    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    So there is something actually for a pound at poundland?

    Reform UK discussion

    Again, all too true. If the population start noticing people going missing then questions will likely be asked, make people believe certain groups are bad apples and will destroy the country, and use them as the cause of any problems and they will just be glad to see the back of them.

    First Hampshire & Dorset (Wessex, Dorset & South Somerset)

    Though naturally if the service only operates in the holidays using an open top is not an issue. It is a nice ride on the open top and one I've done quite a few times, though for the more inland parts of the route an open top doesn't add much.

    First Hampshire & Dorset (Wessex, Dorset & South Somerset)

    Also unsuitable to be put on the 12 to Littlesea Holiday Park, though they prefer the closed tops on them anyway as they have more buggy space which is very much needed in the summer. I suppose the advantage of keeping the Swanage service as a closed top route is less issues with overhanging...

    Trivia - longest time without a brand new bus

    For First Wessex/Dorset I guess it would be 2014 when we got the Streetlite's and some Solo's, previous to that it would have been the Jurassic coast buses in 2008 and 2004.

    Ooh, those real modern woke pylon things! (that were more than likely needed for him to post that message)

    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    Unfortunately they should have been getting fat from their members but like the services they supply they got thinner. Should have been more dollar watchers than weight watchers!

    Supermarkets discussion

    All this talk about wrong deliveries mirrors my experience with linen deliveries at work. No we don't want king size covers instead of double covers, double sheets instead of single sheets or large single covers that are basically double covers. Also don't just assume that we have plenty of...

    Supermarkets discussion

    Talking about wrongly branded items being delivered, I got some free milk in a local morrisons once because they had been giver coop milk by accident. They obviously couldn't sell it so they were asking if anyone wanted it for free.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    Well trump has certainly been the subject of a few "oh my god" moments, maybe that's why he and other people think he's godly!

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    Remember Trump also boasted about being in trade talks with (over?) 200 countries, slight issue is that there isn't 200 countries!

    Reform UK discussion

    I'm waiting for all the by-elections, it can't be long before a reform candidate does something stupid and is forced out. Like a lot of other people have said reform now actually have to do some working I doubt many of their candidates have any clue what to do other than spouting rhetoric...

    [TRIVIA] Land Trains of the UK

    Weymouth still had one, now running between the seafront and Brewers Quay/Hope Square. Most of them will be made by the Italian company Dotto Trains/Dotto s.r.l. https://www.dottotrains.com/

    Supermarkets discussion

    Going by what the BBC are hearing it seems to be shops are either getting too much stock, and it's going to waste, or they aren't getting enough. The smallish food hall in Weymouth M&S seemed to be stocked mainly ok this morning, but that was within 10 mins of opening. Dread to think what this...

    Things in living memory which seem very anachronistic now

    Living on portland it's 70/30 whether you choose Stockland Hill (East Devon) or Rowridge (IoW) for your TV reception, the sea path can make getting a good signal a challenge sometimes. My Gran in Crewkerne could get bothered the correct West BBC channels from the Mendip transmitter but also...

    Supermarkets discussion

    With M&S' woes one thing I've noticed was the lack of reduced items/yellow stickers in our local food hall (weymouth) and only in the last few days (first noticed yesterday) having seen any reduced items. Today when I brought some items that were reduces I noticed that they came up as a generic...

    You have to drive an Alfa quickly, it's the only way to get to where you are going before it breaks down! (or gets terminal rust!)

    Branded school uniforms

    And naturally with academies a single supplier branded uniform is another way to make more money for the academy, well for the bosses that run the trusts that is. Must be a kick back from the suppliers. The secondary school I went to only went to blazers after they had become an academy (and...

    Electrical grid "crash", affecting multiple European countries

    I know in the right wind conditions high voltage power cables can contact each other, if said conditions occur over a large area then that could cause massive problems. Edit: It's called galloping conductors,

    I believe South West Coaches/Beeline have a couple, BV22HCH and BP24GWO.
