  1. There is one way of doing it.

     

    If they buy in 10 items at £50 each, (£500) and sell 9 at £75 each. (£675) they have overall made £175 profit with 1 still remaining. They could GIVE it to you and still be in profit!

    If only it were that simple. If it is as simple as you think why not open a shop and try it ???

  2. Quite striking and shocking to see DB suspending all long-distance services and NS virtually all services.We tend to regard our transport as falling over at the first difficulty, yet we seem to have kept a near normal rail service running across the whole country in the face of the same storm . If Greater Anglia were still running normal services from Clacton & Colchester south what were the problems on the Continent?

     

    It can't have gained that much strength crossing the North Sea , surely - if anything western Britain should have extracted the sting from the storm? 

     

     

    Rubbish it is a sensible precaution. Would you like to be on a train that hit a fallen tree or other obstacle at 130 KMPH ??

  3. What seems strange to me is that the events page has been reduced in BRM for several months. Looking at the October 2017 BRM (published in September in the lead to to a busy exhibition time) there are just 9 exhibitions listed

     

    The fact that those objecting to the change haven't noticed that the change took place ages ago, and BRM hasn't been deluged with topics about exhibitions being a flop, would indicate to me that the change was a good call

     

     

    A flop from whose point of view??

  4. Presumably you know how many of those 150,000 views are unregistered members, will you share that ? (and even then that's still not the number of readers, it's the number of times it was read.) I presume you also know exactly how many page views a month the diary section gets and I bet it's not 150,000. 

     

    My point is that it isn't a fair comparison so the numbers are meaningless. You're comparing apples with oranges and expressing the answer in either bananas or pears depending on which suits best.  

     

     

    More likely trying justify the charge

  5. I think that the UK Model Shop Directory will be the first site most people check before any others I certainly check that site before any other. That site together with publicity picked up at other events attended . The attitude of look it up on the web is a little irritating to say the least

  6. Afternoon all.

     

    I am confident that John and Chris will have a good time even without my best wishes, but they can have have them anyway.

    Throughout the year Marks and Spencer offer 25% off when you buy six or more bottles of wine. This offer was taken off at the start of December. Merry Cristmas to you too, M&S

    You know it makes sense [ the decision to take the 25% offer off that is]

  7. It took a long time before the completed Long Ashton P&R opened due to disagreements between the councils - the site's in North Somerset, but the buses were subsidised by Bristol City Council. At least SGC and BCC come under the new 'Metro mayor' (not the City mayor, Marvin), so there might be more cooperation. North Somerset voted not to join the Metro mayor area.

     

     

    Two posts that could cheerfully be discontinued. When Avon was disbanded Bristol should have included Bradley Stoke, Emersons Green and Kingswood and the remaining bits handed back to the old counties 

  8. It was, and was one of the nicer sections of the cyclepath through a deep cutting and under a very nice high 3 arch bridge, through Siston Common. The replacement route took a lovely flat, wide, cycle way and replaced it with an awful narrow path complete with steep gradients and 90 degree turns. I know many people who live in & south of Warmley stopped using the cycle path north beyond Warmley after the change, as it's just not very nice to use.

     

    Do you have a link to the proposals? There's a brand new one just opened at Lyde Green just up the A4174 so I'm not sure what another a few miles away is intended to do!

     

     

    It was on Points West last Thursday
