Public transport - why?
Sam Nelson wrote:
Bus to work and back would be about GBP2.50 each way (depends on the driver and which buses turn up). They've just allowed staff to have the student- discount card, which gets half-fare on some buses. Don't suppose you have an easy link to anything about that, do you? It could be worth suggesting hereabouts. |

It could be worth suggesting hereabouts. It's all a bit haphazard at the moment, because apparently it's only just happened. You go to https://www.firstgroup.com/students/...ast/idcard.php and answer `Staff' to the full/part-time student question. You also have to lie about which year of study you're in. That's as much detail as I have, right now. -- SAm. |

I just checked and Arriva's student discounts only apply to season tickets, so would be less appealing. Never mind. |

I went to Birmingham yesterday on the train. It was fine, if a bit full. But boy, isn't New Street a ********? Indeed, but outside near the Royal Mail depot is an extremely fine Indian Restaurant with a decent wine list. OTOH, when a colleague of mine was crossing from the station to the restaurant someone bashed him over the head with a brick and stole his laptop. |

The message
from Bing Trotsky contains these words: In article , lid says... I went to Birmingham yesterday on the train. It was fine, if a bit full. That's about the nicest thing I've ever read about Birmingham. IMO it's a complete ******** and a bit full. But boy, isn't New Street a ********? It's in Birmingham, what do you expect? Could be worse though. You might have had to go to Grimsby. When in Birmingham visit the Anchor at Digbeth, and find an imposing selection of cask-conditioned ales and beers. Puts B'ham in a whole new category - i.e.: Must Go There. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
