    Parking Company - advice

    That is my experience. After paying to park in the Hove Town Hall multi-storey car park, my ticket fell on the floor and I received a Penalty Charge Notice. On returning to the car and finding the PCN, I immediately visited the Parking Shop (conveniently located in those days at Hove Town...

    Adam johnson sacked

    I appreciate I may be over-reacting here, but "all northerners are thick" comes across, in a thread like this, as unhumorous bigotry - and not a great deal different from a comment like "all 15 year old girls are gagging for it".

    Ambulances referred by NHS 111 service deliberately delayed

    As far as the non-emergency patient transport service is concerned, the current contract between the NHS and the South East Coast Ambulance Service comes to an end on 31 March 2016. After that date, transport will be provided by Coperforma Ltd, a private company based in Hampshire. SECAMB...

    The chip on Leeds shoulder

    As do parts of what became Greater Manchester in the 1970s, to say nothing of places like Gisburn which are now in the administrative county of Lancashire, despite being part of the historic West Riding.

    The chip on Leeds shoulder

    The technicalities of the boundary of Yorkshire are a bit complicated, but I think it is universally accepted that the County of Yorkshire consists of the three Ridings and the City of York.

    The chip on Leeds shoulder

    I was BORN in Leeds and I'm quite proud of that, but - despite my complete sympathy for the "Support Your Local Club" mantra - I can't bring myself to anything like being a LUFC supporter, not even when they are playing another team that I have no interest in.

    LGW closed

    Roz and I once flew to a game at Burnley, fitting in a visit to see my mum, who lived three miles from Manchester airport. The journey back had us sharing the plane with the Albion team and a group of Palace fans who had been to their game at Preston. Great japes were enjoyed.

    Guiseley v Braintree controversy

    Footballers, especially young footballers, should be REQUIRED to play a few games of rugby union, as part of their training. And then they would learn that physical contact with an opponent is no reason to collapse on the ground and expect play to be suspended.

    How many Leeds fans will be trying to get the 23:30 out of Kings Cross tomorrow night ?

    The last pit in Leeds to close was Ledston Luck, in 1986. Jimmy Savile worked at Waterloo Main Colliery, in Leeds, as a Bevin Boy, during WW2.

    [Football] Barber (speaks) Out

    I'm not denying that Cellino has his own agenda. But it remains a fact that away attendances in Italy are much lower than they are in England. The English objection to Cellino's wishes (as well as the Sky practice of chopping and changing kick-off times) includes consideration of the interests...

    Is it time for Kevin Keehan to step up to the plate?

    looks like the wheels have fallen off at Whitehawk FC

    ... which was provoked by the owner (Martin Elliott) buying a pocket calculator and working out how much money Steve King had cost him and how unsustainable the "project" had become.

    Away Strips Today: Blue v Blue OK. Gold v White Not OK. What's the deal?

    When I was a kid, I followed my home-town club, Newport County. Like Wolves, they played in black and gold (although it was called amber in Newport). The only other English team to play in those colours was Hull City. Neither Wolves nor Hull were in the same division as Newport County. This...

    [Football] Barber (speaks) Out

    Cellino comes from a country where there is no great tradition of attending away games. It's a straightforward matter of the distances involved. Milan is nearer to Brighton than it is to Palermo. No-one travels that distance to a routine away game.

    A27 eastbound road closure Monday night?

    I don't think the ruts on that road have been filled in since 1846.
