The London Borough of Camden, progressive even in those days ( :) ) had a male wheeling the tea trolley in their Housing Department offices in the early/mid 1970s: he was someone who had suffered 'shell shock' while in the Army during the Second World War, and it was then a legal requirement for...

It's certainly a worrying situation, but speaking as an imsoniac, it's not great to worry about all the things we can do nothing about.

Yes, someone made off with the dosh. :D

Instead, they imply the Ukrainians were responsible, a typical Russian ploy.

I only know that after my wife's death I had (and still have to an extent) a huge task of unsubscribing from emails from hundreds of different companies, some whom I knew she ordered from and others who just had her on a mailing list. Etsy is one of a small number it appears impossible to...

I'm not including Crimea. I'm including the land within Russia that everybody agrees 'belongs' to them: this is what Putin was undoubtedly referring to when threatening nuclear retaliation if it was breached. People are still unprepared to take his threats seriously: we'll only learn when it's...

Has anybody been saying that? You can direct missiles without invading somewhere cf Kyiv in the last couple of weeks. Don't forget, Putin has threatened nuclear retaliation should any blade of grass in what is (indisputably) Russia be violated by Ukraine, to use their language.

That's the 'normal' price for 10 Clarence Court large eggs: even on special offer they're £4.30. A year ago they'd have been around £3.

But what if this is not the case and Putin wants to see what the response is from the West, in general, not just Poland? I suspect he thinks there'll be much sabre rattling and nothing much will change. He's absolutely banking on NATO not entering the conflict short of Russian use of a nuke, and...

That could be something he'd be quite sanguine about.

Anyone think Trump is going to announce the formation of his own political party in six hours time?

Kezia Dugdale was hardly known outside her family at the time, even less so now. To suggest whatever she did (I have no idea) bears comparison is ridiculous.

Penzance one used to open well into the evening, but no longer is. Staff shortages are as much a reason as the pre-pandemic levels of trade never having been replicated, apart from in the summer holidays.c The district's other two Drive Thrus (McDonald's and KFC) are within spitting distance too.

No, Arriva played no part in the operation of the heritage routes. I wouldn't think you could hire most of those RMs, but someone might prove me wrong.

If your mantra is 'small state' then the last thing you want is public money spent to ensure the public get the result the majority want!

I regret to say I think you're absolutely right.

George Eustice has been saying this privately in and around his constituency (and family farming business incorporating shop/restaurant etc) for weeks - it's caused great schisms with some neighbouring Cornish Tory MPs (tee hee :) ), not all of them Truss supporters either.

It also should (but, obviously, won't) quieten those who say that all those 'late counted' votes mysteriously go to the Democrats: Kari Lake's deficit in votes was declining as more ballots were added in, such that she was 'winning' nearer 60% of the new ones, but, given they knew the maximum...

The lack of alcohol certainly keeps away the sort of people (mainly men) who make a nuisance of themselves in too many pubs, certainly in my part of the world where other bars rarely last beyond a year or two. It's also good that all ages and both sexes feel comfortable there. Out-of-control...

Many know that RM 2217 performed the final regular RM service on 7/12/05 on the 159 from Marble Arch, not so many know that RM5 operated the last one to arrive in service at Marble Arch, following which it disappeared down Park Lane OOS. It wasn't driven by a regular Brixton driver either. I'd...
