I stayed at the County Hotel again last week (see #73 above) and did have the breakfast this time which led me to discover an amazing piece of railwayana in the lobby next to the lifts (picture attached). The free breakfast was OK - a help-yourself full english buffet no less! It's not the...

There's an article in the MEN today about the possibility of further expanding Metrolink Trams onto rail lines. (Insert :-) or :-( depending on your point of view) I'm not familiar with the "pioneering bid to run trams on train tracks in Yorkshire" but I'm thinking the only scope for this in...

It it just me thinking that you may want to avoid any FCC RPI's as you may end up with a "fine" for either of: correctly not filling in the date box fillling in the date box incorrectly :-)

I can do it on my Android HTC, but you have to add the number you want to block to "People" first, and then you can block that person.

The 27th August tour now back on, to be run independently by Gas Hill. This is no longer a BLS production, and is open to all. Officially it starts/finishes at Motherwell, but using Riviera stock from Crewe, the positioning moves will also be available for those wishing to join at/return...

Someone suggested it was Shawford in Hampshire, but I don't believe it :-)

Also see The most comprehensive freely available listing of steam and modern traction railtours available on the web :-)

Couple of years maybe? They were those ones where you scratched the date off and folded the sticky-backed-plastic cover over when I last bought one! -- Edit -- http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/articleimages/Saveaway%20Jan%2011.pdf says the old "scratch and sniff" tickets still exist but are...

Top tip - buy it from the Merseyrail MtoGo shop at the entrance to the Low Level Station at Lime Street. Last time I queued up at the ticket office for one in the main station, they didn't have any! If you are going in the week and you fancy a blast of fresh air, the Saveaway is valid on the...

Website fixed, managed to book this morning :-)

Remember when Pontins was featured on Watchdog and they weren't even sorry... ZpNxEa3l210 ivOxiS7dB9A

Seems to be fully booked already :-(

It happens a lot in my industry too (aka "Blamestorming" :-(). In the old days, I'd go on site to fix something, and because it was probably just on the edge of failing completely and hadn't been switched off for a while, just the process of restarting it would cause a major outage, for which...

There are more examples in our favourite newspaper: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2141711/Rail-idiots-The-people-diced-death-taking-shortcut-train-tracks-survived--50-year-lucky.html It must be an ongoing problem at Leeds as they have signs on the platform edges about not crossing...

True, but many of these "specialist agencies" are just "Civil Recovery" companies, some of whom use "speculative invoicing" in the same way that the parking companies do.

Ah, that old chestnut :roll: I think it does tell me you aren't able to make a reasoned argument!

I dunno, from my side of the argument, the analogies seems to be working quite well :-)

Err, so why did you bother with your "re-arranged example"? Sounds like some furious back-pedaling to me!

You seem to have omitted the fact that the "working self scan machine" that I took "a brief look at" wouldn't let me pay for what I wanted, which is perhaps why I sought assistance from a member of staff.

As you keep asking hypothetical questions, my hypothetical answer is that maybe Tesco would take a more realistic and pragmatic approach to the heinous loss of 10p and, being more customer focused, and knowing that I could take my business elsewhere, say "that's OK"? Perhaps with a friendly...
