"TWO ANORAKS HAVE NON-ARGUMENT ON PLATFORM"

Don't forget, governments/companies also like to pin their flag to New, Shiny Things. So when they work they can take all the credit and crow about how wonderful they are and a blessing to the human race. (When they 'get it wrong', they can blame someone else, á la The Timetable Change of Doom)

Yeah, I think you might be right. He sounds like a bit of a naughty boy, maybe the sort of constable chappie who might stick his blues and twos on when coming off night shift at rush hour and wants to get back for a cup of tea. Possibly. Anyway, a policeman abusing his position? Fancy that!

Ignoring all of the finer points and microscopic detail for a second... The railways have had a p*ss poor year as far as their image with the travelling public is concerned and this has only rubbed salt into the wound. Being a former commuter from that there Letchworth, I am very glad that I...

*raises hand* "Excuse me, sirs... but I'd like to comment" It's all very well people on a railways forum saying "What a fool, she's clearly not an expert like us... she should have done something fiendishly complex instead - that only the likes of us know. The UTTER fool" (The word 'fool' is a...

Anyone here work for DPD?

Segregation. It is the ONLY way.

*sigh* Round and round again, same old arguments fly in the face of reality. I could go on and give examples but I shan't bother. There's no right answer, though there are some daft/rude people. (I mean really, why should I care. I make money out of reversioning things into more than one...

@CambrianCoast If you'd bothered to read what I said properly, you might have realised I am Welsh. Doofus.

^This. A few years ago at when I was at uni (of Glamorgan, I should add), we were down at the Aardvark running science workshops as part of the Urdd Eisteddfod. Some neckscarf wearing person came up to me and said something in Welsh and when I couldn't reply in kind, gave me a filthy look (like...

You've clearly not met the people who run Swansea City Council

Should have kept Swansea Victoria and ditched High St. Would have made this whole discussion moot!

As someone who has worked on a few ads (albeit radio ones) for a variety of TOCs, this is pretty much true (though the radio ad clearance people - the RACC - are a little more stringent with their requirements before things go to air). However, I once sat in a session with a TOC who hadn't done...

Anything that's supposed to happen in Swansea should be taken with a huge pinch of salt, probably the whole cellar. Just look at the bendy busses and the town centre re-planning. It's such a shame though; I love where I was born and lived for 21 years of my life but it really is where ambition...

...and then go up through the Clyne Valley, eventually joining up with the line at Gowerton (though the last mile or so might need some... thought). The problem with my dear home-town, is that they kept the wrong station. Swansea Victoria would be much better suited to all of this, than High...

Swansea is known simply as 'High St' or 'High St Station', despite all other central stations having vanished long ago!

Even seemingly well off people feel the need to do something drastic to escape. Just saying.

Just to chuck in my two penneth... not directly related but still, equatable, I recently enquired as to visiting a location 'for a wander round' that's not strictly open to the general public. I got the response that 'as long as you're not making a nuisance of yourself, you're fine' (this wasn't...

Another one for the pot - The Mumbles Railway. Not so much the physical logistics being difficult but the local political ones (i.e., the madness of Swansea council and their weird and wond...er... just weird schemes)
