I'm happy with the taxes I pay, what I can't agree with is how we're being fleeced elsewhere, everything else is so sky high. Profiteering from rent, insurance, utilities, food, public transport, everything costs so much more than I feel it should. Landlords pay off their mortgage, every penny...

They're not crowing about it because so many in Government and in the Commons are landlords themselves and, although welcome, rights don't reduce what many feel are exploitative rents, which would likely lead to more complaints and protests about it, hence them not drawing much attention to it.

Has it? I seem to remember the previous administration blaming the one before that for 14 years, even right up till the time they were jettisoned, and voters of a certain demographic still lapped it up and nodded sagely

Reading the increasingly batsh*t crazy posts and comments on social media of those that support Reform, I have often thought the same. Just so those that blindly follow him get a handle on reality, not the fantasy world he promotes. They simply can't blame everything that's wrong with country on...

I have been through to Glasgow today for work. Today on both occasions and on my previous two trips there, I've had the same connection issues between my iPod and my Bluetooth earbuds while on the concourse. Just wondering if there's a known interference problem there and if anyone else has...

Yeah, the 1995/96 season, away fans were banned from the Tyne/ Wear derby for their own safety 1761053433 Is there an Asian Song Contest that they've been excluded from too then? Would that be your reasoning behind why they take part in Eurovision? I'm not going, but this is the advice we've...

I'm afraid to say that she's 36 1761052352 And to prevent me from having a coronary, that was a lot less than half of it

Stepdaughter is staying with us at the moment, sleeping on one of our sofas. The biggest mistake I ever made in my life. She refuses to help around the house, is living out of the carrier bags she brought with her and continues to bring into the flat, criticises more or less how we do...

Who told him that was a good idea? Who told him the video where he draws a sword with people kneeling for him was a good idea? Why haven't world leaders contacted him and said 'that's f***ing ridiculous, stop being a tw*t'? What ambassador, world leader, person of power and responsibility does...

I'll admit it's been a while since I have been to the post office there and having just checked on Google Maps, I can see it's an Elizabeth II box. I would like to find out what the gold coloured plaque next to it says, hopefully I can check it out next time I'm down home. Looking at the...

There's an Edward VIII box outside the post office in Chester le Street. I always believed it was very rare, but that seems not to be the case reading one of your replies above

We must make sure that that is the least that happens in the next election. Just as with the EU Referendum, sitting back and assuming that all will be fine is a dangerous policy

I had my first trip over the rails of the above yesterday, and I didn't see a bit of it :'( We travelled from London to Edinburgh, leaving Kings Cross at 4:30pm. Aware of the work at Darlington and of the alert that bus replacements were being laid on, I thought the timetable meant we'd be on...

But but but, there will always be the Reform/ Farage schtick of blaming someone else for the mess/ inability to change anything and unfortunately, the intellectually challenged will believe them without question, in fact, some of them will lap it up

Their oath is to the constitution, not the President. There's no doubt whatsoever that they'll be put under immense pressure to carry out his bidding, but every single one of them should have the confidence to refuse. Just the 1205 days left to endure till the world has seen the last of this...

I've just got back to Queen Street for the train home after a work visit to Glasgow and they're currently berthed in Platform 5

Morning all, spotted these parked up on platform 17 at Waverley this morning, a sorry looking pair of ever there was. I see from 125Group they 'belong' to Rail Adventure, can't imagine they're there for service

Just booked via the presale for Iron Maiden in Amsterdam next year. Total paid, with fees and Non Sterling fee: £160.00 ONE ticket for their Knebworth gig: £127.50 before fees A no brainer!

My father was caught just around the bend up ahead here on the attached screenshot from Google Maps. He approached the corner at around 30mph The corner is tighter than it looks on the picture, as he rounded the corner, there was a cyclist in a low down recumbent type cycle. Performing an...

He might have to (and I wish he would) if the press go after him over his stamp duty 'mishap' like they did with Rayner over hers. Kuenessssssbbbberg (I know) got him rattled yesterday, as did Beth Rigby, met with beligerence and anger to both, rather than acceptance and deflection.
