Surprised it doesn't also have the highest young person pregnancy rates

Not much different to now unreliable dirty and expensive. govt did little to fix it cos it cost money to improve. And government would rather spend the money elsewhere. Keep an eye out for labour nicking the investment money I bet it'll get happen cos the same people demanding nationalisation also demand other spending.

Dave grohl I Reckon. : p 😁

A joined up service. Will take years to restore that.

I remember too, and I agree. Problem was that govts kept taking back the investment spending. Cos they could always find something else to spend it on. If it had had investment of the current levels it would have been much better. Nationalisation is politically idiotic cos the govt that nationalises will be blamed for every late train and any rise in fares.nationalisation is a good idea but not a good idea politically. few votes will be won by doing it and loads will be lost. And the govt will still take back the investment spending. Probably why labour want to nationalise.

No idea if it's allowed cos there's not many lions in Devon, not even east Devon.

Might do some borrowing for investment spending to create some growth.

It's another way to try to scare people about labour high taxes.

Careful the govt might take you seriously 😣

i've got about 25 years of programmes (glastonbury & other) on my wall, about to be moved to a different wall.

best thing i can say about womad is that its unlikely to be duplicating an experience of that child, there's a lot there they're unlikely to experience otherwise.

var is still working out as many said it would its cured nothing of footballs problems, and added a few more.

i've never taken my kid there but i've been and I'm not hooked on the idea of shambala being good for kids, too many inconsiderate wreckheads I'd say, and not very much to keep a kid entertained with apart from the parents.

womad is a lovely festival for kids and the site is lovely always some cool shade in the arboretum, and the music (for me) a discovery (was always pleasantly surprised at how much my son (a Glastonbury veteran) embraced the non-western music . and you don't have to worry about beered up w*nkers.

i used to love guilfest and womad with my kid. others will probably have different ideas.

glasto is great for kids but as the parent i found other festivals much more pleasurable for me, without the kids having less fun. they're less daunting for both parent and child ,and smaller crowds at other festivals make it easier to dip in & out of things as suits the child's interest.

i see the beeb have found a way to keep Huw Edwards off our screens

still around the same percentage as they got last election

its a good way for him to highlight labours need to raise taxes for the tories that hate taxes and might still be persuaded to vote tory.

So are you pridz had a big hit with someone else's record, not a straight version but someone else's.

Eric pridz plays steve wildwoods records.

Resale was yesterday.

I remember me saying demand will hold prices up and being told they'd fall loads.

can't remember what they're called but i did have those lumps on my eyelids which denote high cholesterol, but since I've been on statins they've gone away.
