    Things you don’t see outside any more

    Maybe not so much a bad thing but one thing we don’t see too much of these days is the “boy-racer” scene, think “Max Power”. Around 2005-2006 it was quite common to see cars such as the Vauxhall Nova and Citroen Saxo etc. That had been done up with racing stripes, loud exhaust and a body kit...

    Has anybody ever been stuck in a lift

    I haven’t ever been stuck in a lift, but I was trained on how to release doors if necessary when I was a maintenance manager at a nursing home. In 1999, in New York, This poor guy was stuck for 41 hours inside a lift. Doing so is usually forbidden as it may cause the whole thing to imbalance...

    Merseyrail now doing Ticket On Departure

    About time! This took way too long! Why couldn’t this have been a thing when I was really into my ‘bashing’ and train journeys? :lol: Many an extra journey to Chester/Liverpool to pick up TOD tickets. It often amazed me how this was never a thing on the Merseyrail network despite having the...

    How do taxi drivers remember most streets and places.

    I guess like any other person who drives, you become familiar with the area and you get to know the roads. To the point where you don’t require a sat-nav/map. I’m not sure regionally, but I know some (if not all) taxi drivers are required to take a test that demonstrates their geographical...

    Things you don’t see outside any more

    Another thing you certainly see less of these days is kids playing out in the street. Also, the red elastic bands that the postman used to discard. I can recall going round my estate once a week looking for these and within a month made myself a rubber band ball the size of a tennis ball. :lol...
