Yep, during the period when there will be next to no trains available, rail companies are recommending that people don't take the trains that aren't running.

Well I'm only guessing they're trying to make sure people don't still turn up at the station?

Well that's not happened before , well it has every time there's been a rail workers strike. But besides that it's definitely a first.

Not really, he’s just annoyed that he can’t get his breakfast served on white linen. There was no support for the workers in that piece at all.

You weren't actually meant to read the article....thought you'd have known better.

Another good one from the BBC today presumably written by Phil Space:-

Six trees in Blackpool town centre cost £174k, council says​

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-61917305

More accurate would be:-

Six trees in Blackpool town centre cost £174k which came from a fund for street improvement provided by Government which could only be used for that, so what's the problem?​

or

Conservative councillor fails to understand own government funding in huge self-own.

A new entry from the BBC:

The University of Cambridge received "significant benefits" from slavery, a report has found.
The study was carried out by the Legacies of Enslavement Advisory Group, appointed in 2019 by the university's vice-chancellor, Stephen Toope.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-62999844

Apparently parallel studies have found that woodlands have received significant benefit from ursine fertiliser and that Vatican City has received significant benefits from Catholicism and association with the Pope.

Shocking news today:
Prince Harry to call as King Charles celebrates 75th birthday

It's been reported that a man who lives in America will phone his dad, who lives in the UK, to say happy birthday.

Eureka, the temperature below ground at Raby Castle is warmer than above ground in winter.
I suppose another shock will soon be to find that air source heat pumps do not work very well when it is cold.

That's why they are digging geothermal holes.
