    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    Exactly. I thought it was pretty obvious. Hey ho.

    Facebook - Your Opinions.

    Personally I find it very useful for staying in touch with a lot of friends and family across the planet. Anyone who finds it a source of narcissism and bullying should perhaps think about who they are friends with. They will probably find the rest of their life is the same outside social media.

    Football

    Brilliant game, I was fuming we stopped playing at 4-1. Both teams played very well, we just got the breaks until, as I say, we stopped playing.

    Toilets at Liverpool South Parkway

    Mate no one is questioning the staff or the general quality of the station. I use it every day and no, the toilets are not adequate. There are about 21 trains an hour using the station during a large part of the day, 8 of the busiest have no toilets. None of the buses have toilets (Most of the...

    Toilets at Liverpool South Parkway

    Mate I go through there every day. There are three in the whole station. One on the bridge to the mainline platforms. One by the bus station. One in the passageway to the Merseyrail platforms. Two of them are behind the barriers.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    It doesn't work like that though. House prices are currently way above and beyond the means of many and have been for decades. There isn't suddenly a number of people getting gradually older who will suddenly change their mind to leave because they are already pretty much sorted out.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    What about the people who went to the unacademic Universities (What is an Academic University?). You think if it went well people wouldn't mind? Of course they wouldn't mind if it went well. Its the fact that a lot of people really don't think it is going to go well that is the problem. It isn't...

    Toilets at Liverpool South Parkway

    I didn't realise there were portaloos outside at that time, that said during the closure of Lime Street I didn't go through there much.

    Toilets at Liverpool South Parkway

    I am sure I have mentioned this before but couldn't find a thread. I love Liverpool South Parkway station, it is really nice in many ways. On the down side it has 3 toilets, not 3 blocks, 3 toilets. I arrived there at around mid day and the one by the mainline platforms had a queue of 3 people...

    Carillion in Liquidation

    No they haven't, that is CarillionAmey which is a separate legal entity. They also haven't failed in their maintenance of accommodation of military personnel. It is much more complicated than that. I would love to hear about the substandard work by the way because it is done by lots of...

    Branson overrules VTWC - Daily Mail once again to be available onboard

    Mate I am one of the locals. A lad I went to Scouts with died there. Thanks for pointing out all of our mistakes over the years, I'm sorry we all missed those points and that you find us childish. It would be kind of hard to boycott the Sheffield Star or whatever they have there in Liverpool...

    Branson overrules VTWC - Daily Mail once again to be available onboard

    Right the Mail has not been banned so you are wrong on that count. As for Liverpool you probably know very well that The Sun has admitted that it lied to the entire country and that police are in court over it. What is childish about standing up to the media lying?

    Branson overrules VTWC - Daily Mail once again to be available onboard

    Check out the online version. They want to ban porn and fill their sidebar of shame with women in bikinis who never got paid to be photographed, then they slag them off for how they look undressed.

    Starting over: a redesigned UK rail network

    No trains going to Manchester anyway. Blandford Forum gets a 150mph connection to London though. Just in case all the squaddies need to get to the capital quickly I guess.

    A pictorial history of the Pacers.

    One went through the buffers of (I think) platform 4 at Lime Street as well!

    Starting over: a redesigned UK rail network

    Northwich on there but not Liverpool or Manchester? Everything focused on the bottom right hand corner of the country?
