Saw a suggestion tother day that Halal butchery is going to be outlawed in the UK and if that happened, all the Muslims would leave.
. There have been some very amusing threads over the years. Also quite a few names that faded away. Either moved to a different marque or actually faded away……Desperate Den.
Trains are still highly efficient ways of quickly moving lots of people in/out/between cities. They're nearly as good for moving heavy, bulky loads between fixed points - like fuel for power stations.Which is why trains sort of almost work for the South East, assuming you want to go to London.
They really don't work anywhere else, and outside of London's Tube system, are not financially viable to users or the taxpayer.
That is madness. Society should be pushing for it to be easier to travel by train or indeed be easier to travel.
Drop off charges boil my P1ss. Years ago, my brother had to pay a couple of quid to pick me up at Leeds airport or £5 if he came in his van. He revolted and made me walk out of the airport. Of course now red lines everywhere. Contrast with Spain. Free to drop off at Malaga airport in short stay if you take less than ten minutes. You can use the same to pick up if you wait off site and the person messages you.
The train companies often don't help, as parking at Chiltern stations is now a tenner a day, and Banbury station has closed it's drop off point to private vehicles, so anyone wanting to use the train from there now has to use a taxi if not in walking distance. Fine for drop off is now £40. So everyone drives to London now.
Do you honestly believe that the general public has any concept of what Iran's capabilities were before the weekend?
Didn't think so. Why then would we know the whole capabilities now?
What is certain is that, to misquote the UN Nuclear chappie, the.Iran of today is not the same Iran as a week ago.
