Interestingly, I was in Cheam Village the other day and watched a few SL7 buses passing through. This is the old 726 root of course. I was quite taken by just how well loaded they were.

With AI this useful, we will surely all be redundant imminently

Very left bank

Interestingly, all the countries higher than the OECD average are European

Stratford and Ebsfleet seems like. Great launch concept to me: doesn’t tread too much on E* toes and creates an alternative market. Stratford by rail or Ebbsfleet by car are both better alternatives than the appalling St Pancras for us

I tried, but the article does not appear to contain an entry link, only a link to the Ts&Cs!

From Tusk this evening. So many good things to say about this photograph!

You’re right, I did. Arghh!

We find DPD very reliable actually, by far the best of all the delivery companies

You could ask a well known track engineer perhaps?

Eugh!

But it’s no good fast tracking the planning system if there’s no dosh to get on with construction

Worry not. Our cladding problem on the Hilton in Woking only took four years to sort

Massive away win for the little fella.

Now this is proper snowploughing. Reminds me of one very harsh winter on the Clacton line at Feering when we unfortunately derailed an EMU by driving it into snow as deep as the train itself

Is there even an alarm setting for something as late as 0845?

Sitting fuming on my SWR train from Alton to Waterloo which should have been turned onto the fast line at Berrylands but wasn’t, this error wasn’t corrected at any of New Malden, Wimbledon or Clapham Jn and now following stopping trains all the way. 🤷‍♂️

Bit of an awkward name that if she’s an outdoor cat. Imagine calling for her to come in at night 😂

Our Pickle really tests us on Vet days by finding new and ever smaller places to hide, which she decamps to the moment the cat flap is closed. We have resorted to closing down rooms to her at the same time to corral her into the kitchen. Horrible humans eh?

Should have seen Gladiator ll instead. Lots of bloody violence of course, but a good story and well filmed

Can you lose on a piano? 😉

It was good to participate in our Connected Leaders alumni event this afternoon in the City. Lots of positivity and energy in the room about the looming changes to the rail industry. But I haven’t had to wear so much clobber out in London for ages!

Interesting point. Of course the one at Guildford is now a M&S Simply Food!

Well obviously not 😉
