Has struck me that there is considerable equivalence between the recent Labour leadership and the Tory leadership 20 years ago
Thatcher = Blair - Loved and hated in equal measure, but generally popular with the electorate
Major = Brown - A hard act to follow. A bit of success but doomed...
Scenario: Your train has just pulled into Falmer on a busy match day. You're first out the door and there before you on the platform is shining coin. You know that stopping to pick it up would cause all sorts of problems behind you. What is the lowest denomination coin that you would pick up...
Changed my commuting route recently and now going into Victoria, so got a Victoria only season ticket. Use my oyster card when I have to go across London.
So yesterday I had to go somewhere via Charing Cross, which used to be where I came into, and without thinking I put my train ticket into...
