@Layo_FH Your system may be incorrect, a London Borough had my parents home as having downstairs loo - nope. And asked how many bedrooms were upstairs when downsizing (3) I asked if they told them there was also one downstairs (no they didn’t ask me that…) bless ‘em
@ShumBaloo@Canellelabelle Ah but she has an older brother….my older brothers made sure I bowled properly (generally by taking the mick if I didn’t…..so I soon learnt!)
@SBarrettBar@chilternrailway I feel like you have just described EMR at St Pancras often, the reason I don’t feel confident in travelling with my elderly mum from there
@waynetlc@DaveKent101 Also things like road widenings next to old Churchyards have had the same effect. It’s just luck really if people are in an old protected cemetery that’s no longer in use for burials.
@waynetlc@DaveKent101 In the Brighton case I think the fact it’s now owned by a private company rather than the council doesn’t help. A lot of councils I believe are reluctant as it’s a very emotive subject of course but when they run out of space…..
@waynetlc@DaveKent101 I have an ancestor buried in Brighton where the grave was reused by the time we tracked it down. My grandfathers grave is 75 years purchased in the 90’s but it looks like when you purchase a plot nowadays in the same place your exclusive right of burial is only 50 (also Sussex)
@Rod__Mason@anon_opin Yep you could gauge how long it would take - now if you’re even just grabbing something seemingly quick you have no idea how long it will be, no good if you’re then needing to catch a train or something after
@LoreleiLiBan I had August and September babies and yes the difference was huge. August was certainly made to feel bad as a 5 year old in comparison to those almost a year older - a huge difference at that age
@figgled@MildCuthbert Often in the family tree when I find out a ‘real’ name, it’s the same as their parent hence the abundance of nicknames to differentiate!
@EastMidRailway Hi my train from St Pancras to Nottingham was cancelled last Wednesday afternoon, (over a week ago) I put in a Delay repay the same day - still waiting for a response, the train was cancelled by yourselves much earlier that day so I thought it would be an easy quick case?
