Employment isn't falling, number of people in work is increasing but just the number of people looking for work (unemployed) is rising faster.

This will be a pain in the arse. The QR codes take ages to scan compared to tapping and even magstrips.

I don't see why digital tickets can't use the NFC on phones to enable tapping rather than scanning?

Praying for an appeal for non-determination 🤞

The risers or the pods?

I expect this will change in the next few decades and become common in the UK as has happened with bathroom and utility pods.

I've seen one example of prefab'd riser construction, including heating, cooling, BCW and drainage plumbing, in a development in London. The design was seen as over engineered, expensive and with limited suppliers not currently the preferred solution.

Concession model as operated by TFL shows the benefits of both

But that just means we lose money?

Thanks Pete, will check it out

Oh sorry I didn't think of the religious uses!

Just out of curiosity would electric candles be completely pointless?

Stop liking candles is probably the best advice rather than getting an extinguisher. Candles are also awful for air quality.

Make sure your boiler is serviced, and gas system has had a leak test, and get an electrical safety inspection done if it hasn't been done in A few years.

Yeah dog pens, what makes me lean towards traveller palace. Those and the throne room

Scottish rail journeys account for about 10% of UK rail journeys.

What £ and % have you experienced?

Rail fares to be frozen in England next year Regulated fares, which include season tickets and off-peak returns, will not see annual price rises for the first time in 30 years, the government announces.

Rail fares have been frozen!

Petrol and energy prices have been falling or steady since their peak in mid 2023!

Lovely looking dense development when I visited the other week. Will eventually link up to fully redeveloped area all the way to Bow Creek.

But if that was the case you wouldn't have stairs at all in any building?

Most houses (pre-1940s) have these in the UK. Why would they not be considered safe?

I'm sorry do you not use modular false work systems in the US??

They have been pretty much standard in the UK for 40+ years.

Pretty sure that's the shot that broke his jaw in two places...

Bonnie Blue Vs Lambeth Council?

The admission of desire of violence against people just doing their jobs (and keeping local facilities open) just dropped in there like it's nothing.

Space saving in risers is also another plus.

You're exactly right, the reason they delay these assessments is to save on costs. Speeding them up just costs them more

I once had a hilarious job sampling the Moselle to monitor for mobilised contamination during an adjacent construction project during remediation. Made sure the techs wore gloves washed their hands thoroughly after picking the loo roll off the sample containers!

Greenbelt is the noose around London's neck

Oh yeah I didn't mean greater pop than NY, just that London has outgrown the greater London boundary which really should be expanded
