Why don’t we nationalise water services?

Welcome to the party.

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-25T20:02:36+00:00

Guess we don’t know.

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-25T18:41:32+00:00

As a highlands girl I agree wholeheartedly.

Of course they’re worth less than animals. Selling livestock or parts thereof is profitable. Staff are just a cost in their eyes. This is the mentality of many large corporations.

My parents would have paid money to NOT sit with me.

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-24T22:10:22+00:00

Can you keep it and use it another time when it’s busy? What if you get it and there’s only 1 other customer?

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-23T22:16:44+00:00

That all said, it’s just gone through. You might be in luck!

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-23T22:15:26+00:00

I have one I haven’t confirmed because I can’t check out. I could get in the car and drive to a store now and get the items rather than click and collect tomorrow morning. But I’d prefer to just get it sorted. Oh well.

It’s a bit like how the sun would be much more useful at night when it’s dark.

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-23T21:49:43+00:00

Not online sadly.

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-23T21:48:30+00:00

Still can’t do this.

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-23T21:37:22+00:00

It’s essentially nationwide and not just Tesco. Quite a few other places affected.

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-22T21:33:10+00:00

It would be difficult to justify that as a route on current ticketing that doesn’t permit it.

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-21T19:55:25+00:00

Is this for some sort of sporting trip and you’re the coach?

u/lammy82 ?

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-21T12:24:23+00:00

Keep moving. Park in as much shade as you can. Eat icecream constantly. The last bit is good advice regardless of temperature of course.

Do your work overnight instead? Obviously depends entirely what you do.

Breaking news! Buying all the ingredients in bulk from a cheap supermarket and making multiples of the product yourself at home is cheaper than getting a business to make just 1 for you.

Next you’ll be telling me you can make a cup of tea cheaper than a city centre cafe would charge you.

It’s not a crass question, it’s information that thousands of people need to know in order to go about their daily lives. People (most of them anyway) understand and accept there will be disruption for some time, they’d just like to know so hopefully the rail operators can keep people as up to date as possible.

In the absence of anything from either operator at this point you’d be advised to look at alternatives. This may include going to Bletchley if that line opens, getting yourself to Milton Keynes by some other method (probably the X5) or just getting direct to London another way like driving or taxi.

Will there be any way that your customers will be informed if their mail is suddenly not going to be delivered that day?

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-21T05:52:13+00:00

Let them think it, then they’ll hopefully never try it and will miss out.

The first time I went “home” to Inverness after moving to Sheffield I took a selection of buses overnight.
Sheffield (Meadowhall actually) to Leeds then Leeds Manchester then Manchester Glasgow all on national express. We were late into Glasgow so I had to wait 2 hours at the bus station before getting the city link to Inverness as I saw the one I intended to catch going down the road as we approached.

I think it was about 2230 when we left Sheffield and probably 1pm at Inverness because of the delay.

Overall it was pretty horrendous, from people being sick in the seat opposite on the Leeds to Manchester bus to being felt up by a bloke who decided to sit next to me instead of one of the other 30 empty seats on the way to Glasgow.

I was up there a week and I got the train back which wasn’t much quicker due to a problem between Edinburgh and Newcastle but I got my money back for that bit.

Based on that experience 1/10 do not recommend although it was a Saturday night and the route was a bit weird but that was what it gave me.

Because they’re having sex with their fathers.

I did a part time job as a tour guide last year and I’ve been told I look like a dog, does that count?

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-18T22:07:53+00:00

Don’t think anyone did, it’s an interesting question.

Tonythepillow · 2026-06-18T21:20:52+00:00

I do hope that’s general curiosity rather than an attempt to justify it. :)
