Your DUCK IS DEAD A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away."...

Around Cambridge there are Whippet "Puppy" routes, when out of service the blind simply says "WOOF"

I have totally given up train travel now. Living in Great Northern territory its just not worth the hassle, have even bought a second car so that we can both have freedom. I bet we are not the only ones to take this decision. Now for the controversial bit, is there a conspiracy theory by the...

Slightly off topic but I am a leisure traveller who has been able to avoid the train chaos by using the car or local park and ride, but have come to a point where I have to use the train to get from Royston to Wool on an advanced ticket. The question is what happens if the designated train from...
