My first experience of driving in the States involved a truck seemingly the size of a shopping mall up my jacksy flashing and honking in lane 2 as I attempted my first overtake. I was doing 75mph.

What's wrong with a Jazz!? I've had 3 :lol: Well, yes. Lowest common denominator is how it is - are you suggesting we make the speed limit a ton and if we all crash it's Mabel's fault for doing 45mph in lane 2? I'm sure you'll be smugly thinking "I told you so" as you're being crushed to a...

Was just on my way to say this - I've no issue with an ABC setup as long as it is materially different to a keyboard layout, but there are some out there as you describe... When tired (okay, hungover) they present a significant challenge as you poke at the screen like a curious orangutan with...

I think that's what @paul1609 meant. Certainly when I've arrived late landside of south terminal is like a community centre after a local evacuation! Why stay on the draughty rail station! Surprised by how much shuts in Gatwick although I suspect you'd find something open.

Naturally this is anecdotal but I've used the Brighton-Hertfordshire Thameslink axis extensively and at all times of day. I have never had an issue with safety, and like others have said I sit in declassified first at the back, on the single seat next to the cab door. I'm sure it might get...

Cna anyone elaborate on the issues? It seems unusual to me that Overground was also suspended north of Willesden. Did the entire system fall over?

Back into Brum, round to Moor St, down to Stourbridge. Take in the rattle box down to the Town, number 8 bus to the Bull and Bladder on the Delph - the home of Bathams - and sit there with several pints of mild and a bag of KVE scratchings. Not Wolverhampton. Never Wolverhampton ;) :lol:

Correct. But it's not the Brave Sir Robin as mentioned up thread - that was the pub's name in a previous incarnation. A pub so good that if you're not in there with a table by 5:30 on a Saturday you can forget it. Old Dairy is a bit hit and miss for me, the better pub is the Stapleton Tavern...

You've referred twice to the option given for a taxi either at the outset or by going on to Highbury and Islington. I've travelled extensively with a wheelchair user, and the way these apparent easements are applied are a clear source of frustration and anxiety. What price the station staff at...

I always bring this up in this sort of thread (not sure how I missed it originally!) Neither Dudley Port nor S&D (which is in Oldbury anyway) are within an hour's walk of the High Street. Even in terms of the Metropolitan Borough, only 4 stations are within Dudley - both Stourbridges, Lye and...

Ah but you see not in Britain where, as this thread proves, everyone knows better and it must just be some big conspiracy or something. Ultimately, if you tell someone to judge whether their travel is essential, they almost certainly will decide it is. Here is your handy guide to responding to...

Much obliged, ta!

Excellent, thanks! 8-)

I live near Bury Street Junction and with the wind in the right direction can hear the trains clattering the points - this morning I noted an unusually high number and RTT revealed a number of VSTP service trains running Cheshunt-Seven Sisters-Liv St (screenshot of services through Edmonton...

The post Bald Rick replied to seems to have distinct undertones that there's a conspiracy, possibly about wider road pricing?
