@lfg_uk Why the obsession with Trams?
I lived in Toronto, trams are not good. Last time I was in Bordeaux the trams weren't operating due to engineering work which meant all adjacent roads were also closed. A 20min journey from the train station was diverted and took 1.5 hours.
@DanNeidle@trevgoes4th@DuxVul Before the election i didnt think Labour could possibly increase taxes even more than the Tories had - but boy was I wrong!
@BigBreakfastLob France's reputation for good food is living on past glories. France is no better than Britain - you can get great food, but there is a lot of poor quality, mass produced crap
@Sacha_Lord@lewis_goodall The Soho Society make a good story, but its not the whole picture. 120 venues in Soho have a late licence. If there was demand they would all be open till 6am, but they're not. The problems are bigger than a residents association complaining
@Layo_FH Yeah, I live in Shoreditch, its quite common. Lots of older couples moved in to be closer to their grown up kids. My street is a mix of retired people and young families. A lot of flats nearby are Airbnbs, so thats forced younger people out too
@AaronBastani@lewis_goodall Maybe they do. But that doesn't factor into why venues that have licences are closing early.
The police have far more say in this than local residents.
@W98AB This whole thing smacks of a "Christmas Wonderland" that promises a magical experience, but turns out to be a horse with reindeer antlers stood in a muddy field.
