    Notice of intention to prosecute. Help please

    Speak to customer services AND get legal advice (can get this from either the CAB or if you happen to be a member of the Cooperative Group, they offer free legal advice) in case they still pursue legal action. It might be worth trying to demonstrate this is a one off, it is in my opinion a...

    Breakfast on Trains

    I kind of agree with you on the first class, but by the same token, I think the difference between first class and standard should be such that people on not much above a normal wage can at least once in a while use it affordably. I don't like the notion that anything on a train is off limits to...

    Why are connections not held? (a rant)

    I think part of the problem here is to maintain punctuality figures, and EMT is very proud of their punctuality figures it seems, and I will grant it to EMT, their punctuality is good!

    New "One nation" Labour catchphrase

    I would quite agree. I am very much a fan of devolution and for that matter, more localised government, with Westminster focusing on more specific national issues. I am no fan of centralising the majority of the power at all. Far to open to abuse, rather I just prefer to see more and better...

    Blackberry services question

    I have found sometimes I can use BIS without having a specific BIS feature on some networks. However, if she hasn't got BIS on her contract, it will most likely just be a case of phoning up Orange, removing her current internet add-on and replacing with a BIS one. Exactly what I did with...
