The high street: please come don't shop online 🥺

Also the high street: no staff, do your own checkout, remove your own security tag, item you wanted isn't in stock, download an app or you pay more.

Was lovely to speak with Dr Uy Hoang - who has uploaded over 300,000 photos of the UK's canals and rivers to Google Street View and is ninth in the world by number of uploads - for this piece. www.londonworld.com/news/people/...
I’m mapping Britain for Google on foot - I’ve taken 300,000 snaps over 10 years
Watch as Dr Uy Hoang from London discusses how he’s mapping Britain's waterways, having covered at least 75% of the nation's canal network so far.

52% of journeys are getting cheaper...

But 48% more expensive. That's quite a large proportion and I think people will notice.

Double whammy if you previously purchased a sub-£12 "Advance" fare in the morning peak with a Railcard.

The equivalent flexible ticket won't be eligible for discount.
BIG NEWS

On 7/12/25, GM sees the biggest change to rail services for 30+ years.

A new fairer, simpler fare system will come in across our 96 stations.

🐝 Singles will be half the price of returns
🐝 Tickets will be valid on any operator
🐝 Average fare will fall by 5.6%

Bridget Phillipson trying to pass him one and him putting it on makes it at least worthy of a tweet from a live reporting journalist. But, obviously, hardly frontpage news.
This is the fearless journalism Britannia deserves.

Twice the hospital has rung up asking if i can re-arrange an appointment that was booked weeks in advance and has given me less than 24 hours notice for the new date... now they're saying the original appointment needs to be cancelled

The Lidl cashier said "feels like I'm keeping up with you" as I bagged and he scanned.

Feels like the biggest compliment anyone could ever receive.

In many countries, authorities get together to facilitate cultural events like this. In the UK, they stop all the trains and tell people not to travel www.mylondon.news/whats-on/wha...

Why does Bowser allow Peach to send letters (with an extra life attached). Is his surveillance that poor?

"The reforms would give more people access to domestic electricity rates, enabling families to run their EVs for as little as 2p per mile – the equivalent of London to Birmingham for £2.50."

An Anytime Single to get the train from London to Birmingham is £98.50.
