Hi Sean. I am a Trustee of the Peak District National Park Foundation - it might be worth having a look at this fund? www.peakdistrictfoundation.org.uk/community-na...

Football, bloody hell (said in Scottish accent)

Sir, I salute you. Do you also have a series of mothballed inboxes at full capacity? Asking for a friend.

Socks?

We won't talk about Northern...

I also had the Avanti experience yesterday. I left London two hours earlier than planned in the hope I’d avoid some of the madness.
Something has to change with the trains, it’s awful.

Brilliant, thanks for the R tip!

I'm envious.

Thanks @torfordy.bsky.social - looking forward to it

What became of him?

You got your teen to watch Paddington???? It's now distinctly uncool in our house. Paddington 2 shades it for me - Paddington 3... well they need to stop there.

I personally agree - but then I'd also say it makes no sense for anyone connected to the PR business to be supporting and taking money from legally, ethically and morally suspect regimes and organisations... and yet some do.

They are the worst. I'm starting to look back on the days of Pacer trains with some fondness. Yes they were awful trains (water pouring in through the roof was a highlight), but as I recall they never seemed this bad in terms of service and reliability.
