Decker on 'The Mousehole' today: should be called the 'The Part-Mousehole' on these occasions imo. On the other hand, I did see a Sprinter as well.

I was seething about a couple of those decisions too, but I can understand that he might have felt we no longer as a nation have the capability to develop tram systems from scratch running along town and city streets without years of upheaval and costs multiplying by a huge factor. After all, he...

I'm an inveterate optimist!

You were, and I did. I still have the photo that was used on my first pass applied to the current one, but it's academic really as I'm unlikely to travel by bus again owing to non-wheelchair progressive disability.

How Labour could do with someone of his stature now among their MPs. A wise and thoughtful man who could and did stay calm during the 'banking crisis' and was, I understand, very well regarded by civil servants in the Treasury, much more so than many previous and following incumbents. One of his...

This is a genuine question, so if I'm missing something that's obvious to others, please do tell me. Are the Trump faithful who turn up at his rallies searched for weapons? I wouldn't have thought they would accept that, given their 'inalienable right to bear arms', so what's stopping someone...

I'm in broad agreement with that.

One of the newspaper political writers compared Sunak's announcement on this, together with his other recent pronouncements, as akin to John Major's cones hotline nonsense back in the dying days of his government. Real desperation from a government in power but not in control and utterly bereft...

I hate the concept of laws preventing one group of people doing what other groups can do quite legally, Why differentiate so radically between two individuals with one year's age difference, for the rest of their lives? It's one thing saying any given 17 year old may not be able to participate...

Personally, I wouldn't buy anything from a shop floor. :D 1701204552 Latest attempt by Sainsbury's to get me rushing back arrived this morning - 'Nectar coupons worth at least £4.30 inside'. Don't know how I contained my excited anticipation for the eight hours I waited before opening it, but...

Maybe Harvey's of Mousehole (aka Blue Bus) should make a comeback. ;)

A new one on me at at Tesco yesterday. Having had a small operation earlier in the week I felt like a consolatory meal and spotted a yellow stickered lamb joint reduced from the low £11s to the high £7s and thought that fitted the bill. It was the type of joint where each is individually priced...

There's a huge distinction between employees putting bodycam footage obtained in the course of their work online and individuals representing no-one but themselves doing so. I'd certainly argue that the representatives didn't 'own' the footage anyway and had no right to show it publicly. If it...

It's not just in this country, it happens in New York quite frequently and Los Angeles too. Unfortunately, the state of mental health in the Western world in particular declines by the year and is not helped by the availability of illicit narcotics.

The cameraman?! You mean the customer, the complainant, the rightfully aggrieved human being. Now police and staff in certain jobs and industries wear body cameras, can they be described as cameramen/women? I think not, they have the equipment fitted as part of their job and to potentially...

It's why I'm against the personality cult of mayors regardless of political stripe.

I haven't seen the video, but from what's been reported a disabled man who makes a visual record of his travels because he has faced previous problems and unlawful discrimination decided to share a video of such a recent occurrence. That in itself imo is not just 'relatively reasonable' but...

So of no use to a day return passenger from Peterborough to Sunderland, then.

It would normally be a place rather than a person referred to as a s**thole, so Cleverly is just digging himself such a hole! Now, if he'd said a* *hole, we could believe him.

Are you sure that wasn't you who was so disrespectful to me in Bourne and Hollingsworth in Oxford Street in 1973? :D
