I've only read the BBC article, not the judgement itself, but the impression I was left with was the court has effectively outlawed tribunal fees so there is nothing left scrap?

Was it Chris Grayling that introduced these fees? Even those that could afford the fees and had a tribunal decision in their favour would only really have a pyrrhic victory. There is little point in having workers rights if there are in effect no means of enforcing them. What have we done to...

Chicago won best picture too.

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if reopening to HH has ever been properly costed? As I understand it they own the track bed and the short tunnel is in reasonable condition. I really hope this happens one day.

It's an argument I've heard a lot and it is quite seductive. However there is little evidence to back this up in reality, in fact it's possible that technology actually increases the amount we travel. Possibly this is because technology allows businesses to forge links with customers over a...

The average tenure of a Secretary of State for Transport is what, 2 or 3 years? The project is likely to see half a dozen ministers occupy that hot seat during its construction. I'm sure there are people all over the country who'd like to see it cancelled so that money can be diverted to their...

Cheers. I hope the problem is sorted soon and work can start. I will definitely be spending more time and money there once it's done.

I noticed that planning permission was granted to expand Hove Park café about a year ago, but no work has started yet. The plans look good so I am disappointed this has not gone ahead yet. Do you know if and when the work will start?

What's going on now is called the outer harbour development. The plans that involved Asda were I think part of the inner harbour development which was rejected by the council a number of years ago. http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/content/planning/major-developments/brighton-marina-development

The much covered Unchained Melody from the 1950s prison movie "Unchained". Depending on your age the plaudits go to The Righteous Brothers, Robson and Jerome or Gareth Gates.

Love Chris Farlowe's voice: Not actually the original, but pre-dates the Clash version and you have to love the dancing girls in this:

I think it is at junctions. Once pedestrians step into the road then they have right of way over vehicles turning into the junction. It's rule 170 from memory and it's very weak. I don't think it uses the word "must" which I believe is legally significant. Don't expect a prosecution if you are...

Yes me too. This is a far bigger threat to me and my children. By my (very rough) estimation, a child born today, if nothing improves, stands an approximate 3% chance of being involved in at least 1 serious road accident in their lives, the vast majority of which are preventable. Not to mention...

I've encountered "do the needful" a few times in emails from Indian colleagues. They also use "revert" to mean respond e.g. "Can you please take a look and revert with your comments"

This would take us to 30 per row between aisles which is more than permitted under normal circumstances. 28 is the maximum. See section 12.16 of http://www.safetyatsportsgrounds.org.uk/sites/default/files/publications/green-guide.pdf 12.16 Number of seats in rows It is recommended that the...

No, I don't think it did. It included wind, solar, biomass and hydro. Nuclear provided 23.2%. So around three quarters of electricity inc. nuclear. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/06/07/uk-sets-new-renewable-energy-record-wind-solar-surge/

Awesome result. Gutted to be at work and unable to watch it. Over the past few years I have gained a lot more enjoyment watching England youth teams than watching the seniors. I think it's because their style of play is so different to that of the full international side.

My situation is that we live in Hove where most of the primary schools have admissions policies based on distance, apart from our nearest which is a faith school and is thus free to set their own criteria. This they chose to do and it was (and still is) based primarily on the regularity of...

7 is Fanny Blankerskoen (no idea on the correct spelling).
