Each to their own. I just wouldn’t go out with only one method of paying, regardless of which one.


But why? Why carry around clutter all the time just on the off chance an extremely rare, once in a blue moon event like this happens? Not being able to buy a bag of shopping isn't exactly the ...

It never fails to amaze me how people can look at the success of Oyster and contactless in London and then come up with something quite so customer-unfriendly in response.


22 years Oyster has been available for now and still most of the country lags behind on even contactless. I was surprised ...

Wow, I have often wondered how many 'old-school' McDonald's (and KFC / Burger Kings) are still in existence in this country. I know there are a few left overseas but companies seem to be pretty quick at keeping their restaurants up to date over here.


Sofia in Bulgaria was full of very old ...

Found another rare (at least in London) McDonald's in Victoria Station with old school non-digital menus above the counter and no screens at all or even app service. The menus were still very much up to date with the Monopoly promo across them. Had a bit of vibe of printing CD booklets in the age of ...

Why does the Glasgow Subway still, in 2024, only operate between 10am and the very specific time of 18:12 on Sundays?

On the eve of the big day I've really tried to rack my brains over what I'd count as genuine lasting achievements the Conservatives have made over the last 14 years. Honestly, the only things I can think of are carrier bags charges (though that was the Lib Dems in coalition), gay marriage, £2 bus ...
