    But he smashed the first ball of the Aussie second innings for 4, then hit the fifth ball for another boundary. Feast and famine this bloke!

    Trains that became detached.

    I don’t believe it can be true. Seven class 155s remained, from memory these were owned by the then WYPTE and they refused to have theirs converted. If there was a safety-related reason for the conversions then that would have overridden who the owner was, and in any event 153s have worked...

    However frustrating some of us find them, those self serve screens don’t have the “would you also like to order…..” screens for nothing

    Trains that became detached.

    I remember that, I got to Leeds about half an hour afterwards and it was carnage. Was there ever an official report on what actually happened?

    Absolutely Apart from security, the only other (much smaller) benefit of items behind the counter is that it’s a true measure of original customer demand, because the customer has to ask for what they want With stuff on the main shelves, if the item the customer can’t find wants is out of...

    Question - what is the "swiss cheesiest" accident report?

    The windscreen bolts one with the flight from Birmingham (can't remember the aircraft type) is a good example as well, I've been on courses that used it

    £290 for accidentally using expired railcard for one £30 journey??!

    It doesn’t even refer to it as an administration fee - it’s just the cost of a settlement. Most lay readers would interpret that as a fine, I think

    The big chains already have predictive gap identification from their stock and till systems and use it for the faster moving articles - the systems know the average selling frequency of products by hour across the day, and if a product shows positive store stock but nil sales for a defined...

    Got off train without being asked for ticket now received fraud email

    The OP has said the ticket was in an app, presumably that they’ve logged into and which has their details attached to it. Does that impact our standard advice at all?

    Cricket

    The coverage on Sky was pretty poor - the South African commentators tend to be a bit over-excitable, and then there's Mark Nicholas and his smugness, which really gets on my nerves

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    "People need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things," said Hegseth. Yes, because the average dimwitted MAGA type can't understand anything unless they see it with their own eyes. Presumably it'll be turned into some sort of low IQ television programme, with...

    SWR Short-fare on Trainline e-ticket - Gave brother's name in panic (Same address) - Need settlement advice

    Couple of little amends if it were me but otherwise I think its spot on. (Especially the "do my best" one - you're going to cooperate so be clear about it)

    Ryanair - refusal to amend flight

    Apropos Ryanair, we had flights booked to Dublin a fortnight ago but couldn’t travel because of a medical emergency. We tried to cancel our flights (we knew we couldn’t get a refund but it felt the best thing to do) and discovered we couldn’t cancel
