Re: Parliamentary Election Hustings - 24th April

Extremely disappointing that it has come to this.

I'm no supporter of Liberty GB, but I would contend if they are permitted to exist as a party in the UK and stand for election then it is not really up to other parties to decide if they are eligible for a platform, rather the public.

Does anyone know the rollout schedule of these?

I use the line every day and the only time I have even seen one is on a Saturday afternoon - never in morning or evening peak.

Suggests to me there are perhaps only a couple in use at the moment?

Re: Southern

Going back to the OP - as I understand if a train misses any scheduled stops it is counted as a cancelled train for the purposes of the statistics even if it arrives at its final destination on time.

Re: Japanese Knotweed, anyone?

I learned a lot about this recently as we were looking at buying a property where it was found in the garden.

It is treatable, and there are professional firms that do this - just cutting it down yourself is a big no-no and will exacerbate the problem (and is illegal)

There are plenty of scare ...
