    Virgin Atlantic Meals?

    I am travelling in April from MAN to Orlando with VA for a works "outing". The outgoing flight is 11:00. Return 21:30 I am curious to know what meals I will get. Is the return flight too late for dinner? I checked the website but it isn't clear to me. I could wait and see but I wondered if...

    Broadband Telegraph Poles

    Has anybody else had telegraph poles installed in their area to facilitate the provision of fibre broadband to their house? I'm curious to know if any have also ended up with multiple poles from each provider. Previously all our phone connections were underground. Here it started with the main...

    Jet2 Wide Bodied Planes

    We are planning a flight to Mallorca in October and would normally use Leeds Bradford. However, I have noticed that Jet2 are using a wide bodied flight from Manchester on the same day which then offers the opportunity to have a row of just 2 seats rather than 3. However, I do wonder how likely...

    Surface Water Flooding Risk

    Hello, I'm curious to know any others on here that are living in houses marked as "high risk" for surface water flooding? I'm not sure about other areas but here it seems to be a mish mash of properties marked high, medium and low. The house to our right is high risk too but the one to our left...

    Telegraph Poles for Fibre Broadband

    I'm not sure if this is just a Hull thing or not. Our local telecoms provider in Hull, KCom, has over recent years created a full fibre network in the city. A lot of this has had to be done via new telegraph poles - including our road. Recently we have had two new entrants into the market (MS3...

    Using LNER eVoucher When No Current Travel Plans

    I think I have around £26 of evouchers that expire 27/1. Pre covid I would have used these to buy tickets for travel Hull London for work. I have no plans at the moment to do that but will at some point this year. To avoid the vouchers expiring could I just buy a flexible ticket for a random...

    Hull Trains - Standard Class Catering Returns and "Improved" First Class Menu

    https://www.hulltrains.co.uk/news/2023/a-true-taste-of-yorkshire-onboard-hull-trains As far as I can tell the improvements for 1st class consist of new coffee, a (payable) beer choice from Atom Brewery and a bowl of pasta in the "all day" menu. Woohoo!! :D

    Lorries Pulling Out at Roundabouts.

    I'm sure others have experienced this too. You are on the roundabout and wanting to go straight ahead (second exit) but just as you get to the first exit a lorry pulls out causing you to stop rather than be crushed! What is even more annoying is that the lorry driver gesticulates as those...

    How Long Are Tickets Locked For?

    Yesterday I was searching for tickets for Hull to King's X on 23/1 using Hull Trains. I wanted 1st class and a single seat. For various reasons I tried various combinations of seat preference. The price started at £89 but after trying a few combinations (4 I think) the £89 price was replaced by...

    LNER Smart Save

    The info on the app says that "LNER Smart Save is eligible on - Fares for LNER journeys purchased on the LNER website or mobile app" Why is it that I am looking at a journey on the app which shows a smart save price but the same journey on the website doesn't? Also, why does the "smart save"...
