This isn't a direct dig at Train drivers but how has it came about that a train driver can earn on average £52,000 a year after training for 18 months or so, but a nurse needs to train for 3 years and then can literally work any time day or night and not be paid overtime be paid around £35,000? ...

Just a quick one. Driving through tomorrow with the family. Normally just go to the park & ride and get the tram into town. Missus just informed me there's a rail strike on so are the trams striking too?
The stooshie over the last couple of days over Springsteen at Murrayfield highlighting that some ticket sales are now "dynamic" in the way flight prices change.

Think it's tomorrow night. He seemingly reveals that he was the victim of child trafficking at the age of 8 or 9. Kept as a domestic slave by the family that bought him. Apparently finally confided in a teacher who got social services involved and he was put in foster care. Brave to come out...
I have always been interested in astronomy, probably since watching Cosmos on the Telly back in the 70s and 80s and to see the pictures from the James Webb telescope today looking back 13 billion years is pretty amazing.

Has anyone purposely decided to let their garden go a bit wild? I don’t just mean being lazy and letting it go for a while before mowing the lawn, I mean taking your hand off the steering wheel and letting nature take it back (to an extent). I’ve just bought a house and I’ve been considering...

Just like her dad did a few years back. Now called the less offensive National Rally, it's still very much the Front National with new marketing. Le Pen will now go head to head against President Macron in the final round of voting. She won't win; people who wouldn't have bothered to vote will...
