Working at Carshalton till 1 pm Sunday, then need to find a quickish way of getting from Wallington area to Fleet for a show at The Harlington. Due to the engineering works and replacement buses, putting East Croydon to Fleet into a journey planner throws up conplicated routes with multiple...

Alcohol, meat, coffee, washing powders and liquids, chocolate, cheese. Don’t know about other supermarkets but Sainsburys also tag cans of red bull with security lids that the cashier or checkout runner remove when you pay. My nearby Sainsburys local had regular thieves who would just pick up...

Nerina Pallot last night at Royal Albert Hall, whilst I don’t begrudge her taking the opportunity to play there something about it just didn’t work for me and I feel perhaps she works better in smaller venues. Tonight I’m down at Circuit in Kingston for Keither Sutherland.

I’ve left the coach early once, when delays meant I would miss the start of the event I was travelling to by the time the coach reached my destination, so I left early and took a train for the remainder of the journey.

Was at the Sunderland game yesterday, atmosphere was electric, never thought I’d see us qualify for Europe. Not only that, we did the double over Newcastle and Chelsea and the only team we took no points from was Fulham…..not bad when most people thought we’d struggle and go straight down again...

In the first breath you said that the diversion is at the service controllers discretion, I get that, then in the second breath you said that they were diverted yesterday, which wasn’t the case for all of them. I’ll leave it there.

As I posted, the bus I took yesterday followed the usual route. Also it stopped at stop K, turned left and then stopped again at the regular stop.

That’s what I read but there’s still temporary traffic lights and single alternate line traffic in place.

Waiting for an SL7 at Carshalton High Street this morning, arrived full and standing with people jammed right up to the drivers cab. Driver kept front doors closed, opened the central exit doors and around half a dozen got off, then he motioned to us to use the central doors to board. Managed to...

I ordered an item then had an email from Evri with delivery options, which included having it delivered to an Evri locker, so I selected that. Day of delivery came, I was home, no one knocked or rang the bell, phone went off with an Evri text, package delivered. Opened my front door and found it...

Posted this one before, travelling from Eastleigh to Croydon on the return half of a Brighton to Southampton not via London off peak return. Ticket wouldn’t work the gate: Gateline attendant: “Southampton-Brighton? Where have you come from”? Me: “Clapham, I’m breaking my journey” “Good...

Having run out of bread due to an oversight on my part I went to the nearby Co-Op. There was hardly any bread or morning goods on the shelves. A lad was replenishing other grocery stock, so I said “you’re a bit light on bread aren’t you”? He replied “ We’ve had the delivery but there’s no one to...

That’s the thing, I’m reading conflicting reports from various sources as to whether he has to resign as mayor in order to be allowed to stand, or only if he stands and wins. That’s assuming they don’t block him from standing again of course:

Yes, you claim the coupon through the My Sky app, the offer changes weekly and is for a specific product each week. It’s usually, but not always, a Taste The Difference product, the products on offer have included pizzas, ice cream, ice lollies and cookies.

The weekly Sky coupons for a free Taste The Difference product at Sainsburys are usually released on Wednesdays. Went to check what this weeks offer is yesterday, which turned out to be ice lollies. However it said “it looks like the coupons are on their way but they’re not quite ready yet...

Well I appreciate it takes time to set things up and remove them but I just couldn’t see it needing two days.

As this concerns roads I guess this is the most appropriate place to ask this. Just received my weekly TFL travel advice email which included the fact that, until 6:00pm on Friday May 15th, Abingdon Street will be closed between Parliament Square and Great Peter Street to support the State...

25th July to 31st August……I work Sundays so that’ll save me £1.75 on the return fare, but only for the first four weeks, as after that I’ll qualify for my over 60 Oyster……guess I’ll have to make a few extra bus trips on the Saturdays.

Today I was waiting for a 93 at The Polka Theatre stop in Wimbledon and noticed a 213 timetable in the display panel…..any other examples of a timetable for a route that doesn’t serve the stop being displayed there? (nb: existing rotes only, not routes that once served the stop and have been...

An example being “New Malden, The Fountain”, which is now “New Malden, Fountain Roundabout”
