I got one of these today and to my amazement there was actually enough space for me to sit in one of the seats upstairs without my legs being squashed up against the seat in from of me. Could it be that some designer somewhere has come to the realisation that there are actually a large number of people out there who are taller than 5?9??


Anyway the 40 stops behind my house and buggers up my TV reception so a pox on it and all who travel in it.

And how pleasantly soft and cushy the seats are for the boney of arse of this world. It was like sitting on a 2 tiered Victoria sponge but without all the usual liberal guilt you get from using cake as a cushion while people in Slough are forced to eat salt laden sandwiches from Tesco.

Nope not just you Anna. They were especially tricky when wearing nice smooth, shiny suit trousers. It was an interesting way to get to know other commuters a bit better.

That depends, were you on the fucking bus last night when it stopped outside my window for ten minutes, disrupting the channel 4+1 signal and consequently my dinnertime episode of the Simpsons? Non-slip, bum-friendly seats are all well and good but a man can only take so much of Marge?s blue, bouffant crackling and pixilating to an electronic staccato after a hard day at work.

I was. I was struck by the sight of a half-naked man dunking handfuls of Wotsits into a tin of beans, whilst swearing at a flickering blue screen. I haven't seen the like since I last visited the IT department to ask for a new mouse battery.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
