probably too late if implemented now, let alone in a week's time and will do too much damage in terms of mental health, business viability and so on...

Martin Niemoller's poem seems more relevant now than ever First they came for the media but I did not speak out because I'm not part of the media Then the opposition ... Then the migrants ... Then the people who are against mandatory vaccines Then they came for me 1639576491 Waiting for a...

Sounds like it could be happening a lot.
