Parts of the North London Line were so bad that people simply didn't use it at night. When London Overground came along, there was a massive transformation and I don't think people are scared now. People talk of 'no-go areas' now, but I think there were bigger issues years ago than there are...

I would be happy to pay an annual fee for a totally ad-free experience. I have no idea how hard it might be to set something like this up.

People were being told not to allow others to tell them what to do, and go out and get what you want/deserve, in the 90s (perhaps earlier). The kids today are the children of these people and never stood a chance.

This. And he also did a video just recently that covered the pets I mentioned (including the koala).

I think we've massively moved on from selling X-ray specs in the classifieds. Now there are ads that will try and empty your entire bank account through some dodgy investment advice. Plus, while I think we've all realised those X-ray specs didn't work, AI is getting realistic enough to produce...

So don't shop at those places anymore. Sorted. I'm not even disagreeing with what you say, but you don't have the right to just push through (and you mention 99% of staff don't care, so what about the 1%?) and if you want to be that militant, sooner or later they'll probably stop you and...

Watch just a few of the auditor videos, or anything with sovereign citizens, and you'll soon get loads. You'll also get to see a lot of videos of auditors in the USA that have been prosecuted and jailed for harassment, especially when other video footage turns up from the establishment they were...

Gates being pushed/bumped is recorded if the alarm sounds, and staff should be counting push-throughs hourly and reporting them. That might be why you don't see staff rushing to do something when it's happening every few minutes. More serious incidents will require a more detailed log or report...

Fraudulent ads are only going to get WAY worse now, thanks to generative AI. Look at all the fake videos of elderly craftsmen/women selling their hand-crafted wares before they close down, or the toy cats, dogs (and koalas?) that run on 3 batters but look and act totally real. It's now easier...

Are you trying to create an incident for nothing? Private businesses can set rules and if you don't like the idea of having to scan a receipt to exit, surely they'd just invite you to shop elsewhere? Why make the staff have to check if you'd just opted to walk out without paying, when these days...

People almost certainly have less disposable income nowadays, given higher rents and bills, so a car is quite a luxury even if the cost of owning and running a car is less. Besides the kids who still want to street race and go to car cruises, a lot of people probably don't see cars in the same...

Hopefully someone can see the obvious economic benefits of having such good public transport usage, which has made the roads a lot quieter. Even before the transition to EVs, there must have been a reduction in pollution - and with fewer vehicles, reduced accidents. Could the economy of London...

M&S this morning (queues to get in for opening time and marshalls in the car park) had loads of vegetables stacked up and they all looked super fresh. It was manic (like a Xmas movie involving people rushing out to get that last present) so I can't see how anything gets to be old. We got all...

Staff that might appear not to do anything should be logging all the push throughs, doubling up, and anti-social behaviour. This data will hopefully see that location get some sort of block or observation from the police if it might be related to county lines or something. There should be more...

The stores are desperate to get you to visit them over someone else to sell all the party food, cakes, cards, wrapping paper, booze and so on - so it's okay to sell some veg at a loss. Given some supermarkets have some crazy profit margins on some things that people aren't price sensitive about...

It's not a nice station for a lot of the time (especially at night, or when the football is on - although Arsenal fans know how everything works so it's generally fine. If there's an event on in the park then it's game over.) and stopping LNER trains there would be totally different to...

It might not be (certainly it should not be) easy to leak potentially 300GB of files to anyone, as that would mean some serious issues within the relevant agencies - and make you wonder how much other data is being leaked. I am sure we're all hoping that happens now, but I doubt there's a PC in...

Sort of. The worst offenders know they can just push through barriers most of the time - while on the DLR you see them just refuse to talk to the captains who can't leave the train, so they just get off and walk away. When you do targeted blocks, you can bring in police and even sniffer dogs...

You could use their equivalent smartcard as they all follow the same standard/protocol.

Surely at some point, the fares for previous contactless stations (such as Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City) will be revised in the same way as Stevenage etc, to provide consistency?
