    Delay repay. Do you bother?

    Their short URL is lnr.uk, whereas lnwr.uk is the short URL for another railway-related company (based on the legal, rather than trading name), see if you can guess which before you click on the link, it surprised me!

    That reminds me: when I was small, I used to stick fridge magnets in all sorts of places I shouldn't have.
