    Solihull Moors 4-2 FC Halifax Town A game too far for Town, as the exertions and craziness of the last fortnight caught up with us. And even then, it was a case of what might have been and fine margins. Two of Solihull's goals were deflected shots which probably would have been saved, a third...

    But is it not the case that the UK had a returns agreement with France prior to Brexit, and now doesn't?

    lostwin - BR in the mid 80's

    The Forth Bridge is wider at the base of the cantilever towers and narrower in between them, hence the nearest obscuring the others behind it. The bridge itself is straight

    Fraud

    That isn’t how it works. You made one journey and three claims?!? You possibly need legal advice at this stage

    Fraud

    But you’ve made 400 claims in 16 months? Allowing for weekends, holidays etc that’s one every day. What exactly have you been claiming for?

    Football

    And rightly so, as Alty are now the highest placed team in the quarter finals, even if it means we have to go to Solihull and almost certainly I won't now get a ticket. Apparently when Chesterfield went there last season they got 250 and we have more than 250 season ticket holders It beggars...

    Avanti denying delay compensation for return journey

    Is the clue not in the name? Delay Repay How can you be repaid more than you paid in the first place?

    Yes, but that wasn’t his point His point was that neither of the teams in today’s semi final played last midweek, so scheduling the games the other way round wouldn’t have disadvantaged them but would’ve given City an extra 24 hours (or 33%) recovery time

    Eastleigh 0-3 FC Halifax Town After playing three consecutive home games on two away grounds in two different counties, Halifax trekked to Eastleigh for their fourth game in eight days knowing a win would guarantee the last playoff spot. In a remarkably un-Halifax way, they won comfortably...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    Yes, and its nothing new. I remember a piece on the Radio 4 Today programme back in the 1990s when Michael Howard was Home Secretary. The producers had spent some time with a young single mother in Bradford, and she'd written her shopping list, walked round the city pricing stuff up at every...

    Airedale Line rolling stock, 1980s

    From memory a selection of DMUs - mainly 101/108 with occasional 110s

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    Exactly that Perhaps we should throw out every Tory MP because a minority (admittedly an ever growing minority) has been up to no good? But this seems to be their MO. An example.... Historically there's been an issue with a black market in tobacco and cigarettes. Not a big proportion of the...

    There have been many studies over the years which demonstrate those of lower socio-economic class are more likely to have mental health issues, and by extension the treatment of mental health issues is worse in those of lower socio-economic class

    I presume these non-GP assessors will work for a company like Capita?

    I don't understand why they don't just try and pass a law declaring that everyone in the country is fit for work :lol: ;)

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    What a vile speech. Two quotes from it: "I will never dismiss or downplay the illnesses people have." Less than a minute later: ""over-medicalising the everyday challenges and worries of life".

    Bought ticket on the train

    The railway's argument would likely be that you were attempting to evade your fare, and bought a ticket when you saw the ticket inspector working their way down the train. They may think that had the inspector not been checking tickets, you'd not have paid. From what you've said, I personally...

    Fallout for rail prosecutions from Post Office scandal

    Fraud is a very specific offence though, and merely deliberately avoiding paying the fare isn't necessarily fraud, it depends on how that is done. Falsifying a railcard is potentially fraud, for example
