Should potholing be banned?
You'll only drive it underground.
Haven’t heard the podcast - why doesn’t Callaghan count?
(It’s higher than you think).
Little known fact: if nobody will pay £850,000 for your house, it's not worth £850,000.
But what % of Labour prime minister had the first name James?

Also Hitler.
I saw some photos of the interior the other day - amazingly the train, tube and bus sections are all fully fitted out with the correct seats, flooring and everything!
To mark the 10th anniversary of Victoria Wood’s passing it feels fitting to share one of her many comic genius pieces. Let’s celebrate that amazing woman here: The Ballad of Barry and Freda. youtu.be/uSBuPTLh8BE?...
