I've made one of my 'set piece' mistakes of thinking 'it'll be nice to spend some time with my family, I'll go in to town with them' for it to take only seconds from walking in to the main shopping area to feel my blood pressure leap up as I stare in to the yawning abyss of mindless consumerist […]

I'm not bothered about what #Reform sponsors 'won't get', the very idea they 'won't get anything' is for the birds. We all know what they will get is a government willing to change laws so that they can make more money with less responsibility and accountability preventing them exploiting […]

#ChannelTunnel is totally borked tonight, got here at 1830 (early for the 2050 crossing) its now 2145 and we've just cleared the border. Apparently due to #DisposableBBQs the number of trains they could run was reduced...

@thechildofroth almost as good as all the driverists who decided they didn't want to pay Sadiq Kahn's ULEZ so they sold their old non compliant cwrs and bought new compliant ones instead, or even, out of spite for Kahn, just rode and walked to the shops. That learned him!
