There is a Charleston in South Carolina which is what you may be thinking of.

No, it is primarily due to house-building over the years so more and more people have moved here, being on the edge of what a lot of people would class as a reasonable commute to London. The road network has not expanded (because it can't) hence frequent traffic congestion, especially on Fridays...

The point is some of these hotspots are hotspots because they have been overhyped and they draw people for that reason, whereas there are better places to visit that are far less well promoted. Snowdon summit is a good example. Likely was once a beautiful viewpoint but has been trashed by tacky...

I have an NHS dentist, have had one since I moved to Horsham nearly 22 years ago.

You're either with us or against us. It is possible to be largely supportive of a category of people but object to their actions in a minority of situations. Supporting someone 95% of the time and disagreeing 5% of the time does not equate to being anti-that person. Why the binary thinking?

The attitude that unless you are an authority in a subject you cannot have an opinion on it is widespread and IMO toxic at its worst. It smacks of bullying in an attempt to silence criticism of crapness, so those with the power/responsibility can avoid being called out and don't have to bother...

Strap a brick to the bottom of his shoe? 1715003109 FTFY. 1715003262 My guess is the OP made an automatic assumption that staff shortages are caused by the staff either not turning up due to their poor timekeeping (e.g. they didn't get out of bed early enough) or pulling a sickie.

I was travelling from Farringdon to Horsham earlier this evening via the 17:24 Farringdon to Brighton service, changing at Three Bridges to catch the 18:14 service to Southampton/Bognor. I got to Three Bridges without any problem and despite the short connection time, got to platform 3 in time...

Just spent a weekend in Snowdonia and nailed the weather perfectly. Some photos from the Snowdon horseshoe and Cadair Idris routes.

Manchester United are an international brand and have fans across the world. The global population is around 8 billion whereas the population of Manchester is a little over half a million or around four orders of magnitude smaller, so logically it is extremely likely the majority of ManU fans...

With England and Wales having just experienced the wettest consecutive 18 month period on record (since 1766), and with the weather this year continuing to sink to the level of poorness of a lot of things from government to public services to toxic public attitudes in the UK, people have every...

Two possibilities that come to mind: 1. System failures across all public services are heavily publicised in the media and people on a population scale are heavily influenced by the media. It is the same with media articles about the EU or immigration, they frequently contain nonsense but are...

I found this article about the UK railways which looks to be on a website that has articles/podcasts on economy related matters. Having read it it seems quite reasonable if a little like wishing on a star when he talks about what is to be done i.e. a complete system transition...

These things are not necessarily independent, even if surveys like that give the impression they are. Transport networks are the arteries of the economy, and poor transport infrastructure, be it creaking hardware that regularly falls over, or industrial action, stifles the utility of the...

Yes but Britain so we know that's what will happen.

The journey times in the table posted by zwk500 above coincide with a bank holiday and half term which is very likely a period where air fares are elevated, rail fares do not increase over a bank holiday weekend or school holidays in my experience. If they are including a taxi from airport to...

Agreed, the assertion that doctors and nurses aren't responsible for people's lives on a large scale sounded bizarre to me, and I also agree comparing totally different jobs is meaningless. The reason it is done is because the fallacy of relative privation is one of people's favourite logical...

Yes it is effectively an offset. With Good Energy they claim to supply the equivalent of what you consume to the grid in the form of renewables.

Speaking purely logically, it makes no sense to only target bicycle panniers and ignore anything else which could easily house a bomb. If a terrorist wanted to use a bicycle to house a bomb they would be better packing the frame with explosives and using it as a pipe bomb. I suspect the reason...
