Why can't York have an enclosed bus station like this?
Why can't York have an enclosed bus station like this?
JUST spent a few days in Worksop, an unpretentious Nottingham town.
I used the buses a lot and what a difference.
Nice totally enclosed bus station with a 9 to 5 information desk, fully knowledgeable about all the bus services in the area.
It also has a super little café that's not rip off prices.
Out on a bus which broke down; in 25 minutes a replacement bus turned up (like coastliner used to do before Transdev took over).
York council, presiding over a tourist city, should hang their heads in shame.
Let's not hold our breath!---
Bring back blunt-ended knives - it makes sense
I CANNOT imagine any reason why knives and scissors have to have a sharp point on them .
Years ago all dinning knifes, with the exception of steak knifes had blunted ends.
Do any kitchen knives really have to have sharp points?
What possible use are zombie or display swords in day to day life?
It's impossible to prevent people who want to inflict harm harm on others with bladed instruments but you don't have to make it easier for them.
Ban pointed knifes and scissors.
What do you think?

Economic prediction
RACHEL Reeves must consider the public to be as naive about finance as she is, for to claim she is stabilising the economy is patently ridiculous.
Since becoming Chancellor, national debt has ballooned, growth is in reverse, unemployment on the increase, taxes at an all time high, business investment non-existent, public services in rapid decline.
Certainly not a recipe for creating the wealth and expansion programme she claims to be overseeing.
Starmer and Reeves are blindly leading the nation towards bankruptcy, a prediction which shouldn't be dismissed as political rhetoric.---
