Over the wall into Penzance Bus Station, certainly, been there when it happened! YouTube videos available of the sea surging through Newlyn too, around p.m. 'peak' time. Sou'Westerly, Spring Tide and High Tide a potent combination which will be replicated again, probably this decade. Must say...

They were, as were all letter prefixed routes for a few years, excepting the N prefix night services. The first non-Red Arrow, non-prefix flat fare route was the 615 in 1970. I went on it with an L.T. colleague on its first day in the p.m. peak and we were the sole passengers, even though many...

Could be interesting when the sea gets a bit rough in Penzance, Newlyn or Mousehole - a bit like Dawlish on the railway, for different reasons!

Waterloo Bus Garage won the Energy Globe international award exactly three years ago from around 2,000 entries for innovations in sustainability. It was the first all-electric bus garage in the U.K., but a lot of the people most involved at Go-Ahead and TfL have moved on or retired. Given...

i I can't be sure, but I think gas appliances bought new had to be purchased from a Gas Showroom. I had a friend who worked in one, and she had plenty of tales about customers. One in particular stood out, because he was the chauffeur of the Gas Board's chairman, and used (abused?) his position...

Still exist in West Cornwall: older men too.

The Tories have a cunning plan to offer 'selected devolution' to Cornwall, Norfolk and Suffolk with a county unitary authority (already in place in at least one) and a directly elected mayor as a prerequisite. How about this as a line-up? Cornwall - George Eustice Norfolk - Liz Truss Suffolk...

You encapsulate it in a nutshell. Regarding bus travel between the two places referred to earlier, a few journeys a day is hardly a frequent service and, in any case, before the rail line reopened passengers had been left behind on occasion at Okehampton and probably at places further east, but...

A little more complex than that - a notice in the Penzance store saying that the higher price applied in their Scunthorpe store for a given week prior to the Penzance store apparently suffices, legally! It would take a certain doggedness plus a receipt from the Scunthorpe store from the period...

The same could almost be said of the secondary school I attended, which also had a prep school, all non-boarding. There was a Deputy Head, but it was more titular than real. The secretary was a full time position, but she seemed to be behind a locked door with that Deputy Head for half the day...

No limit in Morrison's, but then no customers there either! They used to be cheaper than Tesco or Sainsburys, and the three are virtually next to one another on the approaches to my town, but not on the evidence of my first visit in a couple of months.

An Optare on the T1 at St Erth, followed a minute or two later by a green MMC on the 17: later, saw 65725 on the Tin Coaster.

The (private) Morrab Library in Morrab Gardens, Penzance, founded in the early part of the nineteenth century, the smallest private library in the U.K. and open to the general public on payment of a small annual subscription. They only began to embrace the internet three or four years ago, but...

You could be a seer, or you might have got it entirely wrong. ;) Next has just bought Made.com out of administration, full price sales are up year on year and shop, as opposed to online, sales are bouncing back too. In an act of supreme irony their chairman Lord Woolfson, an arch Brexiteer,, is...

Old and sensible. :)

'By their friends you shall know them' - a very good starting point I've always found.

It's precisely that sort of apparently logical thinking that probably mitigates against it, unfortunately. Getting authorities to work together for a common goal is something now almost completely lost in the U.K.; very sad.

Absolutely, but my friend won't believe it until they're introduced - she's still convinced I was winding her up when I told her about the 'open sided' bus that was going to appear!

She only died recently - the last of the regular cast to do so by some years. She also had a regular part in the BBC TV comedy series in the early 1960s the Rag Trade alongside Peter Jones, Miriam Karlin and a very young Barbara Windsor, with whom she remained lifelong friends despite their very...

How much does Musk expect to earn, directly or indirectly, from this 'surprise! surprise!' result? - wonder how much time he spent fabricating that. <D
