The remake of any classic film or series

Very sad news indeed. Feel privileged to have seen him play - for the West Indies Touring Team at Northampton in 1966, I still remember the feeling of awe that I had.

To be honest, I haven't a clue!,,,,but rearranging the deckchairs isn't going to do anything, replacing Starmer with someone who is going to continue with the same policies isn't going to get anywhere. Obviously I would prefer someone who would reaffirm Labour's traditional roots and values, but...

...but Streeting comes across as a smarmy so and so and, in my opinion will do absolutely nothing to reconnect with all the 'progressive' voters who have left Labour....and is there anything more to come out about his relationship with Mandelson?

Thanks,that's what I thought, didn't think my memory had failed me!

Surely 'The Welshman' was Euston-Pwllheli? I returned from a family holiday in 1963 on it!

As a postscript to the Melbourne Test, I thought this an excellent article by Greg Chappell: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/memo-to-australia-and-england-honour-the-format-that-has-elevated-you-1517475 (Article blames the cavalier attitude of batters on both sides for the two-day...

What a sensible post!

I've only walked out of a gig twice....and that was The Alarm on both occasions! Should have left an Evan Dando gig earlier this year (Didn't think I'd like him anyway - but he was far worse than I expected...he was drunk). Only stayed as I was with a friend who liked him in his heyday

True, but I do wonder how many of the newly elected Reform Councillors were, in another life, Councillors for a different party - someone somewhere is probably looking at this right now!

Ah yes, the old right-wing trope about Socialists copyright Daily Mail, I believe

Yes, most definitely! Can't see myself ever changing! Zero interest in Spotify. My car has a CD player still, if I had to upgrade (I mean buy a more recent model) I'd probably use a USB stick as suggested by @DelW

We do have a business account - and as others have said, the Post office does not charge for accepting cash. Fully accept that being volunteer-run we have lower costs and can bank the cash via the PO at a convenient time. Would be more difficult if I had to go into Bangor to deposit cash.

1.75% of any card transaction in our volunteer-run shop goes to the card provider (substantial amount on a small turnover) Cash can be deposited - no charge - in our bank via the Post Office 100yds down the road. As times are hard we have no problem accepting cash, indeed prefer it as it helps...

Indeed so, I don't know how often I have seen on the dreaded Facebook (Welsh) Nationalists blaming Beeching, and the English in general, for the inability to travel now by rail from North to South Wales without having to go into England. In an idle moment I did once plan such a journey from one...

Precisely.

I would have thought that a cat was mandatory in a Signal Box! I remember a rather vivid and amusing account of Caernarfon No. 1 box in Bill Rear's book 'From Chester to Holyhead -The Branch Lines' which I have just looked up again. Apparently 'ginormous' and 'fearless' rats lived in the...

Entirely agree with you!

Off the top of my head from my own collection: Steamhammer - Riding on the L & N.....written by Hampton/Burley, a blues classic also covered by John Mayall, Dr Feelgood and 9 Inch Nails - Hold that Train Jonathan Kelly Great Northern Railroad (mentions...

I recall that there were some pubs that refused to serve women pints, so that might explain the 'two haalves to one pint'
