    The 2024 London Mayoral Election

    The Mayor of London is responsible for TfL which sets bus fairs and the Mayor is also responsible for the Met police. She’s standing for election for Mayor. It’s her job to know. It’s a bit different to how much is a pint of milk. She’s also been on the GLA for years and also should know who...

    BT Copper to Fibre

    FTTP is going to be a drawn out process. OR often decide to overbuild into planned AltNet areas because they want to retain their monopoly status where they can charge more for their wholesale packages. As for AltNets using existing OR ducts and poles, that’s something OR are required to offer...

    BT Copper to Fibre

    The likes of CityFibre aren't profitable because it costs millions to lay these cables. It’s a similar situation to when cable TV was new. There will be lots of companies making nothing during the mass rollout that then merge through acquisition leaving one or two big players.

    Wilko's goes into Administration

    Being town/city centre is proving a disadvantage for Wilko. Sky high rents and business rate and falling footfall.

    Trivia: Artists only known for one song

    Alice Cooper also had a hit with Poison. I think most people could mention Money by Pink Floyd. 1690796578 Cyndi Lauper had a hit with time after time. Shakey was well known for Green Door and This Ole House And Kylie has so many hits that I can’t get her out of my head.

    Cricket

    There is no Duckworth Lewis for test matches thankfully and whilst I’m sad because Australia retain the ashes, the correct result was a draw.

    Formula 1

    Disagree. Yes he was quicker than McLaren but he said they were pushing him and it wasn’t easy. Particularly at the end.

    How do you get back from failure?

    First off if you have any suicidal thoughts, please talk to someone about it. My uni life was a disaster. I failed and dropped out. I made the conscious decision to make the best of what I’ve got. I have progressed the hard way and am a senior engineer. I still don’t have a degree.

    Government spending £8 million on portraits of the King for schools, police stations and council offices

    Agreed. I’m an ex councillor and there was a picture of the Queen in the town hall. Never noticed one in schools though.

    Intersex Train on SWR

    In the past yes. But awareness grew that this was the wrong thing to do and it was better for people to embrace being left handed. That awareness and tolerance people may call virtue signalling or being woke. 1680111417 Agreed. Really? You’re asking that this week. 1680111819 Rubbish...
