For someone who's not familiar with the area really, could you briefly explain what's bad about the map please? Appreciate it's not direct but I assume no one is doing the full journey from Tesco to... Tesco!

Keep us updated as well - assuming that you're not a fantasist, this is utterly crazy and definitely one for police.

Cards on the table - I've always loved every form of transport, apart from buses which I grudgingly accept. I have however recently been trying to see if I can persuade myself to enjoy them though. So in that spirit: What are the best services, preferably in the North East, where I can get some...

It isn't a fallacy, it's basic economics. The employee may need to change the nature of their career, and if the company they work for isn't dynamic enough company as well, but ultimately they will still be useful for something to someone and miles more productive than they used to be. This is...

Or the 73 stock could have been upgraded with CBTC and the 92 stock cascaded to the Bakerloo line, as a political decision by the Reform-Green coalition of all the talents.

Which frees them up to go and turn other ideas into reality.

What tasks? Ultimately they are going to need a human to be directing them at some level of abstraction, even if in some magical world (to take things to a ridiculous extreme) it's "build me a billion pound business. You come up with the plan".

They'll know for future, although tbh given how rife phones are in prison I suspect that there were so many alerts going off that it was impossible to find most of them.

This is economically illiterate, on a par of claiming there would be no jobs in transport because of the mass redundancies of blacksmiths. Yes, AI is transforming software development at pace but what this actually means is that we can do a hell of a lot more developing! Sure, there'll be less...

I have indeed been to Alston, that's how I know about these bus services, I took one look at them and decided to drive! If there's an actual use for them then well, who am I to judge? I would have thought it must be terrifying though, having to get your shopping in knowing there's one return...

I don't understand the point of a lot of the buses that run around Alston, often just once a week. Who are they for? Route 889W for example.

This is pretty conspiratorial thinking. You'd create far more nuisance just calling in a credible bomb threat*. This is clearly someone smooth brained with no idea how to deal with a break down. So almost no disruption in practice and one less Juke on the road. What's not to like? *I'm not...

1. Are you saying what can be 69.5% in Scotland isn't a high marginal tax rate? 2. Even if you are, by what logic is it right that someone earning 110k should be paying a higher marginal tax rate than someone earning 200k? 3. And as I also said, extend this logic to the lowest paid as well where...

No, what we need is sensible marginal tax rates. While for many who would be proposing being nasty to those on benefits the pernicious 100-125k marginal (net) rates are the most obscene, with >100% at the 100k cliff edge if you have kids and about 67% with withdrawal of personal allowance up to...

There's two diametrically opposed things here. It surprises a lot of people to hear this, but obesity is a bit like smoking* in that it's overall beneficial for the state (under current rules) because the decreased life expectancy means less in pensions. However it is front loading a lot of the...

Yes (although I'd have something better than IAM). You could easily enforce it the same way that those who just passed their test have lower speed limits enforced on the Isle of Man or Island of Ireland - R plates (although a different letter, or perhaps the Prince symbol)

I was also very pleased (for obvious reasons) when the attendant at Bushey station stopped someone nicking my - at the time brand spanking new - £2k e-bike on the first and last time I used the bike shed there. I still have the half sawn through bike lock somewhere but can't find it to take a...

While we're on TPE, I was very impressed with this the other day:

That's true but we don't see many cases of people singing like a canary and then arguing about the price (which OP is likely to have to do unless he/she wants to pay back multiples of what they stole) within the six months - I can't think of a case in fact although there probably has been one...

If the OP confesses in writing to the investigators I don't think we can confidently say that.
