Knowsley seems to be the second choice after Wolves for out of town registration. Don't know why - they've obviously both got some advantage over local registration but the fact that so many are Wolves suggests they've got the biggest advantage, so I don't know why you'd choose Knowsley over...

I'm surprised I've not seen much comment on this: Surely it would be fairly straightforward for the procedure of using a ramp to include notifying the driver that it's happening, and then notifying them that the ramp has been removed and they can start the dispatch process?

There's not, but there's no procedure that can offer that certainty and you have to have something. I read somewhere yesterday that Heath and Clement Atlee are the only people who that's the case for in terms of the whole of their premiership (as opposed to, for example, Harold Wilson who did...

The detail of the test specifically being whether the Today programme is broadcasting makes it sound like something someone's made up to mess with a journalist. Do nuclear strikes only happen between 6 and 9 am?

The link above says that Bury-Altrincham services are running until 6.30, which will be fine for me. Yes - getting there from Bury won't be an issue, it's more a question of getting back without having to queue for ages.

Hmm, I was planning to head into town on Saturday (from Bury) but this makes it look awkward. Looking at it, my best bet would be to come back from St Peter's Square (or maybe even Castlefield) - does that sound about right? Or maybe drive to Ladywell and go in from there.

It's obviously not a lot in the overall context of London commuting but if you ever travel on the Clippers during the evening rush hour you'll see plenty of commuters - most of them won't be paying attention to the view, they'll be in the inside seats with a paper or looking at their phone. If...

Especially if you've got a "Spend £X and get £Y" off coupon - once you've got everything you were planning to buy it's nice and easy to see whether it's worth sticking however many more items in to get over the threshold.

Sorry to dredge up an old post like this, but why would the fare revenues increase the subsidy? Shouldn't they be subtracted from it?

But why would you use that when you can just drop someone off on Railway Terrace, or if the free parking spots there are full (and the driver doesn't want to pull up to let the passenger out on the yellow lines, which is in practice what most would actually do) on one of the side streets off...

As someone who used to commute on the Northern City Line in the 2010s I'm assuming it was the opportunity to roll in late for work and very plausibly blame the trains.

Is there some kind of paper issued to let you complete your journey in the Netherlands? Presumably a UK e-ticket wouldn't be accepted on the Rotterdam metro. I've not done the route since the line at Hoek was converted to metro - what entitlement for travel in the Netherlands is still part of...

I more interpreted that as essentially saying that even if it is true it doesn't in any way excuse what happened, so it's not (for the purposes of sentencing) worth worrying about whether it's true or not. If it is true (and I don't believe for a second that it is) then the victim should be...

They didn't "lean into it". They reported it, accurately, as a thing that was said during the trial, just as they did the comments of the prosecuting counsel, the victim and the judge. These are all things that one would expect to find in a report of a court case. There is nothing in the quoted...

Did I say there should be no criticism at all of the media? I recommend reading to the end of a sentence before replying to it.

I'm no fan of Reach, but there shouldn't be any criticism attached to them for simply reporting what happened in a court case.

Not sure why you'd say that, it looks big enough to qualify to me. I love a good Polski Sklep - one of the things I miss most about London since moving away is that there aren't as many big Eastern European supermarkets round here.

Well, thank goodness for their spotless reputation Yes, volunteering does tend to require taking time to do unpaid work. I'm not sure what the issue is there. Do banks not still charge for cash deposits to a business account? When I worked in a bookies 35 years ago I used to go with the...

Thank you!

What makes Liverpool South Parkway inappropriate for it?
