But TFL is removing bus times as we can use our phones


Anyway no one will try it with me - too loud and grumpy :)


Edit: meaning I've never even had anyone try and I'm always out maybe my (mis)demeanour

so I've made my own risk assessment

The scenarios below do show a lack of joined up thinking. On the one hand we are advised we should not use technology in the street because it is a thief magnet, but transport companies are making it necessary by using phone apps for tiemtables. Another example is parking, where old coin operated boxes are replaced by phone-in with payment by credit card.

I know it's inconsistent, but we just have to make a decision I suppose.


I have headphones on half the time so it's pretty obvious where the phone is,

it's pointless having technology if you're afraid to use it because of some

scumbags.


Hope someone steals their mopeds.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
