    Wilko's goes into Administration

    Being town/city centre is proving a disadvantage for Wilko. Sky high rents and business rate and falling footfall.

    XC have re vinyled 3 x Power cars at Laira

    Do you know how much difference that money being spent elsewhere would make on the service? Almost none. It’s statistically insignificant.

    Trivia: Artists only known for one song

    Alice Cooper also had a hit with Poison. I think most people could mention Money by Pink Floyd. 1690796578 Cyndi Lauper had a hit with time after time. Shakey was well known for Green Door and This Ole House And Kylie has so many hits that I can’t get her out of my head.

    Out of all rolling stock existing today, which do you think will survive the longest?

    The 450/444 certainly will.

    Cricket

    There is no Duckworth Lewis for test matches thankfully and whilst I’m sad because Australia retain the ashes, the correct result was a draw.

    Formula 1

    Disagree. Yes he was quicker than McLaren but he said they were pushing him and it wasn’t easy. Particularly at the end.

    I’ve been a coffee drinker for much longer than that.

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    I think that was also directed at O’Brien.

    Good. Riddance.

    Class 43 disposals

    Probably because they are all in bad shape. I seem to recall that EMR weren’t happy with the sets they inherited from LNER.

    Is Fenchurch Street the only London Terminus that has never had any regular diesel hauled trains or DMUs?

    Bank. As a Terminus of the Waterloo and City railway (part of the LSWR and remaining outside of the London Underground until BR was privatised)

    How do you get back from failure?

    First off if you have any suicidal thoughts, please talk to someone about it. My uni life was a disaster. I failed and dropped out. I made the conscious decision to make the best of what I’ve got. I have progressed the hard way and am a senior engineer. I still don’t have a degree.

    Government spending £8 million on portraits of the King for schools, police stations and council offices

    Agreed. I’m an ex councillor and there was a picture of the Queen in the town hall. Never noticed one in schools though.

    Brexit matters

    Hmmm according to the ONS Brexit has a 4% negative on GDP. 0.08% is a drop in the ocean.

    Which timezone should the UK be in?

    Point of order we adopt BST from the last weekend of March to the last weekend of October. It has never been BST in November.

    Intersex Train on SWR

    In the past yes. But awareness grew that this was the wrong thing to do and it was better for people to embrace being left handed. That awareness and tolerance people may call virtue signalling or being woke. 1680111417 Agreed. Really? You’re asking that this week. 1680111819 Rubbish...

    Intersex Train on SWR

    I like that. Really nice for SWR to show inclusion like that. Will have been fairly cheap to do and quick.

    GB News

    Owned by parliament so of course the Tories will sanction it. 1679751010 Hmmm. GBeebies thinks they can keep those presenters going by just telling them to be impartial. Problem is the chair of Ofcom is a Tory.
