Parliamentary sovereignty lies at the very heart of the British Constitution, and has done since the reign of James II. At one time Parliament had the powers to imprison or fine individuals found to be in contempt of the institution, but unfortunately imo these powers were allowed to lapse. A...

What's interesting about the 358, a route I used to know well, is the length of it with every section busy at most times of the day. Having the battery charging only able to be done at each end of the route, given S.E. London's horrific traffic hotspots, will severely impact the ability of...

Either cut-price gangsters or cut-price molls! The Kray Brothers would be turning in their graves ( not that Ronnie had any interest in the subject of course. ;))

Anyone prepared to make a prediction? I'm going to say another 2-2, though if I had to come down in favour of one I think it'd have to be Australia. We mustn't expect Mooen Ali to suddenly become Superman - I'm actually surprised he's in the team for Edgbaston considering England spinners'...

Having spent a half hour or so sitting on a bench at Abbey Basin this afternoon, I saw a d'd Mousehole bus go down towards the bus station then reappearing ten minutes later. I was given to understand a bus coming in from one routeing would then go out by the other. Incidentally, roadworks and...

I wouldn't expect TfL to allow the buses to run over a parallel route to the trams, even non-stop. The pro-bus retention argument was lost, to all intents, when the trams were introduced in 2000. I still believe the 54 should not have been withdrawn between Elmers End and West Croydon.

He's 77 today - fervently hope he doesn't make 78.

I got caught out there recently when needed to buy a washing up bowl on a Sunday afternoon prior to a District Nurse visit the following morning. Poundland had sold out, and the same bowl I'd spent £1.48 on at B&M a few weeks previously was £5 in Poundstretcher. Trade Descriptions Act violation...

In my experience, only if they ring you and give you a spiel before asking, forcefully, for you to sign up to a contract which will be with you 'within the next few minutes', in practice 90 minutes, with a follow-up call from a superior of the first guy precisely one minute after the emailed...

Which only goes to show that these events can happen anywhere - Hungerford in Berkshire, Dunblane and West Cumbria are places which gained unwanted notoriety from the action of evil individuals.

The first bus I saw on Monday during my first dose of the outside world for eight weeks was a double decker on the Mousehole service. I felt disappointed that the advertised service to and from Mousehole Harbour was once again not being worked, but, on due reflection, I was annoyed that the bus...

Mike Harris has been slaving away for 28 years producing every so often an up-to-date 'old school' London bus map in the traditional style that London's monopoly bus operator had made their own since the London Passenger Transport Board's inception in the 1930s. It is very much a labour of love...

Like on the bendies, travel will be free!!

My twelve year old car (and counting) would be riddled with rust if that were the case!

According to today's Times, CCHQ makes the final decision on selections, and it would be 'unthinkable' that anyone the PM vetoed would be allowed to stand. I suspect Johnson has already triggered sufficient 'alerts' in his statements and utterances that he could be held to be in contravention of...

Oh,the memories! Taking a 38 from Victoria Station to Islington Green, say, could involve being overtaken by another five RMs on the 38 in the course of the journey, and playing box and cox all the way. That scenario pertained right up to replacement by the dreaded bendies in autumn 2005...

After that extraordinary statement, even by his standards, which could have come from the hand of Donald Trump, absolutely no chance.

Who would be the main contender in NE Somerset? Lab and Lib had similar percentages last time, combined vote less than 3,000 behind Rees-Mogg.

''Sir'' Jacob Rees-Mogg, now he's got his knighthood and no-one other than Johnson would see his 'qualities'?!

I'll refrain from making a Sark-y comment :D
