I'm not sure I believe the bit about the sirens blaring.

What made me laugh was that they went on to have a second date :))


ETA: It must have really broken the ice :)) (as well as the window .....)

ianr, admire your thinking.


You'd have to think a fair amount of drink had been taken. If either of them was sober they'd have made something out of a coat hanger and a suitable kitchen utensil in the fine Blue Peter tradition that made this country great.


Mind you, if she was sober she probably wouldn't have thrown it out of the window in the first place.

That's about the same amount of time I've been waiting so far for GWR to refund the cost of a ticket for a journey of one hour twenty minutes that took two hours too long. Despite all my attempts to get them to take action it's just one fob-off or delaying tactic after another, and right now it looks like it could easily take as long again. Dismal service.

Ironic, anyway.


Even more so the hen party who complained after being thrown off a flight due to their offensive t-shirts and behaviour upsetting other passengers. The news said the replacement trip took them to the country festival in Las Vegas at the weekend.

Bet you wish you'd taken him up on it now, Sue.


On another topic, thank you to the policeman on the beat near the library today who very sweetly avoided eye contact as I cycled round the corner on the pavement to avoid turning right on the road at that scary junction. Point taken.

I don't think so - how many children are interested in Brexit? Someone has been waging a campaign against it locally for months, often with offensive words and violent images which strangely make no clear arguments but just create a general sense of threat.

    • "Dedicated to the purpose-built student accommodation sector. PBSA News is the leading source of news, insights and analysis for professionals, investors and stakeholders in the purpose-built student accommodation sector. With a mission to provide the latest information and foster collaboration within the rental community."   The PBSA take on the strength of the market seems much more upbeat than does the govt. research paper. Perhaps they are right or perhaps it is in their interests to talk up the market?    
    • I think a lot of people here are just speculating about empty student accommodation properties. Student accommodation developments are very popular because they provide really great rates of return for the owner. A large student accommodation owner, Unite Students, saw 97.5% occupancy across their assets in the 2024/2025 academic year. They have many properties in London; https://pbsanews.co.uk/2024/10/09/unite-students-reports-record-occupancy-rates-in-q3-2024-update/ Here's a bit from CBRE on PBSA properties in London from May 2024: https://www.cbre.co.uk/press-releases/london-plan-policy-fails-to-deliver-affordable-student-accommodation - "According to new research by CBRE and QX Global, the gap between demand for PBSA and available supply in London currently stands at 100,000 – 105,000 full-time students, underscoring how demand for student housing has outpaced supply." - The development pipeline in London isn't keeping up with the demand. Ultimately this development wouldn't be built if student accommodation wasn't in demand. It's proximity to the station means that a student could get to any number of universities easily in a short span of time. Is it ideal? No. Would more affordable housing be better? Yes. Is speculating about channel migrants occupying the space uninformed idiocy? Absolutely.
    • Really pleased your cats are both home now, but what a very difficult situation.
    • it isn't said on any news source that I look at. Are you asking on social media whether what you read on other social media is true?
