    Avios: the hobby that makes a profit. Do you do it?

    I will not use Paypal unless they are acting as a merchant for various reasons I do use them to collect Avios if the seller uses them. I buy and sell PCs The main distributors do not take Amex However a big reseller is willing to take Amex via paypal and splits their bigger discount so I pay...

    I suppose there are fundamentally 5 types of people People who believe they are effective and will therefore comply People who believe they are waste of time but are not prepared to lie to the police by falsely claiming exemption and will therefore comply People who believe they are waste of...

    Trivia - closed stations very close to open ones?

    Does South Harrow on the Piccadilly count as both the Old and the New station buildings and platforms are still present with the former used for personal needs breaks? Greenford may count as originally there were separate stations for the underground and the main line which closed in 1963

    UK face coverings discussion

    If the authorities here in the UK start down the road of issuing official exemption cards then how do they stop people from abusing them in other ways which the German people are not inclined to do?

    I understood from what Matt Hancock told parliament that herd immunity was impossible and had not worked for measles ( What he thought happened before the measles vaccine was invented is anyone's guess ) This is an excellent example of how some people making decisions about how to deal with...

    Likewise in Geordie Nightclubs 1603040834 Last weekend some selfish fool in Bedgelert occupied an outside table for two leaving an almost identical table for one free This cost the pub a couple of drinks that we would have had.
