    Fare evasion pos prosecution

    So instead of telling the truth you want people on here to tell you to lie? When in a hole it is better to stop digging as opposed to continuing to dig to see just how deep you can get.

    What do you think is the best age for a child to start using public transport independently?

    I would have been about the same as you. Getting the 107 into the city when we were in first year to go to the cinema or down to Codona's. These days though Union St has turned into a hovel with the amount of drug abusers and drunks walking about all day causing bother. The area by the banks at...

    Football banning orders

    It had the name of a proscribed organisation on it. It was unbelievably stupid and there was only ever going to be one outcome to what happened.

    Football banning orders

    A lad I know got one for a flag he had at a game. He got a 3 year ban. His conditions were he had to go to his local police station to check in at a time that would make it impossible to travel to see the team he supported. He had to give up his passport when they were away in Europe and also...

    Sundays - back to the traditional?

    Absolutely not. But he is the one who brought the Catholic church into it.

    Sundays - back to the traditional?

    He'll claim they are irrelevant because he doesn't want to accept that they are relevant.

    Sundays - back to the traditional?

    Surely to God, pardon the pun, you're not going to give the example of the Catholic church with what they've been caught up in over the years as a way of reducing crime?

    Sundays - back to the traditional?

    They used to tie up the swings in the play parks so the kids couldn't use them. Mental Wee Frees.

    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    Hopefully they can be saved. My local R.S McColl's houses the only Post Office for about 6 or 7 miles and of that went you have to go into the city to post any parcels.

    Avanti's... interesting Twitter policy

    @yorkie It appears that you're almost completely agreeing with my post! Correct process needs to be followed, that's only fair for everyone. I also deal with challenging behaviour in my work. Lots of us do, especially in a retail or customer facing environment. Often, when you hear the...

    Avanti's... interesting Twitter policy

    Unless merseysider names their employer and their own name then we'll never know. As much as people don't want to accept it, the customer isn't always right.

    Scotrail service not allowed to sit in "vestibule"?

    I find it very much depends on the individual. The younger staff are fine but the older staff less so. I do wonder if my card was marked for a while after Yorkie helped me put in a complaint to Scotrail after a staff member at Aberdeen took my ticket off me and made me buy another when my...

    Avanti's... interesting Twitter policy

    I very much doubt that as your employer wouldn't have followed their correct procedures and it would leave them open to you taking legal action against them.

    Scotrail service not allowed to sit in "vestibule"?

    I travel into Aberdeen from Portlethen and there are plenty of times when the train stops there on 7N, likewise on 6N. In the past I've contacted Scotrail to ask why the last southbound train starts from 7N when for a less mobile person coming from the main station it means a trip up in a lift...

    LNER/Cross Country on Sundays in Scotland

    Fair play to LNER, put in a claim due to the seat guarantee and they've already sent me an email saying that they will refund the fare. Can't say fairer than that.
