    Fraud calls..."I am ringing about your Microsoft computer"

    I had an 'accident claim' call this morning. Kept them busy for 20 minutes, gave them my name as D Cameron, postcode SW1A 2AA, house number 10.

    RIP George Cole

    I don't often think much when celebrities/national treasures etc pass on, apart from a quick thought for their family and friends. George Cole though was one of the few non celebrities who was extremely well known, loved and respected. He has given me, various members of my family and...

    Person climbs OHLE Warrington

    Use them for Youtube etc adverts would probably reach a bigger target audience, but basically yes. Notice the bike one has some red bits on the road next to the helmet? Some would say that would have to be shown post 21:00 now.

    Person climbs OHLE Warrington

    Children become legally responsible for crimes at the age of 10. IE to know what is right and what is wrong. By that age, I'd also expect them to know that overhead lines carry electricity, and to know that electricity can be dangerous. So without even knowing what the current etc is, there...

    Anarchy in Calais

    Once they are in the UK, it's the UKs responsibility to put the illegals through the UK system, which is horrendously slow, inefficient and expensive. Without any travel documentation, France would not take them back.

    Lack of charging options at Blackburn station or on the Northern train

    If they are addicted, we need to treat them as vulnerable passengers, like drunk 15yos who decide to train-surf. :(

    Anarchy in Calais

    The French can't really do much about their border with Italy, as both countries are part of Schengen. Sorry, I missed the :-) in your original post.

    Fly be check in time Birmingham

    Check-in for domestic flights close 30 minutes before the flight, 45 is recommended. http://flybe.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/45/session/L3RpbWUvMTQzODMzNjQ4Ni9zaWQvbG5BVzZLc20%3D I've had queues taking 30 minutes to get through security at Birmingham, although that was a few years...

    Northern Rail yet again overcharging! ('Peak' ticketing)

    That isn't the point here. £2.60 is described as a large difference by the OP, which I think is somewhat of an exaggeration. Everyone has different view of what is large, mine is that £2.60 isn't. I doubt that a TOC would describe it as large, but they would describe it as large enough to...

    Northern Rail yet again overcharging! ('Peak' ticketing)

    While I totally support your claim that an incorrect ticket was sold, and it is clear that Northern have done this on numerous occasions, stating that £2.60 is a large amount is stretching things a bit.

    What is a Continent?
