Hacking,

Just to let you all know this site has been 'hacked' and is suspended until the problem is sorted

Industrial Unrest

BA Unite Workers on strike, Railtrack workers due to go on strike, Fire Brigades Union Members threaten strike action............. Sounds like a summer of discontent. On top of that... Vat going up to 18.5%... Fuel prices due to rise (either by the oil companies, or by Mr Darling's fuel tax . Oh! and National Insurance due to rise. I'm glad I am not a Prime Minister going into a general election!!!!

Neo Gothic Concrete

For a variety of reasons I have had cause to use the famed hs 1 a few times over the last couple of weeks. Regular viewers of this site will know I have issues with the comfort and toilet facilities, but now, having ranted too much about that I have turned my attention to the Stations at Stratford and Ebbsfleet.

Why, oh why, did the designers have to leave them in a state of finish akin to Neo-Gothic, Modernistic, East German Concrete???? In practice looking like the inside of a sewage works!

What a great welcome to all those athletes in 2012.
