    Ticket dropped in price over £20.00 two days after purchase can I get refund of the difference?

    They're supposed to be part of government - not some sort of claims lawyer for those who want to claim £20 because they bought the wrong ticket and thus want to portray them self as some sort of victim

    That pretty much sums up both HoF and Debenhams in Worcester. I expect that both of them will close after Christmas. I wonder too, about M & S in Worcester - it's a very large store - doubled in size when Woolworth's next door closed down and M & S took the store over and knocked them into one...

    Vale of Rheidol Aberystwyth Station

    Virtually none of their passengers arrive by mainline trains, so it was hardly a prime spot. Much more important to be accessible by road with good car parking facilities for families - I won't repeat your insulting comment about coach tour visitors.

    Ticket dropped in price over £20.00 two days after purchase can I get refund of the difference?

    With everything else going on, are you seriously suggesting that an MP (when one is elected) would want to get involved in someone claiming that he's due a £20 refund?

    WHS in Droitwich is always pretty much deserted. There are only ever a couple of staff on but with two lots of doors at opposite ends of the shop, I'm sure there must be a serious level of shoplifting. They have at least repaired the roof, so it's no longer festooned with buckets every time it...

    I buy skimmed milk (4 pints) usually from Morrisons, sometimes from Waitrose and occasionally from Lidl. They're all around the £1.10 mark

    There is a Tesco Express and a similarly sized and stocked Sainsbury's both within 100 yards of Worcester Foregate St Station. I'm sure that they do well from commuters getting off the train.

    The Co-op has given up on larger stores and is now concentrating on local "convenience" shops. These tend to be open for longer hours, but have limited ranges and very high prices - use them if you're desperate!

    My local branch (which does not have a PO) is always pretty much deserted save for one or two men (always men) browsing railway/car/photography etc magazines. There are two doors at opposite ends of the shop but only one member of staff who is located at the front door- the shoplifting losses...

    I bought a 1 litre carton of Tomato Juice in Lidl the other day. It was cheaper than Morrison - 59p vs £1, but when I got it home I found that it had more than double the amount of salt than the Morrison's product.

    Standard class and working on a laptop in airline seating.

    When my wife and I travel, we always avoid tables -even if they are free when we join the train. We don't want to be bullied by people sitting opposite and forcing us away, so that they can use the table as their office with laptops spread out and interminable phone conversations (even in the...
