I was discussing the Covid era with a few friends earlier today and everyone said the same thing - the Covid era broke something. Britain has never been the same since. A combination of the economic fall out & knocking the stuffing out of the national spirit. You can feel it.
🇵🇹 Now 15 dead and 20 injured after the famous yellow Lisbon elevator tram derailed today, apparently cause a cable snapped
This makes it the biggest disaster in Portugal in 24 years
Terrible tragedy
@CrossCountryUK hello, my daughter is trying to get to Swansea from lough. Are services between Leicester and Birmingham and then Cardiff running normal today? Txs
It’s a nightmare to rely on @CrossCountryUK to get you anywhere. My daughter spent all afternoon riding trains (she was supposed to go to Swansea, left from lough at lunch time and now she’s back in Loughborough again)as it seems that getting to Birmingham it’s impossible.
@zaatarbread I don’t understand it either, she was amazing. In fact Dylan had a very bad week last week and he got given a second chance yet Sumayah didn’t despite being twice star baker 🤷🏻♀️
I’m not inclined to leave twitter - because if all the people who post nice stuff leave - then we are allowing the cess pit people take over - let’s fill this thing with art and books and birds and flowers and jokes etc - let’s swamp it with good stuff - reclaim it
How ridiculous that this family own 10 miles of the seabed round the UK and earn from any windfarms/development. Retweet if all monies earned should go to finance public services #AbolishTheMonarchy#KevinMaguire
I posted about this before, but last month I was a witness in court describing how a man that I did not know, and had never met, battered me at my front door.
His defence solicitor Kieran Clegg said I brought it on myself three times in court- because I didn’t shut the door.
Even when you get as far as court there is a sneering male defence solicitor right there to cheer their male client on that batters you.
@CrossCountryUK I’ll try that but honestly, last time I never got any competition. I was out of pocket because I had to ask my partner to take me half way so I could get a train close to my destination and at the end I never got compensated.
@CrossCountryUK another disgusting trip where even though I reserved seats I’m now standing up the whole way from derby to Bristol. Why do these trains allow so many people in the trains but charge you a fortune for tickets😤
