    Delay repay. Do you bother?

    A quick question about delay repay: On Friday I travelled with two other people from Devon to Manchester via Newport, the Newport to Manchester leg was terminated at Wilmslow due to late running meaning a delay of over an hour. As the tickets were purchased at a GWR station the online claim was...

    People travelled, studied, worked and lived in Europe before the EU. Maybe you are too young to remember that?

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    It's well on the way with the Euro, national governments have to get annual budgets approved by Brussels which can be vetoed, as Greece knows only too well. And then of course there's the EU army, which we were told was "a dangerous fantasy", but will soon be a reality. What kind of trading...

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    It's an ideological thing which you seem unable to grasp. I am resolutely against being part of a political entity called the United States of Europe, if the rest of Western Europe is happy with that so be it, but thankfully we will now go our own way.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    I would refer you to Enthusiast's latest post above, they very eloquently describe my feelings to a T. I don't think there is anything more I could add. And the good news tonight is that the Lords have caved in and passed the Brexit bill.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    Along with Amsterdam they created the modern EU, which has become a political union that I despise. And within a few days we will have left, so as far as I am concerned it's job done.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    I suppose Maastricht and Lisbon could be named as two of the most notable offenders. As for the rest of your post, that is your opinion, other opinions are available.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    The various treaties created the EU and stripped our sovereignty. I prefer our laws to be made by MPs in Westminster and not by MEPs from 27 other countries based in Brussels, that's enough for me to despise the EU and it's why I voted to leave.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    The myriad treaties that were signed by various governments which took us ever deeper into the EEC/EC/EU, without any reference to the people as to whether we agreed with them. We were taken into a trading bloc and ended up with a political union, all without being asked.

    I think you are going to the wrong places to eat fish.

    Maybe it's tiny because we have to share the fish stocks with 27 other countries.

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    We will not participate on any EU bodies during the 11 month transition/negotiation period, but the EU has pledged the status quo will apply.

    But the words European Union have been removed from the front cover.

    Standing Passengers Encouraged To Sit In First Class

    This has happened to me twice while travelling first class from Paddington, on both occasions I claimed and received a refund for the fare difference. The first time it happened I asked the guard about obtaining a refund and he rather sniffily told me I could try to claim if I wanted to, as...
