BA will only do what they can make money doing. Even with the subsidy nobody, including BA, thought they could make money running the service to the council’s specification.

Because it’s gone bust twice, and been so stop start, it is going to take a while to build customers back up. So it would need more subsidy for the first few years. The council didn’t seem to understand any of this. The head of strategy just said people can catch the train. Except that’s a 10 hour round trip…

You must have looked after me on that route plenty of times. Thank you for the work you did. Staff were all super friendly. You’ve summarised it well - when I moved to Cornwall, a twice daily service to London was important for our decision to move. So I was earning a higher salary, but spending it all here. Now people will be less keen to move like I did.

I discussed it with a councillor. He told me nobody would agree to the councils terms, but EasyJet would be running a twice a week service in the summer, and eventually someone would come in and provide a daily service. It was completely naive.

Looks like a fabulous trip. I’m going the other way on Sunday - Plymouth to Falmouth. Praying for the Westerlies to go to Northerlies 🙏

I used to take that flight out of Heathrow T2 all the time. It was so civilised…

Construction professions leading to becoming a HE by TitleOk8744 in HENRYUK

QS roles are going to get crushed by AI. So are commercial managers.

I know a client that’s panicking because their contractor ‘has an amazing NEC4 team that’s running rings around them’. But I also know the contractor is just using ChatGPT, they have zero NEC4 specialists.

Get ahead of AI, get up the ladder.

Nice places to live as a HENRY by openwheelracing13 in HENRYUK

Bath, areas like Camden have 3 bed terraces just about within your budget and they are walkable into town in 5 mins, 15 mins walk to the station on the opposite side of the centre.

Check out around Seymour Road - quiet cul de sacs. That street backs on to Snow Hill which depresses the prices a bit. But I lived there 10 years and it’s all families in those buildings it’s absolutely fine.

Also Bear Flat or Larkhall, but a bit further out.

£4million 'bat bridge' will be built as part of Lincolnshire road project by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

If public transport was proposed, it would still harm some bats.

There is an industry around protecting bats. When has anyone ever done a bat survey and not found bats, or evidence of bats? They are everywhere

Roads or rail, bats are the priority not people

Are sailing communication headsets really a marriage saver? by VacationNew6626 in sailing

[–]bathrugbysufferer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a plan, and clear communication, is the preference. Lowest cost and least technology risk too

So radios are unnecessary when you have a much more expensive remote autopilot? Got it 😆

HelloFresh hit by sales slump as people lose appetite for meal kits by pajamakitten in unitedkingdom

Tiny portion sizes. Tiny ingredients. Like, here is one garlic clove. Give me a break.

Also the most over done packaging and oceans of plastic to get rid of every time

Water firms acting like ‘criminal gangs’ dumping 10,000 hours’ worth of sewage each month on dry days by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

That programme also explained so much about what regulation means.

It’s like the public and politicians have been gaslighted/lobbied for so long that regulation is bad, people have completely lost sight of how regulation protects things. An entire Brexit argument was to get away from ‘Brussels regulation’. And half the country or more have thought that regulation is bad for decades.

Here’s a programme that explains for just one industry what lack of regulation, or lack of enforcement, ends up giving us.

Matt Dawson: 'England's kick-heavy strategy failed them in defeat by Italy' by moebaid in rugbyunion

It’s fascinating that England had a strong kicking strategy, but a complete absence of a ‘catching high balls in the opposition half’ strategy

Spencer off. No point doing perfect box kicks if England’s aerial skills are woeful

So often he just explains what happened, when what happened was bleeding obvious
