@SimonCalder I was caught up in this on 24 June. The 300 euro offer for a hotel is a joke. We searched for hotels when our train was finally cancelled at 9.10pm and all that was available was priced at 880 euros. Finished up spending the night on a seat on a train at the station.

Hi @Anchor_Dairy. the last two packets of your standard 200g anchor butter have tasted different from the anchor I have been eating for the last 63 years. Have you changed something? Won't be buying anymore anchor if this new taste remains...

Can you name the British Racecourse that for many years had the longest run in from the last fence to the winning post, even longer than the run-in on the Grand National course? 🧐 This was because the obstacle nearest the finishing line was a water jump, which cannot be the…

Johnny Mercer pays his wife £45,000 a year to be a secretary. Employing your spouse/relative was supposed to be banned in 2017. But they don’t care. Not only does he employ her, he MASSIVELY overpays her. If you want to see the Government fire her give this a RT.
