    Information phrases which grate

    I remember from a few years ago a female announcer at Manchester Piccadilly starting ‘The train on platform two is for Had…ooh, stoppit, ooh, Roger’. Whether that was his name or an instruction, I will never know.

    Bizarre conversations you have overheard

    Hulley's of Baslow (Defunct)

    I was under the impression that Hulley’s X57 ended on January 9th. However, it has now disappeared from the website. I was planning to visit my Auntie Vera in Hollingworth next week using it. Does anybody know if it’s been jacked in, before I ring them?

    The public want more restrictions, not less

    Guardian article: SWR leaves passengers stranded

    @robbeech, can you give us an example of how you have been inconvenienced? This is a genuine, not sarcastic, question.

    Austria (and perhaps other European countries?) return to full lockdown
