A lot of stuff done online is done by a computer, and therefore doesn't require a human at the other end, I'm not saying things like cinema's or car boots shouldn't be allowed, I quite enjoy a walk around one myself, but shopping, really. Surely there should be one day a week where families can...

As someone who, for years as worked within the electrical industry I can say with absolute confidence that, unless there are massive amounts of money invested in the UK's power distribution network, the much vaunted dream of everyone using electric cars will never happen. I don't know how much...

I have to agree with you on this, I remember when I was a kid, the shops shut for a week at Christmas, we didn't have big freezers, or ready meals or microwaves, you had to get what you wanted by Christmas eve, because that was it then until after the holiday period. everyone got a rest, and...

I live in a fairly small town, we have a Tesco, and recently an Aldi opened just down the road from me, and I do use it a lot for the basics. We did have a Morrisons, but that was awful, being as how it was used by a lot of the OAP's, they used to send some right rubbish over, fruit that would...

Mmm, sounds like a typical bully boy, he'd probably have a go at a woman, or a kid, or someone who looked unlikely to kick off, but faced with a large thuggish looking person, he'd probably bottle it. I used to knock around with a guy like that once, we'd go into a pub and he'd start having a...

Having worked in the security industry, both as a patrol officer, and a dog handler, I wouldn't advise anyone to try and push things too far with an aggressive person, it's bound to end badly, and it's really not worth it! Your employer expects you to do a job, fair enough, but they by and large...

Many thanks for that, very helpful.

Don't know much about PS4, or any of those players, we didn't have them when I was a lad, lol. anyway it sounds like you've got an idea now so good luck.

Apparently the guy on the station, said he'd been chucked off for not having a ticket, and he wasn't letting him back on!If it had been me, I'd have argued the toss with him, but I don't suppose a quiet 14 year old would fancy doing the same.

RE regional dvd players, most of them, even the cheap ones can be unlocked, you just need to look online to find out how to do it. I remember a mate of mine doing it, muti regional players were quite expensive at the time, but you could get a cheapo one at Asda, for less than 20 quid. He went...

Some of these ToC's are dreadful, I remember my stepson some years ago, he was about 14 at the time and had gone to Liverpool with a couple of his mates, you know how it is, when they first start spreading their wings. Well, he'd bought a return ticket at the local station, boarded the train and...

I did the e-learning, and passed the ICI, and the network rail online test, apparently, it now turns out that we actually have 2 weeks of training and then the final exam, I just wish people would let me know what's really going on! Anyway, it now turns out that the job I've been offered isn't...

I don't think modern trains vibrate as much as the older ones did, plus if using certain equipment that is loud enough to need ear defenders, the vibration/noise from that would probably prevent you from detecting the train. As someone who is just starating out in the industry, it did disturb me...

Hi all, I,m doing a rail course at the moment, but it all seems a little haphazard, and I'm starting to get a little concerned! I started off by seeing the course advertised by an organisation that helps you get back into work, so applied, the initial bit was a bit chaotic, but I stuck with it...
