My post wasn't directed at the lack of buses during the strike days, just pointing out that the day when she was able to travel she was let down by the bus company. As it happens, she worked for Western National when younger, and understands the staff's pay concerns. She's probably a...

So much wishful So much wishful thinking!! Russia has almost eliminated Ukraine's power systems and rail routes, which carried so much kit to reinforce Ukraine's defences in certain places. Russia has transferred 300,000 soldiers (their figure) to the other bank of the river from Kherson and...

We have a situation where a bus (or coach) with maximum standees could be using a 'smart' motorway, breaks down and has no hard shoulder to retreat to, even if it could have done so, and gets ploughed into by an HGV. Sorry, I know it sounds unlucky/improbable but, Sod's Law says, like Grenfell...

That'll foil Putin ;)

Nice for our enemies to be able to discover who's applying, then. :rolleyes:

How reassuring that GCHQ apparently has (had?) a Twitter account. :?:

The war can't have played a part, because my uncle, born in 1910, started driving in the early 1930s when driving tests had not been introduced, even 'voluntary' ones. He continued driving until shortly before his death in 1999. He was never required to take a test, but had a driving licence and...

My Mousehole friend, who lives a walk beyond the Harbour terminus, and had no buses yesterday, nor will on Monday, was most unimpressed to cart her Penzance Iceland shopping to the bus station earlier only to find she'd have to wait for a later Mousehole bus. Adventures By Bus? She just wanted...

Plenty of GPs can earn over that amount too, with all the 'extras' added on for form filling for bodies like DWP, DVLA, etc. Many choose to work part time anyway, or fill 'locum' positions at very high rates of pay.

Thinking Norfolk, writing Suffolk. I blame my age. :)

She can do that by resigning as an MP, and give the long-suffering voters of South West Suffolk an opportunity to say ''good riddance'' to her forever.

The irony was that a Californian seat took them over the line. There was torrential rain in much of California on 'election day' which, at the time, was reckoned to have cost the Democrats some thousands of votes: seems like that may have been true.

Yesterday it was Wilton's in St James's, where Iranian beluga caviar 30g is £240 - there was a photo in today's 'Times'. The woman is utterly shameless.

At the very least bitcoin (generic name) can be compared to timeshare i.e. potentially a wonderful thing to get in on the ground floor, so to speak but woe betide anyone who becomes a purchaser of given weeks. I never could understand why anyone sane could think it a good idea, given the snake...

RM5 has certainly attended Imberbus. It operated in 2013 and may have been there this year too.

I'm an egg snob too, if that has to be the nomenclature! I only get the choice of Burford Browns or (sometimes) the Legbar 'blues' - I've seen Cream Legbars in Waitrose, but that's a fifty mile round trip and at most a bi-annual treat.

Quite! If GWR could manage without seats they'd go too.

Absolutely no need to buy or even glance at the 'book' as (a) it'll be serialised in the Mail, and (b) all the other papers and their websites will report on that, anything of the remotest interest being in the first part of the serialisation anyway.

And then the court grants her bail: it's not as though those billions she's accused of stealing would help her disappear, is it? :rolleyes: Of course, she's a white female Californian with an impeccably middle class establishment background. The bail bond wouldn't exactly have presented a...

For Trump to get onto the list of Presidential candidates he has first to either secure the Republican nomination or to stand as an independent candidate. I'm sure he'd much rather it was the former, but I don't doubt he'd stand 'solo' if he got rejected by the GOP's faithful. This one will run...
